Traditional rotating HDDs come in standard 3.5", 2.5", and 1.8" form factors, but there has been a growing demand for more cost-effective, alternate form factor designs that are optimally addressed by LSI® SandForce® single-chip Flash Storage Processors (FSPs).
The round magnetic platters of HDDs required certain form factors, but now storage media that is based on flash memory chips enables more flexibility for new layouts. Typical form factors include PCIe cards and the new MO-297, in addition to completely custom designs that can be miniaturized using the unique SandForce DRAM-less solution.
