greenliant_sata_nanadrive_ssd.jpgGreenliant Systems, a leader in energy-efficient, highly secure and reliable solid state storage products, has begun volume production of 16 GB and 32 GB industrial grade SATA NANDrive embedded solid state drives (SSDs) using 1-bit-per-cell (SLC) NAND flash memory. The GLS85LS1016P and GLS85LS1032P devices are ideal for long-life products that need high-endurance storage for user data and applications in a small, ball grid array (BGA) form factor.

The addition of GLS85LS1016P and GLS85LS1032P expands Greenliant's industrial grade SATA NANDrive portfolio to offer customers a wide range of capacities--2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB and 32 GB--of robust, embedded SSDs. Based on Greenliant's internally-developed NAND controller, NANDrive has error correction code (ECC) capabilities with advanced wear-leveling algorithms and bad block management to significantly extend the life of the product. NANDrive includes power interrupt data protection and enhanced security features to safeguard mission-critical data.

Innodisk, a designer and manufacturer of SSDs for industrial applications, is pleased to announce the development of a new patented technology, Power Secure. Power Secure is Innodisk's advanced hardware and firmware-based power failure protection system, which helps ensure SSD data integrity after sudden power outages. An informative Innodisk white paper, “Data Integrity In the Event of Abnormal Power Failure in SSDs”, explains the technology behind Power Secure.

Solid-state drives (SSDs) are far more robust than traditional HDDs; they are faster, more durable, and have lower operating costs. However, all storage devices are vulnerable to potential data loss caused by a sudden shutdown due to external power failure. Now, Innodisk’s Power Secure offers a combined hardware and firmware power-down recovery system that significantly reduces the probability of data loss or corruption.

If a SSD read or write operation is interrupted due to an unexpected loss of power, there can be inconsistencies in the data; it may not load successfully, and an ECC (Error Correcting Code) failure can occur, leading to data loss. Power Secure's first line of defense against this issue is a low power detector on the SSD.

Hundreds and thousands of storage products are now selling everywhere and they can be varied. There are also so many different types of new generation USB 3.0 flash drives which have best performance. However, by only showing the performance can no longer satisfy the needs of consumers; not only do people favor access speed, they must also be able to display personal style and uniqueness. This is the kind of perfect product that the Team Group T132 is!

The T132 is one of the few flash drives that considered as a boutique which the design is specially merged with the craft aesthetic concept. The designers from Team Group started with the idea of using the lines from a bird’s nest with fine zinc alloy to create a refined look. The material they used for surface is processed with sandblasting; emitting a low-key and introverted silver glow, which further displays the calm tone of natural craftsmanship. It uses hollow interlaced lines that soften the hard metal design and comes along with slip-proof function. The T132 displays the refined and extraordinary sense of power and beauty. On the other hand, it also uses a one-piece cap-less design, totally eliminating the worry of losing the cover. The T132 make flash drives not just an ordinary storage product, but also a perfect artwork!
