Rutronik offers Swissbit 2.5-inch SATA SSDs
Distributor, Rutronik, offers Swissbit’s industrial-grade X-60 and X-600 Series 2.5-inch solid state disks (SSDs) for embedded and networking/communication applications.
The X-60 and X-600 2.5-inch SSDs are designed for applications that require reliable, long service life storage in a rugged and high density form factor (up to 960Gbyte).
The 6Gbit per second durabit SSDs from Swissbit use a DRAM-supported, page-based Flash translation layer (FTL), which is claimed to give them up to four times the reliability levels and data rates compared to conventional SSDs.
The Swissbit X-60 SATA 6Gbit per second durabit series uses multi-level cell (MLC) technology, and a powerful controller with DRAM supported FTL and enhanced over-provisioning for high-capacity markets.
The X-600 SATA 6Gbit per second series uses single-level cell (SLC) technology to provide maximum endurance, data retention, and performance, adds the company.
Both the X-60 and X-600 Series drives feature Swissbit’s proven Power Fail Safety, native command queuing (NCQ), wear levelling, and bad block management, and in-field firmware update functionality. Both series are supported by the Swissbit Life Time Monitoring Tool, which uses detailed Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART)), enabling users to access detailed lifetime drive statistics, and allowing the prediction of imminent failure to avoid unexpected data loss.
