SandForce SF-2200 & 2100
  • Second-generation Flash Storage Processor (FSP) with enterprise-class features for cost-sensitive client environments
  • Award winning performance for client applications
  • Complete solution from ASIC, firmware, turnkey reference designs, tools, and documentation to support
SF-2200 & SF-2100Enlarge this
The LSI® SandForce® SF-2200 and SF-2100 - the second generation of LSI SandForce Flash Storage Processors
(FSPs) - are an ideal solution for client storage applications where power consumption, boot time, application
performance, responsiveness, and small form factor are important. These solution integrate the LSI DuraClass™
technology to leverage today's densest SLC and MLC NAND flash memory. They deliver best-in-class performance,
endurance, security, and power efficiency in a DRAM-less, single chip solution.

Features

  • SATA 6 Gb/s with NCQ up to 32 commands
  • Supports the latest 19 nm, 20 nm-class, and 30 nm-class SLC and MLC flash memory with Asych/Toggle/ONFi2 interfaces
  • High integration supports up to 512 GB* on a 2.5” or 1.8” drive
  • Best-in-class, consistent read and write performance (up to 500 MB/s, 20 K IOPS) for client applications
  • Automatic encryption (AES-128**), password at the drive level and optional TCG OPAL ensures secure data protection
  • DuraClass technology provides best-in-class endurance, performance, and low power
  • Optimized single-chip eliminates need for external memory saving cost, power and space
  • Power balancing optimizes energy consumption (number of active flash devices) vs. performance
  • Ultra-low power mode and DevSleep support to maximize battery life
  • RAISE™ provides RAID-like protection for single SSD client systems
  • Highly intelligent block management and wear leveling optimizes SSD longevity
  • Complete solution from ASIC, firmware, turnkey reference designs, tools, and documentation to support

Benefits

  • An ideal solution for portable storage applications where power consumption, boot-up time, application performance, responsiveness, and small form factor are important
  • Extended overall endurance and reliability of the complete SSD
  • Single-chip, DRAM-less design enabling the smallest form factors
  • Best-in-class read and write performance; no performance bottleneck
  • Enterprise-class reliability and endurance
  • Extra level of data security assurance
  • Fast time-to-market solution
*1GB = 1 billion bytes
**AES-256 support will be added in the future. Please contact your SSD manufacturer or LSI representative for specific availability information.
