SIMO

Silicon Motion Technology Corporation

A designer of the controllers that act as the "brains" inside solid-state drives (SSDs) and other flash storage, making the chips in laptops, desktop PCs and data centers work reliably. It began in Taiwan in 1995 as Feiya Technology and took the Silicon Motion name in 2002 after buying a California company of the same name. Its controllers are a hidden workhorse: you rarely see its name on a drive, but it has shipped billions of them to storage makers worldwide.
