Innodisk M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen32 3ME2 MLC SSD

PCIe Gen3 is moving into the industrial and embedded market.

With the demand for higher data transfer speeds, Innodisk Corporation is launching its M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen32 3ME2 MLC SSD; available in different form factors that withstand temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C, as well as speeds up to three times faster than the average SATA device.

The AIoT markets are characterized by a need for compactness to save space, data integrity and robustness to handle the various rough conditions of the device locations. Tight spaces can also create high temperatures and heat dissipation issues.

This company’s M.2 module handles these issues. Compared to other modules of similar specifications, this PCIe SSD 3ME2 brings out easier heat dissipation by lowering power consumption by 50%. The SSD comes in both 280 and 2242 form factors, and through its industrial-oriented design, data integrity is handled through LDPC error correction and end-to-end data path protection (ETEP).

Furthermore, the SSD uses pure MLC flash with no SLC cache to avoid the inevitable speed drop as the cache fills up. Avoiding this problem altogether, the original MLC flash will continue to deliver stable and high speeds over the course of its lifetime.

C. C. Wu, VP, Innodisk, points out that the firm is taking the lead position in the market by providing this integrated solution. This PCIe SSD 3ME2 is available in high-capacity selections; meanwhile, the company’s cloud management platform, iCAP, offers customizable functions and can be integrated into a number of multi-layered edge computing devices such as sensors, gateway, and hubs. Aiming at the future multi-level edge computing architecture, Innodisk provides a complete intelligent IoT boost.
