NANDrive

Greenliant, a developer of special-purpose NAND-flash storage devices, this week introduced its new lineup of ultra-high endurance SSDs. The NANDrive SSDs are aimed at write-intensive industrial applications, and utilize the company’s proprietary EnduroSLC technology and in-house controllers. Greenliant’s NANDrive SSDs offer endurance ratings of of 50K, 100K, or 250K per-cell program/erase (P/E) cycles, which is well beyond everything offered by "conventional" NAND flash memory manufactured today (SLC is typically rated for ~100K, MLC ~10k, and TLC ~3k). Right now, the only other storage solutions from Greenliant that offer 250K P/E cycles are their GLS85VM eMMC 5.1, which are available at up to 32GB capacities and offer sequential performance of up to 185 MB/s reads and 140 MB/s writes in HS400 mode. The drives are designed to...
