Unlocking the Potential of QLC SSDs with FDP Technology
Dapustor Corporation, a pioneer in high-performance data storage solutions, announced today its expanded collaboration with Marvell. This partnership aims to deliver breakthrough Flexible Data Placement (FDP) technology optimized for Quad-Level Cell (QLC) and Triple-Level Cell (TLC) Solid-State Drives (SSDs). This collaboration is set to revolutionize the storage industry by addressing the inherent challenges of QLC SSDs, enhancing their performance, endurance, and capacity. This provides a robust and cost-effective solution for data centers, cloud computing, and high-performance computing environments.
Impressive Performance Metrics with Marvell and Dapustor FDP Solutions
QLC SSDs are renowned for their ability to store four bits of data per memory cell, offering significant capacity advantages and a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to other SSD types. Despite these benefits, QLC SSDs face challenges such as lower endurance and slower write speeds. The innovative FDP technology supported in the Marvell Bravera SC5 SSD controller with the firmware solution developed by Dapustor directly addresses these issues. FDP technology intelligently distributes data across the QLC flash memory, optimizing the use of available memory cells and minimizing the impact of write amplification.
Extensive testing has demonstrated that FDP algorithms integrated with the Marvell Bravera SC5 SSD controller and Dapustor firmware can achieve a write amplification (WA) close to 1.0. A WA of 1.0 indicates that the SSD is utilizing the NAND flash to its full endurance potential without wastage. This optimization ensures that the Dapustor QLC SSD H5000 series can perform at its highest possible efficiency.
Advancing Storage Innovation and Excellence
Today’s announcement builds on the groundbreaking work that Marvell and Dapustor have achieved in bringing PCIe Gen 5 SSDs to market. The companies’ latest cooperation on FDP technology signifies an important milestone in opening new possibilities for QLC applications. By combining Marvell’s expertise in data center semiconductor solutions with Dapustor’s innovative storage technologies, the collaboration is set to deliver unparalleled advancements in SSD performance and efficiency.
