Submission + - Micron's P320h Native PCI Express SSD Tested (hothardware.com)
MojoKid writes: "Most of the PCIe SSD cards on the market today, with the exception of products from Fusion-io, still rely on SATA or SAS-based NAND controllers to interface on the backend of the device to the NAND array. PCIe cards from OCZ, Intel, LSI and others use controllers from LSI SandForce or the like. Fusion-io was the first company to introduce a true native PCI Express to NAND Flash controller-processor, though Micron has also been cooking up their own native PCIe SSD technology for some time now. The Micron P320h is a PCI Express SSD that Micron partnered with IDT, a veteran semiconductor manufacturer out of San Jose that specializes in high speed serial switching and memory interface technology, for co-development of the product. The Micron P320h is a half height, half length design that employs a 32 channel NAND Flash storage processor with a native PCI Express X8 interface. Performance-wise, the card shows considerable strength in high IO queue depths, especially for Reads."
