Marvell Unveils Ultra‑Low‑Power PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD Controllers for Data Centers and Edge
Marvell has launched the industry’s most energy‑efficient PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD controller line, engineered to deliver lower power consumption and higher performance for next‑generation data centers and edge devices powering AI and 5G.
The portfolio—encompassing the 88SS1321, 88SS1322, and 88SS1323—represents the first PCIe Gen4 SSD controllers built on a 12 nm process, available in both DRAM and DRAM‑less configurations. Supported form factors include all current and emerging m.2 sizes (22110 to 2230), BGA, EDSFF, and U.2, making them ideal for cloud servers, enterprise boot drives, PC storage, gaming rigs, and industrial edge applications.
These controllers enable next‑generation 3D and QLC NAND, boosting cost efficiency and reducing total cost of ownership. The compact, DRAM‑less design allows a standalone controller and NAND array to share a single‑sided 2230 m.2 package, freeing space for battery packs versus larger 2280 modules. The result is superior performance over PCIe Gen 3 × 4 SSDs and lower power usage than eight‑channel NAND‑based controllers.
