[citation][nom]cdillon[/nom]I don't see this taking off. It is "single-channel" only in name. Notice there's still 16 flash chips on there? They're just daisy-chained together in a ring, as the article states, but half the people commenting don't RTFA.It still takes just as many flash modules to reach this performance level as with the existing "multi-channel" controllers, so there's absolutely no gain here. It also requires their proprietary flash modules instead of the standard ONFI NAND flash that everybody else is using right now. It's like Rambus DRAM all over again.[/citation]
Sounds like the difference between Token-ring networking and Ethernet networking.
Are each of the 8 MCPs in a Token-ring in each module, or do the 2 modules (pack of 8 MCPs) make up the token ring? Cool stuff.
