TDK Corporation has developed the GBDriver RS4 series of NAND type flash memory controllers with support for 3 Gbps serial ATA. Sales will begin in January 2013.
With an effective access speed of 180 MB/sec, the GBDriver RS4 is an advanced high-speed SATA controller chip. It is fully compatible not only with the latest 1xnm generation and 2xnm generation 16 kB/page SLC (single level cell) and MLC (multi level cell) NAND type flash memory, but also with 8 kB/page and 4 kB/page structures. This allows the customer to select the optimal flash memory for the respective application, providing the flexibility to configure high-speed SATA storage with a capacity ranging from 512 MB to 1 TB.
Along with high-speed control, a read retry function has been added which is essential for ensuring data reliability when using the latest MLC type NAND flash memory. Together with the auto-recovery, data randomizer, and auto-refresh functions of the existing GBDriver series, this design accommodates also future developments in the flash memory format. Data reliability is significantly enhanced by the highly acclaimed GBDriver power interruption tolerance algorithm. For customers requiring an even higher level of data reliability, the Enhanced ECC function makes it possible to expand ECC to 71 bits per 512 byte block.

Regarding the importance of data storage for embedded application, Apacer has launched two compact and portable industrial-grade USB Drives — AH321 & AH322 that boost “stability” and “durability.” The two models meet the industrial customers’ demanding requirements for system operation. With the superb reliability of SLC chips and the advantage of Fixed B.O.M., Apacer highlights that the firmware and major components of all the products can be fixed upon customers’ recognition and verification. This reduces the risk of out-of-stock and compatibility issues, ensuring high durability and reliability for customers.
With up to 32 GB capacity, the two Apacer USB Drives adopt USB 2.0 high-speed transmission and support operating systems such as Windows ME/XP/ 2000/Vista, Mac OS 8.6,Linux 2.4.0, etc. Featuring compactness, they support hot swapping and plug-in-and-play functions. Particularly, the Pen Cap design of AH321 allows the cap to be tucked in the back of the casing to prevent accidental loss. The greatest difference between these two industrial-grade USB drives and other consumer flash drives on the market lies in its firmware version and major components that can be fixed. Apacer’s clients can benefit from the stable, long-term supply, with compatibility issues caused by frequent product component changes significantly reduced. Time and money spent on product verification can also be saved.
