Marvell has released the Marvell 88SS1320 series SSD controller which is the industry’s lowest power PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD controller portfolio. It includes the Marvell 88SS1321, Marvell 88SS1322, and Marvell 88SS1323. We will show more information about them in the following part.
Marvell Releases the 88SS1320 Series SSD Controllers
Marvell is a leading manufacturer of the disk drive controller around the world. It is designed to provide good performance solutions to the SSDs. Marvell delivers SSD controllers including the system-on-chip, board design and firmware. In addition, you can also take advantage of MiniTool Software to manage your disk and computer well.
At recently, Marvell has released the industry’s lowest power PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD controllers and they are Marvell 88SS1320 series SSD controllers including the Marvell 88SS1321, Marvell 88SS1322, and the Marvell 88SS1323. They represent the industry’s first PCIe Gen 4 DRAM and DRAM-less SSD controllers to be made on a 12mm process.

These Marvell 88SS1320 series SSD controllers come in four different interfaces covering PCIe Gen 4×4, Gen 4×2, Gen 3×4 and Gen 3×2. Because these Marvell 88SS1320 SSD controllers can support all existing and emerging M.2(2210 to 2230), BGA, EDSFF and U.2 form factors, they would be an ideal choice for Cloud data center server compute storage, enterprise boot drives, PC client storage and gaming storages as well as some emerging industrial and edge device applications.
The DDR controller for these Marvell 88SS1320 series SSD controllers is different. As for the Marvell 88SS1321 controller, its DDR controller is the LPDDR3 or LPDDR4, while the others are DRAMless
The Marvell 88SS1320 series SSD controllers come in the NVMe Standard Revision 1.3c compliance, supporting host memory buffer option.
With these features, the Marvell 88SS1320 series SSD controllers provide good performance. As for Marvell 88SS1321 and Marvell 88SS1322, their transfer speed can reach up to 3.9GB/s. However, as to the Marvell 88SS1323, its transfer speed can reach up to 3.5GB/s. Hence, it enables users to transfer files quickly.
In addition, this Marvell 88SS1320 serial SSD controller also can provide good protection for data. It provides three different data protection including the end-to-end data protection, OTP support for secure drive configuration, and AES encryption hardware. So these Marvell SSD controllers enable to provide good reliability.
What’s more, this new Marvell 88SS1320 series SSD controller enables the next generation 3D and QLC NAND devices that maximize cost efficiency and reduce total cost of ownership. It supports the stand-alone SSD controller and NAND unit being mounted side-by-side on a single-sides ultra-compact M.2 2230 form factor SSD due to its ultra-compact DRAM-less controller architecture.
On the other hand, the SSD with Marvell 88SS1320 series SSD controllers can provide better performance than the Gen 3×4 SSDs and consumes less power than the eight NAND channel controller-based SSD.
The Marvell 88SS1320 serial SSD controllers support four ONFI and TOGGLE NAND channels, operating at up to 1200MT/s to enable high capacity, high throughput and low latency storage over a wide range of use cases.
And these Marvell 88SS1320 serial SSD controllers will be available in this month. If someone needs an SSD controller, maybe he can consider this one. And for more detailed specifications, you can visit its official website.
Final Words
To sum up, Marvell has introduced three SSD controller in this post which are Marvell 88SS1321 controller, Marvell 88SS1322 controller, and the Marvell 88SS1323 controllers. And all of these Marvell 88SS1320 series SSD controllers can provide fast transfer speed.
