Silicon Motion Unveils Cutting-Edge PCIe Gen5 and USB4 SSD Solutions at Computex 2025
On May 15, 2025, Silicon Motion Technology Corporation, listed on Nasdaq under SIMO, showcased its innovative products at Computex 2025, a premier technology trade show. The company, recognized as a global leader in NAND flash controller design, revealed two significant advances in solid-state drive (SSD) technology: the
SM2504XT and the
SM2324. These products underline the company's commitment to high-performance, energy-efficient solutions tailored for next-generation applications.
Introducing the SM2504XT PCIe Gen5 Controller
The
SM2504XT is an ultra-low power PCIe Gen5 DRAM-less controller that promises to set new standards in performance per watt, achieving remarkable sequential read speeds of up to
11.5 GB/s and write speeds of
11.0 GB/s. This controller not only performs efficiently under a power envelope of
5W, but also achieves an
11% improvement in performance compared to its predecessor, highlighting Silicon Motion's focus on power efficiency.
Built on TSMC's advanced
6nm process, the SM2504XT supports PCIe Gen5 x4 and NVMe 2.0, making it the perfect choice for DRAM-less SSD configurations in AI-enhanced PCs, laptops, and gaming systems. Furthermore, the controller features a
Separate Command Address (SCA) architecture, which significantly reduces latency and accommodates the latest 3D TLC and QLC NAND technologies, thereby meeting the market's growing need for both affordability and high performance in SSD solutions.
Revolutionizing Portable Storage with the SM2324
In addition to the SM2504XT, Silicon Motion introduced the
SM2324, the world's first true single-chip portable SSD controller equipped with USB4 support and an integrated Power Delivery controller. With this innovative design, the SM2324 delivers impressive read and write speeds of up to
4,000 MB/s and can support storage capacities reaching
32TB. The single-chip architecture not only simplifies the design process but also reduces costs, facilitating quicker market entry for OEMs focused on developing compact, high-speed portable drives.
Nelson Duann, Senior VP of the Client Automotive Storage Business, remarked, "At Silicon Motion, we are committed to advancing SSD controller technologies that excel in both performance and power consumption. The SM2504XT sets a new benchmark for PCIe Gen5 client SSDs, while the SM2324 redefines portable storage through its fully integrated USB4 solution. Our innovations aim at assisting customers in creating faster, smaller, and more efficient SSDs for future applications.”
Comprehensive Product Lineup at Computex 2025
Beyond these groundbreaking controllers, Silicon Motion's presence at Computex 2025 also included a wide array of additional controller solutions aimed at various sectors like automotive technology, AI smartphones, enterprise SSDs for data centers, and high-performance display interfaces. These products are engineered to support a plethora of AI-driven applications that span from intelligent vehicles and edge devices to cloud infrastructure and advanced user experiences.
