SMART Modular Technologies, announced its MRAM NVM Express Card. The PCIe HHHL (Half-Height Half-Length) form factor card is an MRAM based SSD that provides the high-speed and high-endurance associated with DRAMs, combined with the non-volatility of Flash without the need for power backup.
SMART has partnered with Everspin Technologies, a leading pioneer in MRAM technology development, to launch this new MRAM-based product. SMART’s new MRAM NVM Express Card allows OEMs to accelerate their enterprise compute and storage systems with high-speed access to power fail safe data and is available in a 1GB density for customer evaluation. This new MRAM solution supports greater than 1.5 million IOPS and 6µs latency, based on 4K random read/write.
Applications where the NVMe PCIe card is designed to be implemented are storage acceleration and metadata caching; specifically servicing storage arrays, file systems, tiering and online transaction processing (OLTP) log caching, and remote shared persistent memory applications.
