Solid-State Drive

April 1, 2010

Solid-State Drive White Electronic Designs Corp. (Phoenix, AZ) has introduced a Single Level Cell (SLC) NAND solid-state drive (SSD) that provides secure data storage for embedded military applications in rugged and extended-temperature environments. The drive is available as a 4-GByte, 22 × 27 mm plastic ball grid array (PBGA) package and supports various PATA interface protocols. A hardware- and software triggered security erase feature provides enhanced security. After the data purge command is initiated, all data is eliminated in less than 10 seconds, and options are available that also perform sanitization protocols designed to be compliant to the various government agency specifications.

Constructed using a 32-bit RISC processor as its core storage controller, the SSD provides flash management techniques. Incorporated wear leveling and error correction techniques extend disk operating life. The device provides data protection in the event of a sudden, unplanned power loss or disturbance, and operates from a single 3.3-volt power supply. The PBGA package is constructed using eutectic tinlead solder balls on a 1.27-mm pitch. It supports ATA/PCMCIA 2.1, Compact Flash 3.0 and 4.0 compliant interfaces.
