With Yangtze Memory's mass production of China-made 3D flash memory, the spring of China-madeSSD is here. On May 15, Changsha Goke Microelectronics announced a long-term supply agreement with Yangtze Memory to purchase 64 layers of 3D flash memory developed by Yangtze Memory.
Goke Microelectronics also pre-released the 331C-Y hard drive at the collaboration ceremony, which features a self-developed SSD mainframe and Changjiang TCL flash memory at speeds up to 560MB/s.
This isn't the first time Goke Microelectronics has partnered with Yangtze Memory, as Goke Microelectronics also announced a new generation of SSD master GK2302 V200 series fully adaptable to Yangtze Memory's 128-layer QLC flash.
In fact, the two companies have been working together since 2015, when Goke Microelectronics began working with Yangtze Memory's predecessor, Wuhan New Core 3D Flash, when it was just getting started.
Earlier this year, Yangtze Memory held an annual marketing partner conference to honor early adopters of key value in market layout and eco-collaboration, with Goke Microelectronics receiving the "Market Potential of the Year" award.
Goke Microelectronics not only supports China-made flash memory, but also launched a variety of China-made SSDs. This time, Goke Microelectronics pre-released the 311C-Y series SSDs, using its own GK2302 main control chip and Yangtze Memory 64-layer TLC 3D flash memory, realizing the dual China-made main control + flash memory.
According to Goke Microelectronics, the 311C-Y drive can read at 560MB/s, write at 480MB/s, and perform at 78K and 86K IOPS randomly, which is already a top-level performance among SATA 6Gbps SSDs.
Goke Microelectronics does not disclose the data life or P/E count of the 311C-Y drive, but the drive uses advanced management technology, supports domestic autonomous operating system, enables active alarms for drive life, online firmware push and upgrade.
The Goke Microelectronics 311C-Y series SSDs are expected to be available in June and the price has not been announced yet, but China-made SSDs should have a price advantage.
