On show and ideal for use in new-build systems will be the recently announced Transcend M.2 22110 SSD MTE730P. It features 112-layer 3D NAND flash, a PCI Express (PCIe) Gen4 x4 interface, an 8-channel controller and a built-in DRAM cache that enables fast random read and write speeds.
The MTE730P’s durability comes through its 30µ” gold finger PCB, corner bond (chip mount) technology, the use of anti-sulphur resistors and power loss protection (PLP). In addition, the drive has been chamber tested for extended operating temperatures ranging from -40 to 85℃.
Also on show will be Transcend’s M.2 SSD MTE560I. It has much in common with the MTE730’s performance and durability and adds self-encrypting drive (SED) technology that complies with the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) 2.0 standards. Data is protected using hardware-based AES 256-bit encryption and Logical Block Address (LBA) sector-specific permissions.
“We’re looking forward to showing the MTE730P and MTE560I, as well as a variety of our other products, that are suitable for harsh environment applications,” comments Transcend Sales Manager, Marek Malinski.
For legacy applications, such as production lines and manufacturing equipment that have been in place for years, SSDL’s range of SCSIFlash SSDs can be used as drop-in replacements for yesteryear technology drives.
These drives, which include early generation hard disk drives (HDDs) and drives that use removable media such as floppy and magneto-optic (MO) disks, have moving parts that wear over time, putting the manufacturing equipment at risk of failure.
SSDL’s SCSIFlash supports a variety of connector/interface types including Pertec, QIC DAT, DLT 3490, Jazz, ZIP and Bernoulli, and the drives are drop-in replacement for virtually any style of SCSI-based drive.
James Hilken, Sales Director of SSDL comments, “Whether show attendees are seeking solutions for a new system or whether they are needing to keep existing equipment operational, we can help.”
