streaming multiple HD videos, music, and photos,
content management, and many more
Security engine for encryption with hashing
functionality for enhanced security
Booting from HDD without Flash for the lower BOM
cost (support of Flash is optional)
Two integrated SATA3G/s ports with RAID0,
RAID1, and JBOD support in hardware
The digital lifestyle is going through major changes.
More and more people are self-creating, purchasing,
and downloading digital contant (video, photo, and
music) than any time before. This explosion of digital
content demands a fresh approach to consumer
content storage, security, and management.
We are now witnessing the third wave of the
consumer digital revolution. The first wave was the
introduction of the internet into the home. The second
wave was the mainstream adoption of handheld
mobile devices such as smart phones and MP3
players. The third wave is the demand of consumers
to access their content from anywhere, anytime, and
from any device securely and reliably. This requires
fresh thinking into consumer content storage.
This emerging environment presents new
challenges/opportunities to system designers, as these
new consumer devices must now evolve from a one-
dimensional model of a single user/application to a
sophisticated, multi-client model running
simultaneous applications.
Rich set of interfaces: 2xUSB2.0, UART, JTAG,
2xPCIe, and 2xRGMII
Supported file system: SMB, XFS, EXT3, and NTFS

Support of many third party application partners for
media serving, remote access, back-up, and media
content management
Long gone are the times that the conventional
“cranking up” of the processor clock could effectively
meet the new requirements and cost structure of the
consumer storage market. There are two orthogonal
requirements: on one hand, these new SoCs should
provide high performance in a multi-application and
user environment. At the same time, meet the cost
sensitive requirements of the consumer market. This
requires a new architectural approach.
