Paragon UFSD 9.0 Embedded for Smart TV

Paragon Software Group (PSG) announces the Paragon UFSD 9.0 Embedded, a technology to ensure data security when removing external storage devices from Smart TVs.

Based on the performing Universal File System Driver (UFSD) technology, UFSD 9.0 Embedded guarantees fast, highest-quality playback and recording of HD video content to or from Smart TV devices of any platform.

Users of embedded systems such as routers, media players, smartphones, tablets or NAS devices want to be free to disable removable media quickly and without having to take further actions – like clicking on the ‘safely remove hardware’ icon, while also ensuring that the data is safe. In embedded systems there are often no built-in ‘safe removal’ functions available. Paragon’s solution to this problem is the ‘Standby mode’ option that allows users in a matter of seconds to disconnect the external storage device, at the same time guaranteeing data safety.

In addition to safety, recording speeds are necessary for the ability to transfer HD-quality data to external storage media. To ensure the maximum recording speed, Linux Kernel utilizes ‘deferred’ or ‘postponed’ recording, writing and recording multiple changes in a single write operation to a disk or flash drive, which requires much more time than changing the data in RAM – therefore cached write operations sometimes require more than 30 seconds to get user data to the storage safely.

UFSD 9.0 Embedded facilitates safe, consistent flushing of all modified structures of the file system and user data to the disk in less than 10 seconds, allowing users to remove their storage media without worrying about file system integrity.

UFSD 9.0 Embedded line for Smart TVs includes Paragon exFAT 9.0 Embedded, Paragon HFS+ 9.0 Embedded and Paragon NTFS Embedded with driver solutions for NTFS / HFS + / exFAT for Linux / Android systems.
