High capacity and high-performance SSDs are starting to pop up every which way in the enterprise segment and competition is getting heated. Thanks to PMC with their latest Flashtec NVMe controllers, third party SSD vendors are able to develop these high capacity, high performance devices faster than ever with features catered to their target buyers. Techman SSD, a new company, is one of the latest SSD manufacturers to jump in the game and has decided to go big or go home by utilizing PMC's 16-channel Flashtec NVMe controller for their XC100 SSD.

Reading through their marketing material it seems like they understand exactly what the enterprise segment demands. Designed and built for cloud high speed computing, big data analysis, financial/academic research, OLTP, and IoT applications, the XC100 comes in capacities up to 3.2TB and can deliver impressive sequential speeds of up to 3.2GB/s and random 4KB speeds of up to 750K IOPS. Although this is impressive in its own right, it isn't all about jaw dropping specification numbers alone, Techman stresses the importance of performance consistency, data integrity, and security as well.
