Reliability Matters

View Online

3D TLC NAND flash memory has performance that can rival planar (2D) MLC NAND flash, but at a very competitive price point. The new line of MEMXPRO's industrial SSDs offer features such as advanced global wear leveling for reliability, low-density parity checking (LDPC), and other features that make for a stable, long-lasting storage product ready for read or write-intensive industrial and embedded solutions. No matter SATA or PCIe interfaces, MEMXPRO provides 10,000 P/E cycle TLC SSD with -40~ 85°C

wide temperature options. Knowing specific SSD usage scenarios is vital to understanding its ideal suitability and effectiveness in a variety of situations, see below for recommended applications.

Read Intensive
Initial SLC-like turbo write speeds to SLC cache with sudden speed drop off once SLC cache is full.
Applications:

Boot drives or caching devices.
Read-heavy or read-centric workloads
(e.g. digital signage/infotainment).
Minimal data write applications (e.g. POS/POI).

Mixed Use & Write Intensive
Sustained high write speeds equal to MLC speed in direct TLC or SLC mode for high performance needs.
Applications:

Storage drives with high write speed requirements.
High write/low read workloads
(e.g. video surveillance/ edge AI computing devices).
Balanced workloads

(e.g. factory automation/IIoT /autonomic computing/ medical and gaming equipment.

While 3D TLC NAND is well established in the consumer/client market, it has taken longer to enter the industrial and embedded market for the following reasons: 1. Multiple form factors are available, such as 2.5 inch drives, M.2, mSATA, and Half Slim SATA. 2. Product offering includes both SATA and NVMe PCIe solutions. 3. Industrial grade SSD must operate in extreme cold and hot environments. 4. Extended life cycles and continuous read/writes endure many years beyond consumer/client drives. 5. Security feature can be a common option, such as AES encryption with TCG OPAL 2.0. 6. Storage monitoring helps to maintain and manage large deployments easily.
