I don't understand why pushing 16gb/s requires so much power. A fully custom ic where the data path is in silicon should be able to handle that speed no sweat.

- wtallis 3y agoSSD controllers aren't just moving a lot of data. Between the PCIe PHY and the ONFI PHY there's a lot of other functionality. In particular, doing LDPC decoding at 16GB/s (128Gb/s) is not trivial.
