TestShell Solutions for SSD

SSD Testing Challenges

Consumer demand for products with higher performance and yet minimal physical size has accelerated the need for minimizing hard drivers. As a result, competition among SSD manufacturers is increasing, as is the demand for high quality products compatible with the requirements of multiple retailers.

Benchmark testing for performance and regression assurance is a serious challenge for flash memory manufacturers. SSD vendors must invest considerable efforts, time and human resources to perform tests prior to product release.
