Lite-On's next generation EP series, the EP2 M.2 with NVMe protocol, will be presented at Flash Memory Summit 2015 in Santa Clara, California. The EP2 series enables systems to process large amounts of data-intensive applications. By combining the NVMe protocol with Lite-On’s customized firmware, commands are bypassed and subsequently, result in improvement for multiple queues and higher queue depths. The CPU is also used to its full potential, so that the IOPS will not be bottlenecked by single core limitations.

The EP2 series delivers high speed with random read and write performance of up to 250K IOPS/25K IOPS. With ultra-low latencies of 35/35 (µs), the EP2 ensures a consistent command response time. The EP2 also features power loss protection (PLP), scalability, end-to-end data protection, low power consumption, high endurance, sustained performance, and customized firmware, which supports mixed-use environments and application workloads such as online transaction processing (OLTP), financial transactions, E-commerce, SQL logging, collaboration and email servers.

Lite-On will also be showcasing its new ER1 and EM1 SATA SSDs. Designed to address the capacity and performance needs of hyperscale computing, virtualized data centers, and I/O server operations, both the ER1 and EM1 doubles the maximum capacity of its read intensive drive of up to 4TB ––one of the largest capacity of SATA solutions in the marketplace–– in two compact form factor sizes, 1.8" and 2.5."

The Flash Memory Summit will be held at the Santa Clara Convention Center from August 11-13, 2015
