InnoDisk SATA II MLC SSDs Up to 256GB

InnoDisk Corporation announces a new generation 2.5" MLC SSD Wide Temp version, the EverGreen and the EverGreen Plus, for military, aerospace and vehicle applications.

InnoDisk EverGreen Series SSD is renowned for its performance and lifespan, whereas the applications are mostly in commercial storage market, such as POS, KIOSK and Thin Client systems. Now with the new EverGreen version ready, InnoDisk is expected to expand its MLC SSD product line to the military/aerospace and vehicle markets.

The industrial-grade MLC SSDs are mostly applied in POS, KIOSK, Automation and Thin Client system, which are for commercial use. Customers with higher standards looking for mission critical solutions are more likely to choose SLC SSD instead of MLC SSDs. SLC SSDs, though with better lifespan and endurance, cost a lot more than traditional MLC SSD. Hence, when companies are looking to replace HDD with SSD, they would choose the cost-effective MLC SSD rather than SLC SSD. However, traditional MLC SSD has three major technical shortages: short lifespan, low read/write speed, and high power consumption (15% higher than SLC SSD). To solve these problems becomes one of the issues of most storage manufacturers.

Ten Times Longer Lifespan & Better Performance
The EverGreen Series MLC SSD is InnoDisk’s solution to the above MLC dilemma. It is developed under an evolved firmware, L2 architecture. This firmware increases the lifespan for traditional MLC SSD. In comparison with other MLC SSDs, the EverGreen SSD will last 10 times longer. The EverGreen Plus Series have a 140 times more lifespan, that is 7 times longer lifespan than the traditional SLC SSD (in 4CH/16GB standards). They exceed the traditional SLC SSD by lower pricing and higher performance.

Wide Temp, High Quality for Extreme Conditions
In addition to the long lifespan, InnoDisk’s new EverGreen Series SSD carries the characteristics of reliability, stability and high endurance of industrial SSD products. The EverGreen Series can sustain in extreme environments (-40°C to +85°C); this feature makes it suitable for the systems or equipments with high demands in temperature. The EverGreen Series SSD also provides options for coating so as to meet the harsh condition like humidity. The EverGreen Plus Series SSD has built-in iCell technology, which combines firmware and hardware for better power supply. Evergreen Plus is able to keep writing data into flash from the DRAM buffer when abrupt power cut happens. In this case, InnoDisk’s new EverGreen Series guarantees no data loss, for even the most extreme rugged conditions.

"For POS, KIOSK, ATM, Automation systems, the storage data, in most of cases, are under 128KB," InnoDisk Product Manager, Karen Lin, says. "InnoDisk’s L2 firmware architecture is designed for these markets. With accurate algorithm to release data compression and transferring, EverGreen Series SSD is a technology breakthrough for its lifespan, which now is 10 times longer than any other MLC SSDs out there in the market. It also has excellent IOPS performance, which allows stable and continuous data transfer. The EverGreen Plus can even reach 2.1K IOPS."

InnoDisk has accumulated customer experiences for the EverGreen Series SSD . It has longer life span, high performance, and it is cost-effective; these values have exceeded the traditional MLC SSDs in terms of quality and pricing. InnoDisk provides 3 years warranty for EverGreen Series and 6 years for EverGreen Plus Series. The EverGreen Series SSDs have capacity from 16GB to 256GB.

The EverGreen and the EverGreen Plus are both available.
