SSD flash memory controller provides lowest power consumption

The X1 SATA III SSD controller together with firmware and reference designs enables storage applications for industrial and embedded markets. This allows them to benefit from the most energy-efficient and reliable SSD solution possible. The powerful and efficient proprietary dual-core processor with advanced security features ensures bulletproof operation. Hyperstone’s eXtended Endurance (FlashXE) feature, SRAM ECC and end-to-end data path protection are vital in guaranteeing an industrially stable system with today’s flashes. In addition, the X1 features extremely low power consumption and the silicon is designed for extreme temperature environments.

Achieving the demanding requirements of the industrial market is cemented with hyReliability flash management, which features outstanding wear leveling, read-disturb management, data refresh and best-in-class power-fail robustness. Likewise, advanced protection against radiation and soft errors, SRAM ECC and a low-alpha package ensure operation even under the most demanding conditions.

“Even the most reliable components, if used 24 hours, 365 days and for 10 years, might have to be serviced at some point,” said Sandro-Diego Wölfle, Product Manager of Hyperstone. “We provide exhaustive health-monitoring tools and data exceeding the standard S.M.A.R.T. scope for predictive maintenance as well as for thorough qualification and life-time estimation before deploying storage media to the field.”
