Range of Swissbit X-75-Range 6Gb SATA 2.5-Inch Up to 2TB Industrial SSDs

Swissbit AG introduces a range of 3D-NAND-SSD products for demanding industrial, and netcom applications.

The X-75-range includes product versions with 2.5″ housing, as well as M.2, SlimSATA and mSATA modules.

Storage solutions specialist the company has fine-tuned its firmware to meet the requirements of industrial and netcom companies. The firmware architecture, features as well as the product qualification and 100% final testing with long-term availability make X-75 an SSD for applications such as automation, medical technology, industrial PCs, data-logging and netcom-system boot-mediums.

Industrial 3D-NAND
This family of industrial 6Gb SATA SSDs uses Toshiba BiCS3 NAND, specified and pretested to operate between -40°C and 85°C, and flash-controllers that support an 165-bit-LDPC error correction. The 2.5″ device has a die cast metal housing, which improves thermal behavior and stable performance. The reliable products therefore conform to the industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

The 2.5″ SSDs from the X-75 family will be available from 60GB to 2TB and are for both commercial and industrial temperature grades. Customers benefit from the longevity and price points offered by the X-75 solutions while retaining the feature set of Swissbit’s X-60 range.

Designed for endurance
The SSD range offers capacities from 240GB to 2TB and uses a direct TLC write mode without SLC cache, which reduces Write Amplification Factor (WAF) and maintains a high sustained write data rate. The firmware achieves endurance out of the 3000 P/E cycles specified for the 3D-NAND components. The use of SLC-Cache for the 60 and 120GB X-75-drives improves top performance.

The company’s Data Care Management with background scan, Near Miss ECC, and protection of internal data paths (E2E DPP – End-to-End Data Path Protection) offers additional safety against data loss. The firmware applies a Block RAID for all drives, which allows recovery of full page fails.

3D-NAND-SSD with optional security features
As an option, the drives support AES256 encryption and TCG-OPAL-2.0 access protection. Furthermore, the firm’s Lifetime Monitor shows detailed information about the current lifetime status of the device.

“As a specialist for storage and security solutions for demanding industrial, IoT, IIoT and NetCom applications we continue to add security features to our latest 3D NAND SSD product, thus offering a highly reliable and easy-to-integrate product for industrial-strength applications“, says Grady Lambert, GM, Swissbit NA Inc.
