Smart Modular DuraFlash ME2 Family of SATA SSDs With 3D NAND Up to 1,92TB

Smart Modular Technologies, Inc., a division of SGH (Smart Global Holdings, Inc.), announces the next gen of its DuraFlash ME2 family of SATA SSD products, which includes M.2 2242, M.2 2280, mSATA, Slim SATA and 2.5” form factors.

These SSDs are available in both industrial and commercial temperature grades and have versions that implement the firm’s SafeDATA power-loss, data-protection technology for handling of power fluctuations and sudden power loss events.

The ME2 SSDs incorporate the latest gen 3D NAND-technology and the company’s NVMSentry firmware to deliver performance SSD products with endurance up to 1 DWPD for 5 years using JEDEC JESD219A enterprise endurance workload. These NAND device offers better cost per bit over previous 64-layer and 96-layer NAND generations without sacrificing performance and reliability.

Further optimization of the NVMSentry firmware also yields enhancements in read and write consistency over range of application workloads. HPC, data centers, networking, cloud systems and other applications that demand reliability and consistency over long operating lifetime can benefit from the ME2 SSD products.

Victor Tsai, director, flash products, explains: “We are constantly looking to leverage improvements in NAND technologies to offer state-of-the-art memory solutions for our customers. We work in partnership with them to deliver denser, faster, cost-optimized storage solutions to meet their ever-evolving needs in performance and endurance requirements. Our NVMSentry firmware and SafeDATA technology provide the best in class performance consistency and protection of data when power supplies to the system are unreliable and suffer from brown outs and outages.”

ME2 SSD products are available in the following standard form factors, capacities, temperature grades, and available with the SafeDATA feature. The company can also custom-build SSDs to address specific needs.
