Apacer recent milestones in SSD market history

In January 2009 - Apacer launched a miniature SLC flash SSD - the Mini SAFD 25M - which fits into 1/2 the footprint of a 2.5" SSD. Capacity ranges from 256MB to 16GB and R/W speed is 35MB/s and 25MB/s respectively. A shell is available for users who want to mount this in a 2.5" hard disk slot.

In March 2009 - Apacer launched the SAFD 254 range of SATA 2.5" SLC flash SSDs. Aimed at the industrial market, operating temperate is from -40°C to + 85°C. Capacity is from 8GB to 128GB. R/W speeds are 150MB/s and 130MB/s respectively. Internal S.M.A.R.T technology logs spare blocks and erase counts. ECC corrects upto 8 bit errors per 512 bytes. Power consumption is 400mA (active), 140mA (idle). Volume production starts in Q2 2009 - with antipicated prototype price of $900 for the 128GB model.

In June 2010 - Apacer started sampling its 1st SSDs which comply with JEDEC's spec MO-300 for mSATA SSD - which is about 75% smaller than a typical 2.5" SSD.

Apacer's miniature SATA Disk Module II M1 SLC SSD has R/W speeds upto 100MB/sec and capacities options from 4GB - 32GB - whereas the MLC version R/W speeds are upto 95MB/s and 50MB/s and MLC capacities are 2x greater. Both new SSD families include global wear leveling, S.M.A.R.T technology, 8-bit/15-bit ECC function and intelligent power failure recovery, and are processed compliant with MIL-STD-810F.
