Unlike the Apacer one, these actually look pretty much normal

Most solid state drives work just fine at temperatures of 0°C / 104°F to 65°C / 149°F or even more, but when it comes to really hot or freezing temperatures, even they falter. That's why it's a feat to create SSDs capable of withstanding more extreme temperatures.

Kingmax just managed it. Sure, all SSDs can be stored at -40°C / -40°F to 85°C / 185°F or so, but they don't work in those ranges. The newest Kingmax industrial SSDs do though.

They are much like Apacer's single-chip, miniature SSDs in this regard, but that's where the similarities end. Kingmax' collection is a fair bit broader, including 2.5-inch, mSATA, and Half-Slim units.

This will allow Kingmax to both offer upgrade options for outdated HDDs, as well as equip new PCs with compact storage devices that are equally as capacious and fast as SATA III ones, even faster in the case of M.2 (when the drives and motherboard ports are wired through PCI Express anyway).

Kingmax' new SSDs also promise considerable impact resistance and vibration tolerance.

The new solid state drives are made of MLC flash memory and should be a good fit for industrial computers, monitoring products, game machines, medical equipment, devices used to take readings in the field, etc.
