ATP A600Sc Series SATA SSDs Qualified for Compatibility and Interoperability With Microchip Tri-Mode Storage Adapters

ATP Electronics, Inc. announced that its A600Sc Series SATA SSDs have been qualified for compatibility and interoperability with Adaptec Smart Storage PCIe Gen 4 Tri-Mode SmartRAID-3200, SmartHBA 2200, and HBA 1200 smart storage adapters.

Designed for storage platforms in next-gen data centers, the Adaptec PCIe Gen 4 SAS/SATA/NVMe HBA and RAID tri-mode adapters deliver higher performance through PCIe Gen 4 x16 CPU interfaces as well as SAS and SATA storage. The new offerings simplify integration and provide flexibility to aggregate diverse storage devices with Microchip’s security and manageability features for the demanding server storage applications.

“Microchip’s latest gen of Adaptec NVMe and 24G SAS Tri-mode RAID and HBA storage adapters now support the full range of NVMe, SAS and SATA connectivity, enabling customers to hit their desired cost and performance targets with the security and ease of management necessary for PCIe Gen 4-based server deployments,” said Jay Bennett, associate director, product management fdata center solutions business unit, Microchip. “Delivering solutions with demonstrated interoperability with ecosystem components like ATP Electronics SATA SSD products is vital in ensuring rapid and reliable integration and deployment of next gen storage solutions.“

“We are excited to partner with Microchip as a qualified provider of SATA SSDs for their latest storage adapters,” said Chris Lien, head, embedded SSD business unit, ATP. “As global leaders in specialized storage and memory solutions, we are certain that our SATA SSDs can seamlessly interoperate with Microchip’s new storage adapters to deliver unique solutions for unique storage challenges in next-gen data centers.“

SmartRAID-3200

The company’s extensive line of A600Sc Series SATA drives come in various form factors, such as 2.5″ drives and M.2 2242/2280, and capacities ranging from 120/240GB to 1.92TB. Known for their reliable performance and extended endurance, the firm’s SATA SSDs undergo testing, starting from the NAND flash IC level up to drive and mass production levels to deliver quality for mission-critical applications.

Selected SATA drives feature microcontroller unit (MCU) – based power loss protection (PLP) capabilities that deliver intelligent performance in various temperatures, power glitches and charge states. As components perform and react differently in severely cold or hot scenarios, the company‘s PLP technology ensures reliable PLP capacitance in all states of cold start, hot temperature workload, and cross temperature.

A Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) error correcting engine and RAID support provide error detection and correction with redundant backup algorithm to eliminate the possibility of uncorrectable errors. ‘End-to-End Data Path Protection’ prevents unauthorized access to data while it is being transferred from one storage device to another, while industrial operating temperature support ensures reliable operation in environments from -40°C to 85°C.

To meet storage requirements, the company’s customizes firmware and hardware to manage the balance of performance and device life span. A range of optional custom security technologies are available depending on customer request, and long product cycles ensure consistent quality and supply availability.
