14 DAY TRIAL // Deciding it was time to release a different sort of NAND Flash-based product than just another SSD or flash drive, ATP created a vertical slim SATA module aimed at the embedded market.
The new vertical slim SATA module that ATP Electronics has put together goes by the name of SL-1042.
It is based on SLC (single-level cell) NAND Flash memory chips which, while more expensive than MLC chips, should be able to last far longer, as is needed on the enterprise market.
The module measures 54 (L) x 39.8 (W) x 4 (H) mm and works on the SATA 3.0 Gbps interface.
It also has a number of assets meant to let it last longer and maintain performance at the necessary level throughout its lifespan.
Said assets, such as the global wear-leveling feature, are reflected in the read and write speeds of up to 116 MB/s and the MTBF of more than 1 million hours.
"ATP Electronics is committed to addressing the market needs of smaller and more efficient memory modules which provide the same performance and reliability of larger alternatives," said Michael Plaksin, ATP Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
"The Vertical Slim SATA Module, with its compact design and superior performance capability is the ultimate solution for embedded solid state storage applications requiring optimal operating abilities," Plaksin added.
The ATP Vertical Slim SATA embedded modules also include error checking and correction capabilities, plus drive monitoring (S.M.A.R.T.).
It is available in 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB and 16 GB capacities, respectively, and should be used in such things as IPC, Blades, Advanced TCA, Networking hosts and POS machines, where they are supposedly intended to act as actual replacements for 2.5-inch HDDs.
All of them are compliant with the CE, FCC and RoHS industry specifications and adhere to the JEDEC standard.
