PCIe NVMe flash storage suits industrial embedded markets
PCIe NVMe solid state drive (SSD) flash products by Smart Modular Technologies now include the BGAP520 PCIe NVMe family in M.2 Type 1620 BGA package (BGA NVMe) and small form-factor M.2 2230 single-sided module. They are suitable for embedded systems where space is limited, advises Smart Modular.
The latest addition to the Smart Modular’s portfolio of DuraFlash products which have been developed to withstand the harshest operating environments including extreme hot and cold temperatures, vibration, humidity, salty air, dust and exposure to sulphur dioxide.
The Type 1620 BGA NVMe and M.2 2230 PCIe NVMe modules address the need for soldered down and small form factor flash storage in embedded systems, says Smart Modular. They use a PCIe Gen 3 x4 interface and comply with the NVM Express v1.3 protocol standard. They are available in 3D NAND tri-level cell (TLC) in commercial temperature (0 to +70 degrees C) in 30 to 240Gbyte and pseudo single-level cell (pSLC) industrial temperature (-40 to +85 degrees C) in 20 to 80Gbyte versions.
The BGAP520 BGA NVMe conforms to M.2 Type 1620 BGA package standard and the M.2 2230 module conforms to M.2 2230 S2-M module standard.
