Controller brings SSD benefits to CE products
Marvell
88SE9130 controller
The 88SE9130 solution is said to bring solid state drive (SSD) benefits to consumer desktop motherboards and an array of consumer electronics (CE) products.
Powered by Hyperduo technology, the 88SE9130 controller enables SSD-like performance while allowing all data to be stored on a traditional SATA hard disk drive (HDD).
Configured with one hard disk drive and one SSD drive, the 88SE9130 uses intelligent algorithms to automatically pin hot data files and directories to a SATA SSD, while enabling all data to be safely stored on a larger-capacity SATA HDD.
Using industry-standard benchmarks, such as PCMark, on consumer desktop machines, Marvell has demonstrated that the 88SE9130 Hyperduo solution can achieve 80 per cent of the performance of a SATA SSD, while storing all data on a traditional large-capacity SATA HDD.
The 88SE9130 offers two product modes: Safe Mode and Capacity Mode.
Safe Mode provides optimal data protection by mirroring data on SSD to the hard disk for maximum resiliency, while Capacity Mode combines SSD and HDD capacity for the most cost-effective configuration.
The 88SE9130 brings automated and integrated SSD acceleration technology to the mainstream consumer technology market, especially with high-end desktops and laptops, home NAS and set-top boxes and host bus adapters.
