Microchip launches Flashtec NVMe 5016 data center SSD controller, sequential read exceeds 14GB/s

According to news from this website on August 7, Microchip announced the launch of a new generation of Flashtec NVMe 5016 data center-level solid-state drive master on the 5th of this month (local time). The controller supports PCIe 5.0 and can be configured in single x4 port or dual x2 port mode.

Flashtec NVMe 5016 is equipped with 16 independent flash memory channels, compatible with various NAND flash memories from SLC to QLC, supports flash memory interface rates up to 3200MT/s, and supports DDR5-5200 of 4 Ranks for external cache.

This controller can achieve a sequential read rate of 14GB/s and a random read rate of up to 3500K IOPS. At the same time, it only requires 1W power to support a transfer rate of more than 2.5GB/s, providing higher bandwidth with lower energy consumption. .

Microchip’s new master is also compliant with the NVMe 2.0+ protocol and supports advanced features such as ZNS (Note from this site: Partition Namespace), FDP (Flexible Data Placement), etc., which can further reduce the write amplification factor WAF.

Pete Hazen, Vice President of Microchip’s Data Center Solutions Business Unit, said:

Data center technology must keep up with the times to keep up with the major developments in AI and ML. Our fifth-generation Flashtec NVMe controller is designed to lead the market in meeting the growing demand for high-performance, power-optimized SSDs.

NVMe 5016 Flashtec PCIe controller can be deployed in data centers to facilitate efficient and secure cloud computing and business-critical applications.
