FADU Technology releases new generation of PCIe Gen 5 SSDs and controller designs

FADU Technology announced the launch of a new generation of PCIe Gen 5 SSDs and controller designs. As a fabless start-up company, FADU Technology is committed to developing and providing advanced flash memory technology solutions to meet the growing data storage needs of OEMs and hyperscale data centers.

FADU’s PCIe 5.0 controller designs solution supports PCIe 5.0 x4 channels, NVMe 1.4a, and OCP Cloud Spec 2.0. FADU said that due to the high power consumption and high heat, the traditional architecture is in the PCIe 5.0 specification, and it will be challenged to meet the performance specifications. A performance drop of 60% or more is common. FADU adopts a more efficient architecture to maintain high quality of service (QoS) with as low power consumption as possible.

“At every generation, anyone can meet performance – but without an efficient architecture, it’s impossible to meet performance, at low power, with sustained, high QoS,” stated Jihyo Lee, FADU Co-Founder, and CEO. “FADU’s unique architecture has proven its ability to meet all three opposing design criteria again as we prepare to support the industry’s migration to PCIe Gen 5,” Lee continued.

FADU Echo SSDs Preliminary Specification

This time FADU launched the SSD called the FADU Echo series, using the FADU FC5161 main control that supports the PCIe 5.0 specification, including E1.S, U.2, E3, and E1.L form factors. FADU technicians intend to discuss with companies preparing to deploy PCIe 5.0 SSD in 2022 at the Open Computing Global Summit held from November 9th to 10th. In addition, the FADU Delta Gen4 platform will be displayed. Its PCIe 4.0-based SSD has been put into production, which is suitable for ultra-large-scale data centers and edge clouds.
