Smart Modular Launches DuraFlash MP3000 Up 1,92GB PCIe NVMe SSDS in M.2 2280, M.2 22110 and E1.S Form Factors

Smart Modular Technologies, Inc., a division of SGH, announces the DuraFlash MP3000 portfolio of PCIe NVMe products, which includes M.2 2280, M.2 22110 and E1.S form factors.

These SSDs are available in both industrial and commercial temperature grades, with versions that implement the compan’s SafeDATA power-loss, data-protection technology to ensure adept handling of power fluctuations and sudden power loss events.

“We are excited to announce this new series of DuraFlash PCIe NVMe SSD products, which will enable our customers to take advantage of next-gen PCIe Gen 4 x4 compatibility,” said Victor Tsai, director, flash products. “Available in 3 form factors, Smart’s MP3000 line provides options for server and client platforms in both industrial and enterprise environments with capacities ranging from 240GB to 1,920GB.”

The MP3000 offers speeds up to 3,500MB/s and 2,000MB/s sequential RW. It is compliant to NVMe v1.4 specification with supported enterprise SSD features such as Namespace Management (up to 16 namespaces), out-of-band NVMe Management Interface (NVMe-MI), and 512B and 4,096B LBA formats.

For enterprise environments, the MP3000 series meets endurance requirements of up to 1 Drive Write per Day (DWPD) of enterprise workloads as defined by JEDEC. It is also offered in extended life cycle versions for industrial applications that need longer availability. Since power loss is a key concern in most applications, the MP3000 also come with the SafeDATA system, the firm’s power-loss data protection system that includes specialized hardware circuitry and algorithms for securely protecting in-flight data during a power loss or power fluctuation scenarios.

The MP3000 series products are SEDs supporting security features that include Secure Boot with PKI-based firmware authenticity verification and the Trusted Computing Groups (TCG) Opal 2.01 standard with AES-XTS 256 data encryption.
