Renice Rugged SSD drive, with R-SATA connector

Image
Aerospace and Defense storage applications require the highest level of reliability ,often operating in harsh environments. The Flash storage devices used in these applications must therefore operate flawlessly while exposed to extreme temperatures and high mechanical shock and vibration loads. R-SATA, or Rugged SATA in short, is the unique interface that has been designed specifically to address vibration and the shock problem during application. It can efficiently resolve the undesirable intermittent contact or potential signal spikes resulting from vibration and shock in the SATA gold finger connector.   Renice Technology company can offer SSD solution with such connector, more information please email may@renice-tech.com.

The Physical and Logical Destruction of military SSD drive

Image
For military applications, data security concerns military secrets or even decides the outcome of the war. Especially in modern warfare, on the one hand, countries go all out to develop more advanced and safer electronic systems, and on the other hand, they try every means to decrypt each other’s systems. And yet, as the data medium, the hard disks try all encryption means to prevent being decrypted and meanwhile pay closely attention to quick erase or data destruction under various emergency environments. Initial news of a contract between IBM and DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Project Agency) asks IBM to develop a “new class of electronics that the computers, sensors and other network devices could disappear automatically based on the command”. When the commander sits in the command post with his feet up, he can just simply tap a button and the mobile phones, computers and all other devices in this controllable network could turn to ashes… While technically this is obvi...

How to test the LDPC of 3D NAND?

Image
With the widely promotion of 3D NAND Flash in the market, LDPC has became a key marketing advertisement by all flash vendors.     From the point of ECC, there is indeed no more powerful error correction algorithm than LDPC. But on the contrary, there also exists disagreements. Although the LDPC has been used by HDD for years, it is still unverified by the market when used in NAND Flash. In theory, LDPC is also with own defects. 1.        The latency time of LDPC is extremely long due to the process of iteration. 2.       The Soft Information is necessary. It’s easy to get the Soft Information of HDD at once, but it’s difficult to get the accurate Soft Information of NAND Flash. Once you get the wrong information, the result could be disastrous. Because the LDPC need to calculate the probability with the Soft Information, if the decoder of LDPC gets the wrong Soft Information, it will lead the wrong inform...

Is Write Protect necessary to SSD drive or memory card?

Image
Write Protect, including hardware and software write protect, is any physical mechanism that prevents modification or erasure of valuable data on a drive. HW write protect also called Physical Write Protect Switch , it comes with a Hardware Button/ Switch, e.g.: While SW write protect is through software command to execute. Why Write Protect is so important? Because Write Protect can protect your drive files from corruption, infection, unauthorized changes and accidental deletion on any computer. Once the data is written to the NAND and your drive becomes read-only model, so it will effectively prevent any tampering or other malicious use of your device. For example, some embedded system application (such as Gaming, Automotive, Industrial Automation, ATM…) use SSD as the OS drive, they will request the SSD drive supporting Write Protect, because the system data of these applications are not allowed to be modified. Renice's 2.5" SATA SSD, Msata SSD, ...

How to calculate the TBW (Terabyte Writes ) for SSD drive?

Image
Here is the formula for calculating the TBW (Terabyte Writes ) of SSD drive: 1, As know that there is a OP zone (Over-provisioning) in a SSD drive, it takes about 7% of the capacity, so the real capacity you could use is about 93%. 2,  P/E cycles (write cycles) , depending on the Nand flash type of your SSD, and according to the newest process of Nand, their P/E cycles are as following: SLC: ≈ 60,000 MLC: ≈3,000 TLC: ≈1,000 3, WAF (Write amplification) , the perfect WAF is 1, but actually there is no SSD supplier can achieve their WAF to "1" , there are many factors affect the WAF, usually we calculate with 1.5 times. Then, it's easy for you to calculate the lifetime (how many years you can use) for your SSD drive:   Lifetime (years) = (TBW / Workload) / 365 *Workload: total GB written per day
