Storage just got smaller—and a whole lot faster. Silicon Motion’s new FerriSSD® PCIe Gen4 NVMe BGA SSD delivers blazing-fast performance in a compact package designed for embedded and industrial systems where size and reliability matter just as much as speed.
Built around the PCIe Gen4 x2 NVMe 1.4 interface, this single-chip SSD offers up to 4,000 MB/s sequential read speeds and supports capacities from 64GB to 1TB, making it a powerful option for next-gen applications in edge computing, industrial automation, robotics, and medical devices.
Big Performance, Tiny Footprint
Housed in a space-saving BGA form factor (11.5 x 13 mm), the FerriSSD is a perfect fit for designs where PCB real estate is at a premium. Unlike traditional SSDs that require a controller plus external NAND, this all-in-one device integrates Silicon Motion’s controller, firmware, and 3D TLC NAND flash into a single package.
That means fewer design complexities, faster time to market, and better mechanical robustness—ideal for rugged edge environments or fanless systems.
Industrial-Grade Reliability
While speed is a headline feature, what makes FerriSSD stand out is its industrial-grade endurance and thermal resilience. Designed to operate in wide temperature ranges from –40°C to 85°C, the device includes advanced thermal throttling and heat spreader options to maintain consistent performance under heavy workloads.
To protect data integrity and extend lifespan, the FerriSSD features:
-
LDPC ECC and RAID protection
-
End-to-End Data Path Protection
-
Dynamic & Static Wear Leveling
-
Intelligent Read Refresh
It’s storage you can count on—even when things get hot, dirty, or unpredictable.
Security and Customization Options
Security is built in, with optional AES 256-bit encryption, TCG Opal, and secure boot support. For OEMs and system designers, Silicon Motion offers firmware customization and a robust SMI Toolbox for monitoring, diagnostics, and fine-tuning performance based on application requirements.
Ideal Use Cases
The FerriSSD PCIe Gen4 is a versatile solution for:
-
AI edge devices with high-speed data needs
-
Medical imaging systems that require compact, secure storage
-
Robotics and automation where ruggedness and endurance are key
-
Thin-client and mobile platforms where power efficiency and space are limited
Final Thought
Silicon Motion’s FerriSSD NVMe Gen4 BGA SSD proves that high-speed storage doesn’t need to come in a big box. With a clever integration of controller, NAND, and firmware, this tiny powerhouse delivers the speed of PCIe Gen4 with the reliability and flexibility embedded designers demand.
For engineers pushing the limits of what small systems can do, FerriSSD may be the storage solution you’ve been waiting for.
