Event Recap: Flash Memory Summit 2015 - Santa Clara, CA

Earlier this month, SATA-IO treated Flash Memory Summit 2015 attendees to a preview of the upcoming SATA specification enhancements, which will enable higher capacity, reliability and flexibility. SATA-IO representatives were on hand to answer questions about the new developments, including:

• New transmitter specification to increase reliability in power intensive environments
• Remote power cycling of SATA drives to simplify maintenance procedures
• Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) support to facilitate high capacity drives
• Added flexibility in the drive spin-up control and activity indicators to provide hosts with more choices

Further demonstrating the technology’s diverse portfolio of applications, members also provided a variety of SATA products at the booth:

• 1.8” SATA SSD (Intel)
• 2.5” SATA SSD (Intel)
• mSATA SSD (Kingston)
• SATA M.2 SSDs (Intel, Kingston, Micron)
• SATA SMR HDD (HGST)
• SATA SSHDs (Seagate)
• PCI Express 3.0 Protocol Analyzer for SATA Express (Teledyne LeCroy)

A special thank you to all of the members that contributed their time and products!
