Marvel Da Vinci 88SS8014-BHP2 Controller ( Sata II - 3Gb/s ). Here is a BenchMarkReviews review on this controller.
Marvell 88NV9145 ( Sata3 ? 6Gb/s ). This Marvell Controller is used in OCZ new range of Z5 PCIe ssd drives. This controller is also used in OCZ's Vertex 4 and Agility 4 as of info sourced july 4, 2012.
Marvell's 88SS9032-BLN2 ( Sata 3 ? 6Gb/s ) enterprise grade SSD processor. - Released on the Toshiba MKx001GRZB Enterprise SSD designed around a SAS interface.
Marvell 88SS9174-BJP2 ( Sata III - 6Gb/s ) This controller is used on the Crucial Real SSD. BenchMarkReviews.review. Overall, one of, if not the fastest desktop ssd controller released, especially when used with a 6GB/s controller, latest firmware, improvements to power consumption, better GC and Trim performance, Data integrity and reduced write latency, the drive activity has also been activated, have vastly improved the C300 drives. This controller as 8 pipelines.
Marvell 88SS9174 ?BKK2 ( sata III ? 6Gb/s ).
This updated controller is to be used in the RealSSDC400, it is huge update and as far better performance figures than it?s predecessor, the BJP2 on the C300. This controller is also used on the Intel 501, but due to using Intel firmware, it is optimized for movement of large compressed files rather than use with a OS. This controller is also used on Corsair P3 and the Plextor M2 ssd drives.
Marvell 88SS9174-BLD2 ( sata III - 6Gb/s ).
Has mentioned previously, this is a slight revision on the BKK2 silicone that was released on the Intel 501, Corsair P3 and the Plextor M2 ssd drives, as so far only been released on the Marvell C400 enterprise drive and the Crucial M4 client drive. There is a review on this particular silicone at BenchMarkReviews. This controller as the same 8 channels as the previous two versions of the 9174 controller.
Marvell 88SS9175-BJM2 ( sata3 ? 6Gb/s ).
Similar controller to the 9174 but consumes less power and as only 4 data channels ( pipelines ) compared to the 9174 with eight data channels (pipelines), this controller is used on the SanDisk Ultra Plus Client drive, the controller as similar sequential speeds but overall performance suffers due to the lower number of pipelines.
Marvell 88SS9187 ( sata3 - 6Gb/s ).
Marvell?s latest controller, so far aimed at the the Ultrabook/Enterprise/Mobile Market, boasts sequential write speeds of 500MB/s, even in dirty drive conditions, Adaptive read and write schemes, as in build raid capabilities and is capable of using up to 1gb ddr3 memory for the buffer. This controller could be used with forthcoming Crucial Client ssd update.
Plextor M5 Pro series ( Sata III 6Gb/s ) ? Marvell 88SS9187-BLD2 Controller ? Read 540 write speeds vary depending on the size of the drive, the 512gb and 256gb drives have write speeds of 440, the 125gb/340, the 64gb/90, usual support for GC and Trim in Win7. The buffer size may vary similar to the M5S which varies with 256mb of ddr3 for the 128gb drive to 768mb for the larger 512gb drive. Capacities of 128gb, 256gb and 512gb of Toshiba TH58TE68D2JBA8C 19nm toggle nand flash memory. Website and reviews at Tweaktown.
Plextor M5Pro Extreme series ( Sata III 6Gb/s ) ? Marvell 88SS9187 ? BLD2 Controller ? Seq Read 540 Seq write varies depending on capacity, 128gb at 340, the two larger capacities at 450, the cache buffer consists of one x 256mb chip ( 128gb drive ), two x 256mb chips ( 256gb drive ) and 3 x 256mb chips ( 512gb drive ) of ddr3 ram. Supports for GC and Trim in w7. The memory used on this series of drives is the Toshiba TH58TEG7DDJTA20 19nm Toggle-Mode MLC NAND memory. Website and Review at TheSSDReview. Identical in build to the Pro, testing at the TheSSDReview shows slight improvement over the Pro.
