VIA Introduces The VL750 USB 3.0 to NAND Flash Controller
VIA Labs today announced its latest USB 3.0 product, the VIA Labs VL750 Super-Speed USB to NAND flash controller, a single-chip solution for the next generation of USB flash drives. The VIA Labs VL750 is the first of its kind in the world, featuring a 4-channel memory controller with interleaving support to offer consumers blisteringly fast data transfer speeds of 100MB/s or more, depending on configuration. This is great news for consumers as it gives manufactures another choice on the market and helps keeps other companies price competitive. SuperSpeed USB 3.0 device prices have been falling in recent months and that trend will continue now that more systems with USB 3.0 are shipping and devices are starting to take off. If you have never used USB 3.0 before you should ask your local PC store if they could demo one for you.
The VIA Labs VL750s four channel design dramatically improves data throughput over dual or single channel designs by offering more bandwidth and improved parallelization. VIA Labs is ahead of the pack by some distance when it comes to offering a complete USB 3.0 eco-system that now includes host, hub and NAND flash controller products, said David Hsu, Associate Vice President, VIA Labs, Inc. The VIA Labs VL750 will pave the way for fast, affordable, and large capacity flash drives of 32GB or more. Large files will become infinitely more manageable with most transfers completing in just a few seconds.
