Apacer With Two 6Gb SATA Slim SSDs

Apacer Technology Inc. launched two slim SSDs: JEDEC MO-297-compliant SFD 18S6 and MO-300-compliant mSATA A1.

mSATA A1

The small size equipped with SATA 3.0 transmission interface, along with the products’ features of low power consumption, durability and performance, will become a storage solution for the rise of the mobility devices. It can be applied to medical tablet PCs, bedside healthcare, mobile on-board unit and data communication system devices.

Adopting SATA 3.0 high-speed transmission interface and equipped with 1x nm Toggle DDR 2.0 NAND flash chips, The SFD 18S6 and mSATA A1 SSDs boast the maximum sequential R/W speed of 470/470MB/sec and IO/s up to 70K, with SLC solution.

They are capable of supporting the operation in stringent environment, like wide-temp (-40°C~85°C) operation.

To balance performance with cost, the MLC solution is another option for application, with a maximum sequential R/W speed of 475/430MB/sec and IO/s up to 65K, both of which are available in capacity up to 256GB.

As to power consumption, “Industrial mobility devices shall deliver strong endurance, to satisfy the portability requirement. As a result, the product design shall be based on the power saving of all components,” suggested Jeff Lin, senior embedded business unit director, Apacer.

These two products adopt solutions with process technology, so the power consumption during idle mode is reduced by more than 50%, compared with their predecessor. Supporting DEVSLP (Device Sleep) signaling protocol, they can enter the low power state while in standby, saving power.

Besides, as to data safety, the products launched this time both feature the 40bit ECC function and support the company SSD Widget real-time SSD monitoring software, and CoreSecurity technology, all of which help boost the product reliability and stability. In addition, the products can be customized to meet the coating need for IP57 certified water-proof and dust-proof.
