Marvell, Kingston Collaboration Proves Positive with Over Six Million SSD Units Shipped

August
9,
2017 –  Kingston,
the independent world leader in memory products, today announced over 6 million
SSD units between the Kingston
and HyperX
lines have shipped worldwide featuring Marvell controllers. The feat was accomplished
in just over two years as the HyperX
Predator PCIe SSD in February 2015 was the company’s first
SSD to ship utilizing a Marvell controller. Marvell’s 88SS9293 controller
provides lightning fast, next generation SSD performance making HyperX Predator
PCIe SSD a must have for system-builders and enthusiasts.

Wanting
to offer users of all levels the benefits of high performance from an SSD,
Kingston released UV400,
powered by Marvell’s 88SS1074
four-channel controller in May of 2016. As the product range evolves later this year, Kingston
will launch the UV500 series, its first 3D NAND-enabled SSD utilizing Marvell’s
newest 88SS1074 full turnkey (FTK) solution. UV500 will be available in 2.5”, M.2 and mSATA form factors
providing solutions for any consumer and system builder SSD needs. It is
designed for mainstream client use but also has 256-bit AES encryption and TCG
Opal 2.0 enabled for enterprise users as well.

“Marvell is proud of the success in our collaboration
with Kingston, and is excited to be extending it with our first in-house
developed FTK solution on our 88SS1074 controller,” said Nigel
Alvares, VP of SSD & Enterprise Storage
Marketing,
Storage Group, Marvell. “Kingston’s
UV500 will be able to offer industry-leading 3D NAND performance, endurance,
data integrity and reliability using our third generation of NANDEdge™
technology, the industry’s most advanced low-density parity check (LDPC) error
correction platform available, and integrated in all of our latest SATA, SAS
and PCIe controllers.”

“We
are happy with the work we’ve achieved with the Marvell team to deliver higher
performance and quality products to our customers; and, to have reached such a
mark like 6 million SSDs shipped in such a short time,” said Kingston. “We’re
looking to keep that ‘units shipped’ number growing with this next generation
drive series utilizing 3D NAND and Marvell’s full turnkey solution. UV500 will
deliver excellent performance and reliability for both consumer and system
builder users.”
