Industrial SSDs achieve high endurance of 250,000 program/erase cycles
High endurance solid state drives (SSDs) from Greenliant can reach up to 250,000 program/erase (P/E) cycles. The one-bit-per-cell (SLC) NANDrive SSDs are part of Greenliant’s EnduroSLC line, which offers various endurance specifications for demanding industrial applications.
The NANDrive SSDs, enabled by Greenliant’s EnduroSLC technology, provide embedded systems designers with more options when choosing data storage products for long life applications. They are designed to meet the most challenging data retention requirements for applications with write-intensive workloads. The company is currently sampling 50K, 100K and 250K endurance eMMC 5.1 NANDrive SSDs to customers on select product engagements.
Using advanced NAND flash management algorithms and hardware error correction code (ECC) capabilities, Greenliant claims to significantly increase the life of its NANDrive SSDs for superior endurance and data retention for extended periods of time.
High endurance NANDrive SSDs are suited for write-intensive applications used in high temperature, high stress environments, such as aviation, rail transportation, marine equipment, seismic instrumentation, data loggers, basestations, industrial control and factory automation. Greenliant’s advanced NAND controllers optimise NAND flash use and extend the lifespan of aging NAND, to achieve the longest device lifetime possible, claims the company. All EnduroSLC-based products operate at industrial temperatures, between -40 and +85 degrees C.
NANDrive manages all NAND flash complexities and allows embedded system designers to quickly integrate mass data storage solutions into their designs without having to make any firmware changes. The technology complies with PATA, SATA and eMMC interface protocols supported by all standard embedded operating systems, so designers do not face costly, time-consuming host software revalidation cycles. As an integrated multi-chip package, NANDrive eliminates the need for long qualification cycles when there is a change of NAND flash technology – customers need only qualify NANDrive as a mass storage subsystem, explains Greenliant.
Greenliant is headquartered in California, USA and has product development centres in Santa Clara, Beijing, Shanghai, Xiamen and Hsinchu.
