  • editor's comments:- in February 2009 - Viking Modular Solutions launched the ArxCis-NV - an SSD based backup for RAID controller cache. When the external logic power rail drops - internal Supercapacitors sustain power inside the module long enough (typically 10 to 15 seconds) to save the cache contents to an SLC SSD.

    In March 2009 - Viking Modular Solutions launched the SATA Cube - a flash SSD which provides upto 256GB capacity in a small 30x32mm footprint. Sustained R/W speeds are 110MB/s and 79MB/s respectively. It's available as a BGA device or with a MicroSATA connector.
