Swissbit F-800 CFast Up to 64GB 6Gb SATA Industrial Flash Card With SLC-NAND

In response to the demand for robust boot drives and removable storage in the CFast form factor, Swissbit AG launched its F-800 product series.

Featuring quality SLC-NAND flash memory chips and the latest controller firmware, F-800 offers performance, durability, and reliability as memory for embedded systems and industrial applications. This includes high temperature tolerance and protection vs. data loss in case of power failure.

CFast has become a popular storage solution for embedded systems in industrial automation and motion control, POS/POI terminals, industrial PCs, transportation and medical technology thanks to the combination of SATA protocol and a CompactFlash form factor of 36.4×42.8×3.6mm.

“With the latest DRAM-less controller architecture, autonomous data care management and intelligent diagnostic extensions for predictive maintenance as well as guaranteed long-term availability, Swissbit F-800 is the perfect removable storage medium for demanding and durable industrial applications“, explains Roger Griesemer, GM, memory solutions, Swissbit.

The F-800 series is available in various capacities from 2GB to 64GB and is characterized by low power consumption and low heat gen. Firmware functions for active and passive data maintenance and the protection vs. data loss in the event of power failure ensure reliable data retention. Through the provision of detailed lifetime information, long maintenance cycles can be scheduled. F-800 is specified for an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Playing it safe thanks to controller and firmware
The combination of a DRAM-less flash memory controller and SLC NAND flash makes F-800 reliable from the outset. Firmware features provide additional security: Background Media Refresh, end-to-end data path protection, SRAM ECC, Subpage-based flash Translation Layer (FTL) and optional security features such as AES-128/256 encryption and TCG Opal. The performance of the CFast memory card, especially by low densities, opens up greater application opportunities: sequential data rates of up to 320MB/s in read and 168MB/s in write mode.

For use in less harsh environments, the F-800 is available in a version that specifies an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. The interface complies with 6Gb SATA and is backward compatible with SATA-II and SATA-I.
