SK Hynix company is virtually unknown to the modern average consumer as a manufacturer of solid-state drives flash memory (SSD). However, SK Hynix - is one of the six leading manufacturers of NAND in the world, along with alliances Intel and Micron (IMFT), SanDisk and Toshiba, as well as working in isolation (and successfully competing with these alliances put together) Samsung. Also owned by SK Hynix has for some time now the developer microcontrollers Link_A_Media (LAMD), a well-known, in particular, the controller LM87800, l?gshemu based drives Corsair Neutron GTX and Corsair Neutron, and Seagate 600.
And yet, having similar technical resources, SK Hynix has focused almost entirely on the only corporate customers and collectors of ready PC - its first and only retail SSD Hynix SH910 was released in 2012. Only this year, Hynix memory again hit the retail part of SSD-drives: first 16-nm MLC NAND, covered Intel 535, and then a 16-nm TLC NAND - ADATA Premier SP550.
But it seems that the decline in the market DRAM-memory has forced SK Hynix again draw your attention to NAND and retail: the other day Japanese stores started selling SSDs Canvas SL300 with 250 and 500 GB, as well as Canvas SC300 volume of 128, 256 and 512 GB .
SL300 released only in the form factor 2.5 "7mm, but SC300 made once in three types - 2.5" 7 mm, mSATA and M.2 NGFF 2280. The company was limited to only the type of memory: SC300 based on MLC NAND, and SL300 - on TLC NAND. Process technology is not made public, but, most likely, is 16 nm.
Speed characteristics for SC300 set to 530 MB / s on a linear reading and 200 (128 GB), 380 (256 GB) and 470 (512 GB) MB / s on the linear recording. For SL300 - 540 MB / s on a linear reading and 470 MB / s for both linear recording volumes. The warranty period for the SC300 is claimed to be 5 years (but not more than 72 terabytes of recorded data) for SL300 - 3 years (without restrictions on the volume of the recording).
Canvas SC300 is already available in the UK mirror Amazon for 38.73, 63.51, and 148.28 GBP depending on the volume . Related Products :
