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.
In May
2012 -
Apacer
launched a new
small (50.8 x 29.8mm)
mSATA SSD aimed at the
Ultrabook
market with upto 256GB (MLC) capacity and R/W speed upto 470/200MB/s and 50K
IOPS.

resistant industrial mSATA 3 SSDs |
Editor:- April 10, 2014 - With the launch of 2
new devices which are now sampling - Apacer has added
SATA 3 performance
capabilities and
DEVSLP
power frugality to its range of
mSATA SSDs
which are aimed at the
industrial SSD
market - and can be custom coated to meet
IP57 water-proofing and
dust-proofing.
Apacer's new SSDs - the mSATA A1 and SFD 18S6 -
(available in
MO-300
or
MO-297
form factors respectively) use 1x nm toggle DDR 2.0 NAND flash and are
available in either SLC or MLC versions The MLC models have 475/430MB/sec R/W
and upto 65K IOPS and capacity upto 256GB. | | |

"People look at retail
ads for microSD cards and see a 4GB card for ~$5, whereas an industrial grade
part is many times that amount.
"Many, younger designers (and
some older ones too) think you are trying to pull a fast one on them because
the parts look identical and function in the same socket." |
Steve Larrivee,
Cactus Technologies
in reply to a question about SSD education - and the differences between SLC
and MLC for embedded industrial SSD projects - (April 8, 2014)
