The new release delivers the performance, power efficiency benefits needed for the Ultrabook market segment
Electronics company LSI has upgraded its SandForce SF-2200/2100 Client Flash Storage Processors (FSPs) to meet the power consumption requirements of Ultrabooks.
Upgraded LSI Flash Storage Processors manages flash memory in solid state drives (SSDs) and delivers the performance and power efficiency benefits needed for the Ultrabooks.
The upgraded release includes new power management optimisations, which will enable SSD manufacturers to develop drives that extend battery life and reduce system resume times, critical requirements in thin-and-light Ultrabook platforms.
The enhanced features in LSI SandForce SF-2141, SF-2241 and SF-2281 client FSPs will enable Ultrabooks to consume less power, enable faster system boot and wake times, meet the low Z-height product requirement of Ultrabooks and addresses 24GBs to 512GBs of NAND flash memory.
With the new upgraded release, Ultrabooks can now support SATA 6Gb/s host connectivity and all MLC flash product families virtually.
LSI Flash Components Division Marketing vice president Thad Omura said, "LSI SandForce FSPs deliver impactful enhancements to the everyday computing user experience and design benefits that are especially valuable to Ultrabook manufacturers."
