Mtron Controller Technology Overview   |   SSD Performance   |   SSD Testing Process  

Mtron's industry leading controller technology delivers extremely high sustained read and write speeds, impressive IOPS performance and virtually no seek time through a series of unique design approaches.

  • A high bandwidth flash memory bus with aggressive data interleaving
  • Intelligent write buffering using a 16MB SDRAM chip to flush multiple flash chips in parallel, thereby reducing the large overhead needed for block merging and garbage collection
  • An efficient flash translation layer (FTL) with extensive hardware automation and a simple mapping policy

Tests prove, when compared to SSD competitors, Imation Solid State Drives powered by Mtron provide the fastest data storage currently available.
