Replacement SCSI Drives for Legacy Systems
Solid State Disks Ltd
Dependable Data Storage Solutions
Many legacy systems incorporate data storage devices that rely heavily on the continued health and operation of drives with moving parts and yesteryear’s storage media (magnetic disks and tapes and floppy and optical discs for example). We specialise in the design and manufacture of solid-state replacement SCSI drives.
Because of their age, the original electromechanical drives are becoming increasingly unreliable and will eventually fail. However:
- New like-for-like replacements are not available – they are now obsolete.
- Refurbished second-hand like-for-like placements, when they can be found, carry short warrantees.
We provide solid-state swap-in replacement SCSI drives – as well as drives that use PATA/IDE interfaces – that emulate the functionality of your legacy storage device. They are matched to your host systems, so there’s no need to change your application software.
Our replacement SCSI drive technology incorporates modern flash memory ICs (so no moving parts), is highly reliable and can be maintained for a guaranteed seven years. Also, all come with the option of our lease-maintenance service.
SCSI interfaces include SCSI 50-pin, 68-pin, 68-pin LVD, and 80-pin SCA. Other interfaces include PATA/IDE, ESDI and Centronics (50-pin and 68-pin).
You can find your ideal solid-state replacement SCSI drive using our versatile product selector tool. Simply check the ‘Legacy Drive Emulators’ filter option.
And if none of our wide range of solutions meet your requirements, we offer a full turnkey solution. We can also reverse engineer old storage devices for which the original design information is no longer available.
Restore Confidence and Add New Features with our Replacement SCSI Drives
Our products are swap-in replacements for a wide range of SCSI drives (SASI, SCSI-1, SCSI-2 and Ultra3) PATA / IDE and ESDI drives. No changes need to be made to your host system.
Features include:
- Industrial grade Compact Flash (CF) or SATA based CFast / M.2.
- Up to 1TB (TLC) for non-mission critical applications and up to 64GB (SLC) for fixed disk heavy read/write mission-critical applications.
- Up to 100,000 read-write cycles.
- Approved for use in mil-aero, nuclear, power and network equipment-building systems (NEBS) applications.
- All of our replacement SCSI drives, as well our replacement PATA/IDE and ESDI drives, are available with an optional Ethernet port. This means they can be networked and managed using our Windows-based memory management tools.
