Innodisk Makes Available 6Gb SATA at Same Price as 3Gb SATA

Innodisk Corp. introduced its new range of SATA III products.

Innodisk’s complete line up of industrial SATA III storage products now includes 2.5-inch SSD, SATADOM, SATA Slim, mSATA, and CFast, available in a variety of form factors and interfaces.

With SATA III, storage devices now offer sequential read and write speeds up to 500/340MBps – about two times faster than SATA II – to satisfy embedded systems requirement.

With the upgrade to SATA III, Innodisk builds on its R&D strengths, by offering support for wider temperature ranges, customized firmware, power outage data protection and other advanced functions. With these new features, Innodisk is moving the industrial PC application market forward into the next generation. As well as almost doubling read and write speeds, the upgraded SATA III 2.5-inch SSDs provide a lower power design and reduced operating costs with enhanced power saving slumber and sleep modes.

Along with the upgrade to SATA III, iSMART, proprietary disk health monitoring tool has also received its own update, iSMART 3.1. Its one touch activate mode can save hours of setup and maintenance time, by giving users easy one touch access to features such as file write-protection, quick erase and power saving settings. All storage devices in a system can be monitored by iSMART 3.1. The latest version can also help the user to visualize the SSD wear-leveling status at a glance, with a graphical display.

Additional features include ATA security to keep critical data safe and TRIM command support to further extend drive life by avoiding unnecessary write operations. The company has also extended operating temperature range to a new standard, -20°C to 85°C.

SATA III lineup is currently on the market with a pricing similar to Innodisk’s SATA II products.
