Transcend
Information, Inc. introduces its newest industrial memory solution, a high-speed Serial ATA Flash Module.
Specifically designed for use in
thin clients, blade servers, ultra-compact sub-notebooks and
space-limited industrial installations, Transcend’s SATA flash module
offers solid-state reliability and speed in a lightweight compact
package. Moreover, its direct motherboard connection and low-profile
design saves space and alleviates the need for bulky cables that waste
space and restrict airflow.
With robust, non-volatile
flash memory, the SATA flash module is ideal for use in harsher, more
demanding industrial environments such as in industrial PCs, embedded
systems, medical instruments, factory automation systems, network
infrastructure and other industrial equipment. Besides being much
smaller than conventional 2.5” and 3.5” SATA hard disk drives, the SATA
flash module uses far less power and offers vastly improved shock and
vibration resistance, longer data retention durability and instant
access speeds with zero spin-up or seek time. With built-in ECC (Error
Correction Code) and an advanced wear leveling algorithm, Transcend’s
SATA flash module ensures highly reliable long-term data transfer and
storage for professional computing applications.
Transcend
uses only name brand SLC (Single-Level-Cell) NAND Flash chips in its
SATA flash modules to guarantee fast read / write speeds and smooth,
delay-free software operation. Transcend’s SATA flash modules are the
perfect combination of size, performance, and reliability, and are now
offered in capacities of 1GB and 2GB in both Vertical (male SATA data
and power connectors) and Horizontal (female SATA connector with mini
2-pin power and mechanical write-protection switch) versions to satisfy
your industrial application requirements.
