FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Innodisk's nanoSSD Selected By CRN As One Of The 10 Coolest Flash Storage Products of 2013
August 20, 2013 – Taipei, Taiwan
–
Innodisk,
a designer and manufacturer of SSDs for commercial and
industrial applications, announces that Innodisk's nanoSSD was selected
by CRN, the market leader in channel news for the North America IT
channel, in a feature entitled “The 10 Coolest Flash Storage Products
Of 2013 (So Far).” Other companies selected for their innovative
products were Astute Networks, Dell, HP, Intel, Kaminario, Qlogic,
Samsung, sTec and Whiptail. The nanoSSD is the industrial-embedded
industry's first SATA device in accordance to SATA µSSD standards.
Through the integration of a control chip, flash memory and peripheral
power components into a single ball grid array (BGA) package, Innodisk
has managed to reduce the size of the nanoSSD to approximately 1% the
size of a 2.5” SSD. With dimensions of only 16 x 20 x 2 mm (WxLxH), a
weight of only 1.5g, SATA III support, capacities ranging from 2 to 32
GB and both x86 and ARM compatibility, nanoSSD can be incorporated into
a wide variety of applications where a small form-factor and high
transfer rates are important, including industrial mobile devices,
embedded systems, tablets, high-end smart phones and Ultrabooks.
Innodisk's nanoSSD not only offers the advantage of an incredibly small
form factor, as a result of the integration of DRAM into a BGA, this
product also features high read/write speeds of 480/175 MB/s,
respectively. Whether for purposes of system booting, data storage, or
data cache backup, nanoSSD can significantly improve overall system
performance.
According to TrendForce predictions for 2013, demand for embedded
memory technologies eMMC and SSD will heat up, with a forecast of
overall NAND Flash demand growth to reach up to 47.6% with eMMC and SSD
contributing to 15% of the NAND flash output growth. Embedded memory
technology designed for smart phones, eMMC, has been one of the main
choices of ultra-thin hand-held devices, however, being subject to
performance limitations, they are usually only implemented in low-end
models. For high-end applications such as high performance ultra-thin
Ultrabooks, the SATA interface remains the optimal choice.
Designed according to MO-276 standards, the JEDEC standard for SATA
microSSDs, nanoSSD is a single-chip SATA implementation which allows
for easy design-in. With many applications in the industrial-embedded
field, Innodisk's nanoSSD can be applied in embedded storage devices of
various sizes, in particular, SATADOM, Innodisk's own world's smallest
form factor disk on module series. With Innodisk's expertise in
creating mini form factor modules, an even smaller DOM can be created.
This product is fully compliant with the industrial-embedded industry's
standards, including: thermal sensor implementation, -40˚C to 85˚C wide
operation range, shock-resistance and ATA security and military
(MIL-STD-810F/G) compliant quick erase standards.
