ATP Electronics A700Pi/E700Pi Series pSLC NAND-Based Embedded SSDs

ATP Electronics, Inc. launches the A700Pi/E700Pi Series, a gen of premium line pSLC NAND-based embedded SSDs.

Highlight for this gen is a firm-developed firmware and supporting mass production infrastructure, which are customizable to endurance configurations that are tailor-fitted to customer’s requirements, to address any variety of embedded/industrial usage cases. This demonstrates the company’s commitment to deliver optimal TCO value for its customers as storage demands of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), edge computing, and other high-reliability applications continue the upsurge.

“At the outset, off-the-shelf NAND flash storage products might be the easiest, cost-friendly solutions to growing storage demands; however, initial purchase costs do not present the big picture and customers can actually end up spending more as hidden costs turn up in the long run. The challenge is the usage case diversity we see across various projects. ATP encounters a different workload, and thus different assessment and drive configuration requirements, for almost every customer,” said Peter Huang, head, embedded SSD business unit. “We were previously able to custom-configure firmware development for our larger-volume strategic customers; by redesigning our product firmware, production testing tools, and even operational proceses, we can now customize products for a wider base of customers, including those with smaller volume requirements.”

Premium line: Best TCO value for cost per TBW/DWPD endurance
Premium line uses controller and firmware technologies to make sure that the offerings meet and even exceed the endurance requirements of demanding applications.

Premium line storage solutions are purpose-built for applications that require uncompromising endurance and reliability at lower user capacities. These embedded flash storage devices are configured with pseudo SLC (pSLC) to extend the general endurance to more than 10x of the same TLC products. The pSLC technology improves the sustained write performance and reliability of the drives, making them suitable for write-intensive applications. By storing only one bit per cell, Premium line solutions drive down TCO with longer service life using cost-effective NAND flash technology.

The company’s customizable premium line with 3D TLC NAND flash configured as pSLC offers a balance in usable density at a better price point (cost/GB), and improvements in reliability, sustained performance, and endurance (cost/TBW), which all boil down to best TCO value.
