Western Digital Solid State Storage WD SiliconDrive N1x This is the 4th generation of SiliconDrives. They are 2.5" 128GB SATA SLC SSDs - for high reliability 24/7 embedded markets and R/W speeds are upto 240MB/s and 140MB/s respectively. Write endurance is quoted as 701GB/Day - compatible with 5 year limited warranty. And data integrity (non-recoverable error rate) is better than 1 in 1015 bits read.

"The WD SiliconDrive N1x SSDs are the newest addition to our SiliconDrive product family, which has shipped several million units since the 1st products were introduced (in 2004). SiliconDrive SSDs have consistently met critical OEM application requirements for high reliability, high performance and long product deployment cycles," said Michael Hajeck, senior VP and general manager of WD's solid state storage business unit - when the WD SiliconDrive N1x products were launched in March 2010.

The WD SiliconDrive N1x SSDs feature patented and patent-pending WD technologies combined with NCQ and Windows 7 TRIM command support for high data integrity, long product life and sustained performance levels throughout the drive's service life without the need for an external refresh utility, media over-provisioning or forced idle times used by many SSDs available today.
