Silicon Motion, the company team much of the current Compact Flash cards, has announced the FerriSSD. This SSD is a "DSS on a chip", a chip that combines flash memory and controller. Sandisk already offers this kind of chip, but indicates that Silicon Motion's own, with its 16 x 20 mm is the smallest in the world.
This type of SSD is obviously intended to memory cards: neither the performance nor the ability do to compete with conventional SSDs. But in a Compact Flash or simply as storage in a tablet or smartphone. The chip Silicon Motion offers two capacities: either 32 GB or 64 GB SLC flash memory flash MLC.
For simple integration into the Compact Flash cards, core business of Silicon Motion, FerriSSD has two external interfaces, the PATA or SATA. If the SATA is more modern and faster, the PATA interfaces easily with Compact Flash cards - which is derived from the PATA interface - but with some entry-level SoC, which do not support PATA .
Missing an important point: the price of the chip. We need to follow that success, the chip is not a whole lot more expensive flash memory controller more classic.
