Swissbit X-78m2 M.2 2242 SATA Industrial SATA Up to 320GB SSD
Operating temperatures from -40°C to +85 °C, up to 560MB/s and 490MB/s for sequential RW speeds
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on March 31, 2022 at 2:01 pmSwissbit AG has expanded its product range with the M.2 SATA SSD X-78m2.
This series is designed for write-intensive applications, is for audio, video, and data recording, as well as serving as a boot medium, and achieves 2.5x the endurance of previous generations. At the same time, it meets requirements for reliability, temperature stability, and longevity. This makes this SSD for applications that require high endurance without compromising on data retention or temperature profiles.
Typical applications include industrial PCs, point-of-sale systems, embedded and surveillance systems, as well as mission-critical applications in the transportation, medical, networking, and communications sectors. The X-78m2 series is based on the compact M.2 2242 form factor and is available with storage capacities ranging from 40 to 320GB.
The X-78m2 series’ endurance ratings of up to 80 DWPD make it for demanding workloads of write-intensive applications. The series achieves this by utilizing the latest generation of TLC NAND, configured in pSLC mode. The interface supports 6Gb SATA III and is backward compatible with SATA II and SATA I. Thus, the SSD achieves data rates of up to 560MB/s for sequential reads and 490MB/s for sequential writes. It exceeds 73,000 and 86,000 IO/s for read and write, respectively.
The X-78m2 is designed and specified for industrial use at operating temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85 °C, including stability against the ‘cross temperature effect’. The product line will also be available for a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.
Intelligent architecture with optimized hardware and firmware
The company relies on a performance flash NAND controller that ensures error correction, combined with industry-specific firm’s Data Care Management firmware.
With its compatible components, this high-endurance SSD combines robustness, reliability, and data integrity over its entire life cycle – regardless of changing environmental conditions, unexpected power outages, and even when data has not been accessed for extended periods of time.
The company also offers optional security features for the X-78m2, including AES-128/256 encryption and TCG-OPAL 2.0 access protection.
The X-78m2 series is available through all company’s sales channels in the M.2 2242 form factor with capacities ranging from 40 to 320GB. Other form factors (M.2 2260, M.2 2280) are available upon request.
