Reading, United Kingdom – Solid State Disks Ltd (SSDL) and trusted partner Transcend will be jointly exhibiting at Southern Manufacturing & Electronics – at the Farnborough International Exhibition Centre, 4th to 6th February 2025 – and will be showcasing a variety of robust solid-state disks (SSDs) and memory solutions for industrial applications.
On show and ideal for use in new-build systems will be the recently announced Transcend M.2 22110 SSD MTE730P. It features 112-layer 3D NAND flash, a PCI Express (PCIe) Gen4 x4 interface, an 8-channel controller and a built-in DRAM cache that enables fast random read and write speeds.
The MTE730P’s durability comes through its 30µ” gold finger PCB, corner bond (chip mount) technology, the use of anti-sulphur resistors and power loss protection (PLP). In addition, the drive has been chamber tested for extended operating temperatures ranging from -40 to 85℃.
Also on show will be Transcend’s M.2 SSD MTE560I. It has much in common with the MTE730’s performance and durability and adds self-encrypting drive (SED) technology that complies with the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) 2.0 standards. Data is protected using hardware-based AES 256-bit encryption and Logical Block Address (LBA) sector-specific permissions.
“We’re looking forward to showing the MTE730P and MTE560I, as well as a variety of our other products, that are suitable for harsh environment applications,” comments Transcend Sales Manager, Marek Malinski. “We’ll also be able to talk to visitors about a variety of additional steps we take to make products even more durable, steps such as the use of corner bond and underfill to protect against mechanical shock and high vibration levels, and how we can add conformal coatings to protect against dust, moisture and contaminants.”
For legacy applications, such as production lines and manufacturing equipment that have been in place for years, SSDL’s range of SCSIFlash SSDs can be used as drop-in replacements for yesteryear technology drives.
These drives, which include early generation hard disk drives (HDDs) and drives that use removable media such as floppy and magneto-optic (MO) disks, have moving parts that wear over time, putting the manufacturing equipment at risk of failure.
SSDL’s SCSIFlash supports a variety of connector/interface types including Pertec, QIC DAT, DLT 3490, Jazz, ZIP and Bernoulli, and the drives are drop-in replacement for virtually any style of SCSI-based drive.
“We’re delighted to be exhibiting alongside Transcend,” comments James Hilken, Sales Director of SSDL. “Whether show attendees are seeking solutions for a new system or whether they are needing to keep existing equipment operational, we can help.”
About SSDL
Established in 1989, Solid State Disks Limited (SSDL) is an OEM of solid-state-based, swap-in replacements for obsolete data storage drives and a distributor and value-added reseller (VAR) of latest technology Flash memory and DRAM solutions for commercial and industrial applications.
The company’s solid-state disk drives are used extensively in sectors that include aerospace, defence, telecoms and manufacturing to replace drives that use old-tech removable media such as floppy and optical discs and magnetic tapes, as well as early generation hard disk drives. SSDL’s drives replicate the exact behaviour of the drives they replace, so no modifications to the host system are required. Also, being solid-state, they are more reliable than the drives they replace, draw less power and are quieter.
As for the VAR side of the business, SSDL specialises in the sourcing of memory cards, modules and other data storage solutions and is a trusted partner of Innodisk, Transcend and Western Digital / SanDisk. The close relationship SSDL enjoys with its partners, and other manufacturers, enables the company to offer direct pricing, support variable demand and even lock down BOMs.
SSDL is ISO:2015 and Cyber Essentials certified and is a member of the following organisations: the International Institute of Obsolescence Management (IIOM); the National Microelectronics Institute (NMI) and the international trade association for the broadcast and media industry (IABM). SSDL is also a member of the aerospace, defence, security and space trade association, ADS, and is registered with the Joint Supply Chain Accreditation Register (JOSCAR – the accreditation and compliance system for the defence aerospace sectors including prime contractors, civil aviation and security).
