Redefining Flash Storage Solution - Novachips

Redefining Flash Storage Solution Through Capacity + Efficiency + Performance + Form

PRODUCT GUIDE

Next Generation Flash Memory (HLNAND)

SSD Controller Firmware

SSD Device

Flash Storage System

Novachips is a leading provider of a broad range of Flash storage processors and storage drives with breakthrough capacity and scalability. We reimagined Flash storage from the inside out and offer the SSD (Solid State Drive) industry’s most advanced capabilities with high storage capacity for enterprise-class storage applications.

Novachips products are built upon the company’s unique Flash memory architecture, which significantly outpaces the scalability, performance and reliability of SSDs that use NAND Flash.

Holistic Approach to Redefine Flash Storage

Three key components in SSD systems• Flash Memory: HLNAND Flash (Next Generation Flash Memory)• Controller: SSD/HLSSD controller• Firmware: customized firmware based on workload

Full control over Flash memory, controller and firmware to maximize performance and reliability.

1. One gigabyte (GB) is equal to one billion bytes, one terabyte (TB) equals 1,000GB (one trillion bytes), and one petabyte (PB) equals 1,000TB (one quadrillion bytes) when referring to hard drive or solid state drive capacity. Accessible capacity will vary from the stated capacity due to formatting and partitioning of the drive, the computer’s operating system, and other factors.
