| how to avoid hot pluggable
PCIe SSD failures |
Editor:- December 3, 2013 - What happens if you
test PCIe SSDs for
their sensitivity to data
corruption or even failure
- in the event of
sudden power
loss?
You'd think that with more hot pluggable products coming
into the market -especially in the
2.5" form factor
- that the experimental outcomes would be known by the designers and problems
debugged so that users wouldn't have to worry.
In
August 2013 Quarch Technology
launched some special
test equipment to inject power related faults into PCIe SSDs - and the
company today announced
it has extended this range to automate power line error testing of PCIe SFF
SSDs.
Andy Norrie,
Technical Director at Quarch Technology told me that "Almost every
combination of test kit we have tried in Quarch (a number of friendly customers
lent us kit and eval drives to get the new module up and running) has failed in
some way. Sometimes failing to come back up again nicely, sometimes with a full
BSOD which will almost
certainly have risked data loss." | | |
