Mtron Reveals Next Generation 260MB/S SSD Controller Technology

SEOUL, South Korea--(Business Wire)--
Mtron Storage Technology Co., Ltd. (KOSDAQ:046320), a manufacturer
of Solid State Drive (SSD) in South Korea, announced today that they
were going to reveal new 260MB/s SSD controller technology at 'World
IT Show 2008' and OECD Ministerial Meeting on the Future of the
Internet Economy in Seoul, Korea from June 18 to 20. Mtron also added
that they would launch new SSD products equipped with the new
controller technology in early 2009.

Improved from current 4-channel system with the maximum read/write
speed of 130/120MB/s, Mtron's next generation controller technology
provides an outstanding performance based on its 8-channel system with
the maximum read/write speed of 260/240MB/s (based on SLC) and random
write IOPS 8,000(4KB). It is twice faster than current controllers and
the fastest speed in the current SSD market by far.

Steve Jeon, CEO of Mtron, said, "This new controller provides not
only improved performance, but also it provides high stability and
reliability by minimizing errors and instability that a typical flash
memory chip has. Based on the superb technology from our 1st
generation controller, Mtron will lead the next generation controller
industry with the latest technology."

In addition to the announcement, Mtron uncovered their new SSD
products as well. The new Mtron's SSD products are Mtron SSD Express
Card, Mini PCI-E Card for mobile devices, and Mtron XTM 7500 for
highly specialized industries such as aviation, military, and medical.

Mtron SSD Express Card and Mini PCI-E Card deliver maximum
read/write speed of 110/65MB/s, run its own software for OS
installation and booting, and provide the best environment for the
system running. Based on Mtron's innovative technology, these new
products are not limited to the current HDD standard sizes, therefore
can be applied in various forms and sizes for different devices and
usage.

Mtron SSD XTM 7500 provides an excellent stability and performance
against extreme environment such as rapid temperature change from -45
degrees C to 90 degrees C. In May, this product proved its strong
protection against extreme temperature, shock, and vibration. It will
be available on the market in August.
