SEONGNAM, Gyeonggi Province ― While the technological landscape in storage applications is rapidly shifting to solid-state storage drives (SSDs) from traditional hard disk drives due to power consumption and data processing speed, global flash chip manufacturers such as Samsung Electronics, Hynix Semiconductor, Intel and Toshiba have been massively injecting capital into next-generation storage applications.

Although prices have been regarded as a major drawback hampering the early domination of the advanced device, manufacturers of SSD controllers such as MTRON are drawing attention as compatibility between NAND flash chips and controllers is the key to easing concerns
