The DuraDrive series utilized SSD technology, meaning it performs faster, use less power, offers greater reliability, shock and vibration than their HDD counterparts. By selecting the finest components available, including an industrial controller and NAND flash, the company was able to enhance the temperature specifications making the DuraDrive for mission critical and embedded applications.

The DuraDrive line also has optional support for the Secure Erase features required for many Military and Industrial applications.
