With the advent of high-resolution video and surveillance systems, the demand for stable performance (Sustained Performance) and Power Loss Protection in SSD storage devices continues to rise among video recording equipment and surveillance system integrators. Therefore, Phison Electronics, a leading provider of NAND controllers and NAND storage solutions, today announced the launch of specialized SSD storage solutions for video and surveillance systems, including the mid-high-range S12DI and the cost-effective S17T SSD solutions.

According to market research data, the global shipment volume of video and surveillance systems is approximately 35 million units annually. While traditional mechanical hard drives (HDDs) have a price advantage, their speed performance has gradually become insufficient to meet the demands of high-resolution video recording. Additionally, traditional HDDs face issues such as high failure rates, power consumption and loud noise. As a result, the demand for SSDs in high-resolution video and surveillance systems is steadily increasing. Market research agencies predict that the global shipment volume of HDDs and SSDs used in video and surveillance systems will exceed 50 million units with a compound annual growth rate of 7.4% by 2027, indicating substantial business opportunities.
