Embedded World: Silicon Power Storage Solutions for AI and Edge Computing

Silicon Power Computer & Communications Inc. announces its participation at Embedded World from April 9-11 in Nuremburg, Germany.

It will to present embedded solutions for edge computing devices in medical healthcare, automotive, digital entertainment, and automated manufacturing. It will also introduce 2 new SSDs: the MEC3M0R (M.2 2280) and the MEA3M0E (M.2 2242).

Built for Edge: MEC3M0R and MEA3M0E
The MEC3M0R and MEA3M0E represent a leap forward in SSD performance, reliability, and protection. Boasting random RW speeds, the MEC3M0R delivers up to 845,000 read IO/s and 644,000 write IO/s, while the MEA3M0E offers up to 858,000 read IO/s and 609,000 write IO/s.^[1] With endurance levels of up to 3,000 P/E cycles and temperature operation from -40°C to 85°C, these SSDs ensure durability in harsh and demanding environments. Additionally, they feature robust data protection mechanisms, including ECC and AES 256-bit data encryption to safeguard critical data, a necessity for edge computing devices. The MEC3M0R offers even further safety measures with PFP (Power Failure Protection) and is available in capacities up to 2TB.

2-in-1 Combo SSD: CSD3K0E
The CSD3K0E is a versatile storage solution created to meet the miniaturized design trend in industrial PC (IPC) systems. It combines an M.2 SATA SSD and microSD into a single 2.5″ SSD interface, generating 2 separate spaces for system optimization. This gives users flexibility, such as being able to use the SSD portion for data storage and the microSD portion for RW operations simultaneously. The combination also results in a compact design, which is critical for the often tight-on-space nature of edge computing devices. Utilizing the microSD slot, users can double their storage limit according to their needs. Notably, the company holds a patent for this unique form factor, underlining its commitment to innovation and pushing the boundaries of storage technology.

Extra Security with SP OPALBOX
All 3 of these products also support SP OPALBOX, a proprietary encryption software that ensures data security and provides peace of mind for sensitive data storage. It includes features to setup TCG OPAL and pre-boot authentication, as well as to enable SID/admin passwords or to reset the disk to factory default. The extra security functions provided by SP OPALBOX are indispensable for protecting edge computing devices from unauthorized tampering or theft.
