Industrial Temperature 2-bits-per-cell MLC NAND-based SSDs

Date: 25/2/2013

 - operate between -40º and +85ºC; significantly less expensive than 1-bit-per-cell (SLC) NAND-based SSDs

Greenliant Systems’ SATA and PATA NANDrive™ embedded solid state drives (SSDs)  have been adopted by a multitude of embedded system designers for their small form factor, low power consumption and long life. Now the company has begun volume production of an industrial temperature SATA and PATA interface NANDrive™ , using 2-bits-per-cell (MLC) NAND flash memory.

Greenliant's new industrial temperature (I-temp) SATA and PATA NANDrive SSDs overcoming the temperature sensitivity risk of MLC NAND and operate between -40 and +85 degrees Celsius, providing customers with even more choices and flexibility when selecting embedded SSDs to meet their design needs..

Significantly less expensive than conventional 1-bit-per-cell (SLC) NAND-based SSDs,  I-temp MLC NANDrive SSDs meet all essential quality and reliability requirements—such as avoiding uncorrectable errors and data retention issues—when the MLC NAND is operating at extremely low and high temperatures. 

Other benefits of GLS85LS SATA and GLS85LP PATA NANDrive include:

• Highly Efficient Wear Leveling Management: Achieves maximum SSD lifespan for critical applications
• Power Interrupt Data Protection: Ensures data integrity and reliability by promptly detecting and recovering from system power failures
• Configurable Security: Provides user-selectable protection zones and military-grade “instant” erase commands
• NANDrive Health Monitor: Estimates remaining SSD lifespan and takes proactive actions to prevent costly data loss

Industrial temperature 8, 16, 32 and 64 GByte SATA, and 8, 16, and 32 GByte PATA NANDrive SSDs are available today.

About NANDrive SSDs
NANDrive SSDs combines Greenliant’s internally developed NAND controller with a high-performance NAND flash die in a fully integrated multi-chip package. NANDrive SSds manage all NAND flash complexities, enabling embedded system designers to quickly integrate mass data storage solutions into their designs without having to make firmware changes. And because NANDrive complies with ATA and eMMC interface protocols supported by all standard embedded operating systems, designers don’t  face costly, time-consuming host software revalidation cycles. As an integrated multi-chip package solution, NANDrive eliminates the need for long qualification cycles when there is a change of NAND flash technology; customers need only qualify the NANDrive as a mass storage subsystem.
