Embedded World: Smart Modular Introduces N200 Line SATA SSD With TLC 3D NAND

Smart Modular Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Smart Global Holdings, Inc., announced the introduction of its N200 line of SATA products.

With burst speed and low power consumption, the N200 family is an economic option for NAS/SAN storage systems, x86 server-storage appliances, distributed scale-out servers, telecom and networking routers and switches, industrial control, printers and more.

Built with TLC 3D NAND technology, the N200 line of SATA products, consisting of the mSATA (MO-300), the M.2 2242 and 2280, the Slim SATA (MO-297), and the removable 2.5″ SSD form factors, delivers the advantages of economical, industrial-grade non-volatile memory to embedded computing applications. The N200 SATA products are offered in capacities ranging from 32GB to 1TB, depending on form factor, and are available in industrial and commercial temperatures.

N200 products offer R/W performance, suitable for applications that require lower drive capacity and utilize the drive for boot up code and OS code storage. The higher capacity drives are for transaction intensive applications such as x86 server-storage appliances, telecommunications and networking routers and switches, Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA) computer blades, single board computers for defense, gaming, industrial control applications and printers.

Victor Tsai, director, flash product, Smart Modular Technologies, said: “We believe SMART has come out with a highly competitive family of SSD products that can meet both the economic and performance needs in SATA products for our customers. The N200 family is the first product in what we see as a robust roadmap of new Flash products that our current and new customers are demanding.“

Other N200 features include advanced static and dynamic wear leveling, advanced error detection and correction circuitry for data reliability, self-monitoring analysis and reporting technology. The N200 also supports 48bit LBA (logical block addressing) with a larger maximum transfer size.

The company was showcased its line of N200 SATA products at Embedded World Exhibition and Conference 2019 from February 26-28 at the Nuremberg Convention Center in Germany.
