Microsoft Windows 8 introduced the innovative Windows To Go (WTG) feature, which enables people to enjoy their own applications and access their personal data via any smart display that supports the Windows operating system, as long as they have a thumb-sized flash disk with them. Etron Technology, Inc. today announces that its EV266W Flash Driver Controller has received Windows To Go certification from Microsoft. EV266W employs a dual-channel design and advanced 72-bit Error Check and Correction (ECC) functionality. It supports 8 CE (Channel Enable) pins per channel, with up to a total of 16 CE pins, in a 64-QFN (9x9 mm) package or an 88-QFN (10x10 mm) package. The EV266W Flash Driver Controller and platform enables system manufacturers of USB 3.0 flash drives to develop a new generation of USB 3.0 device end products and accelerate their technologies to market.
To end customers, Microsoft’s WTG delivers the convenience of smart living with Plug In, Boot and Go capabilities. This allows users to (1) travel light anywhere with their familiar Windows operating system, applications and personal data on a thumb-sized flash drive; (2) turn any display that supports the Windows operating system into a dedicated PC; (3) achieve hassle-free Windows usage without the need to sync programs and personal data across multiple devices; (4) stay fully productive despite computer hardware failure since people can connect to any PC of their choice; and (5) prevent data loss and compute securely and with privacy.
