Adata: IUSP33F PCIe BGA SSD Up to 256GB With PCIe Gen3x2 Interface and 3D Flash Memory

Adata Technology Co Ltd. launched the IUSP33F PCIe ball grid array (BGA) SSD.

This SSD sports a form factor that is 80% more compact than M.2 2242 SSDs. Combined with a PCIe Gen3x2 interface and 3D flash memory for performance and durability, the IUSP33F is a solution for slim-form-factor tablets, notebooks, hybrids, mini-PCs, thin clients, and wearables.

“We are thrilled to be introducing the new IUSP33F SSD, a compact solution that will enable next-generation tablets, ultra-books, and other slim devices, but without compromising on performance and reliability,” said Hedi Huang, sales director, Adata. “But the versatility of the IUSP33F goes beyond just these applications, and are also well-suited for new emerging applications in areas such as robotics, augmented and virtual reality, and automotive.“

Small profile for slim devices
With the growing prevalence of 3D flash and advancements in manufacturing, SSDs are becoming ever more lightweight and compact, and the IUSP33F is a result of these developments. Thanks to its 11.5x13mm BGA package and NAND flash, it sports a profile that is comparable to that of eMMC memory. The reduced profile of the IUSP33F makes it suitable for slim devices where space is at a premium.

Performance, lower power consumption
The IUSP33F may be small in size but is by no means lacking in performance. It uses a PCIe Gen3x2 interface that conforms to the NVMe 1.3 standard, allowing it to achieve up to 1,195MB/s read and 940MB/s write as well as random read and write IO/s of 140,000 and 114,000 respectively.

It also supports Host Memory Buffer to maintain performance without integrated DRAM by using host memory for flash management purposes, while at the same time reducing power consumption. In addition, the IUSP33F leverages 3D flash memory to provide storage capacities of 128 and 256GB.

Longer lifespan, lower maintenance costs
The IUSP33F supports LDPC and SRAM error correcting code technology to detect and fix a wider range of data errors for more reliable data transfers and a longer product lifespan. E2E Data Protection defends it from damage or inconsistent data to minimize downtime and reduce maintenance costs.

Tested for reliability
Every component on the IUSP33F has undergone screening and testing via its proprietary SSD verification process. The process includes functionality and reliability testing to ensure customers receive a quality storage product that offers performance and durability.
