Cactus Launches Rugged
Reliable CF PATA SSD
Editor:- January 25, 2010 - Cactus Technologies
today launched a rugged
32GByte industrial grade
CF form factor PATA
compatible SLC flash SSD.
The 303 Series offers high
endurance (>2M
write cycles per block),
wear leveling,
defect management and 4M hours
MTBF.
Sai-Ying Ng, President of Cactus Technologies Ltd. stated, "Our
customers were demanding a 32GByte Industrial Grade card that would function in
their existing CompactFlash sockets. By increasing the height slightly to 6.4mm
we are able to accommodate these requirements, while maintaining the Industrial
Grade features of our 303 Series most important to our customers."
WEDC Launches Secure PATA SSD in PBGA
Editor:-
January 18, 2010 - White
Electronic Designs has
introduced a
4GB secure PATA SLC
SSD in a 22mm x 27mm
PBGA for embedded military applications.
This product is designed for
applications in aircraft, communications and missiles. A hardware and software
triggered fast purge
can eliminate all data in less than 10 seconds and device options include
sanitization
compliant with various government agency specifications.
PhotoFast Unveils Fast 1.8" PATA SSDs
Editor:-
November 16, 2009 - PhotoFast
today unveiled a new range of 1.8"
native PATA MLC regular
flash SSDs with internal garbage
collection -the
G-monster-1.8"
IDE V4.
Capacity options include:- 32/64/128/256G. Internal cache
is 64MB, R/W speeds are upto 128MB/s and 90MB/s respectively.
PhotoFast
says that its internal hardware garbage collection makes the SSD especially
suited to traditional OS's which don't have TRIM such as XP. The drive
rearranges itself when the laptop is in idle time. The benefits might not shine
through in server style
benchmarks (which
assume 100% duty cycles) but for real life notebook usage it should work
adequately.
Global Unichip takes SSD SoC HeadCount to 23
Editor:-
November 2, 2009 - Global Unichip
announced mass-production of its
ARM7-based
GP5080
series PATA / SATA compatible
SSD SoC platform for
use in portable consumer products.
There are 2 different models.
GP5080 is optimized for cost sensitive applications by removing the need for
external DRAM cache (skinny SSDs),
while GP5086 supports DRAM cache for (regular SSD)
applications needing extra extended lifetime (write attenuation).
pureSilicon Unveils New Military SSDs
Editor:-
October 26, 2009 - pureSilicon
says it will start shipping its Renegade R2 Series 2.5" SATA SLC flash
SSDs later this week.
Sequential R/W speeds are 255MB/s and 180MB/s
respectively. IOPS performance is:- 18,000 IOPS random read: (4K) and 1,200
IOPS random write.
The drives are available immediately in a wide range of densities
(4GB, 8GB, 16 GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB) in a low profile (9.5mm height)
2.5" form factor
and -40°C to +85°C operating temperature.
256GB, PATA,
1.8", and encryption
versions will start shipping in Q1 2010.
"pureSilicon is dedicated to providing high-performance, rugged
storage solutions to the defense, military, industrial, and government markets,"
said Jason Breakstone, founder and CEO of pureSilicon. "While many SSD
manufacturers are focusing their efforts on the mass consumer markets,
pureSilicon is committed to designing and delivering technologies that will
provide significant benefits to our customers such as full-disk encryption and
data declassification
methods. Renegade R2 is designed to operate in the harshest conditions."
pureSilicon says the specs it publishes are "steady-state
performance" results. These are achieved by performing proper
preconditioning, which prepares the drive for real-world usage scenarios and
yields realistic performance benchmarks. Other SSD manufacturers claim 'clean'
(new) drive performance specifications on a new drive, and users should expect
to see performance
reductions in real world use as a clean drive settles into its stabilized
(steady) state — once the drive is nearing capacity and is consistently
performing garbage
collection, wear leveling, and bad-block management.
WEDC Launches Rugged Miniature SSD
Editor:- May
26, 2009 - today White
Electronic Designs introduced a surface mount miniature
PATA SLC SSD (22mm x
27mm PBGA) with 1, 2 and 4GB densities for use in high reliability
embedded applications such as aircraft, communications and missiles.
"These
products were engineered specifically for the defense market, with features
designed to ensure data reliability in mission critical rugged and mobile
systems. As a natural extension of our MCP and SiP technologies, these devices
bring big features in a miniaturized package," stated Mark Downey, Director
of Defense Technology. "This is really just the beginning of more to come
from us in the storage area. We are listening to what our defense customers want
from a solid state storage provider and plan to deliver on those requirements
with commitment and focus." Military & Rugged
