Why ELC Products Are Essential for Industrial Devices
For industrial devices and applications, a long lifecycle for flash memory is important for many different reasons. Without a long lifecycle, memory will fail too quickly, which will dramatically increase the cost of keeping devices functional and up to date. Frequent memory failures can also lead to unexpected failures in the field, which c
Communications Applications Embedded Systems
Within communications applications, flash memory in the form of embedded systems plays many roles. There are enormous demands on industrial flash memory when it comes to communication applications, from the need for high-density, fail-safe systems to wireless applications that are used in environments with high temperatures and high levels of shock a
Secure Erase Data Features in Flash Memory
An unavoidable issue that is associated with all electronics is data security. From individual smartphone users to major retailers that store sensitive data, maintaining the security of information stored on electronic devices is of major importance. Unfortunately, if electronic devices are lost or if private information remains on devices after they a
FAQs about Flash Disk SATA
SATA, or Serial ATA, is an interface that is used to create a connection between storage devices and the computer system in which they are used. SATA replaced PATA as the most common interface after its introduction in 2000, thanks to thinner connector cables and faster data transfer capacities. With several redesigns over the […]
Industrial Flash Storage for Driving Automation
Flash memory may not be the first thing people think about when they consider cars, but as vehicle technology advances, cars are becoming more and more data driven. Fully automated cars rely on an enormous amount of data, but even cars that don’t fall into that category have automated systems that utilize flash memory. […]
How Delkin Helped One Customer Overcome SD Card Lifespan Concerns
The evolution of flash technology has been a good thing for developers and end users. However, it has created some complications. It has become more difficult to compare memory devices to determine which one is the best fit for a device and which will have the longest lifespan. Instead of simply choosing between SLC […]
What Are the Benefits of High Endurance Flash Storage?
When choosing flash memory, one of the most important factors to consider is endurance. Though every application’s endurance needs are unique, choosing the appropriate level of endurance will generally prevent problems with device failures and help to reduce costs. For many developers, choosing the highest level of endurance for flash memo
Flash Disk SATA Drives
Flash disk SATA drives are solid state drives or hard disk drives that use the SATA interface. The SATA interface forms the connection between the data on the drive and the main computer system. SATA replaced PATA—previously known simply as ATA—as an interface, and was favored thanks to its thinner, flexible cables, faster speeds, […]
Flash Storage Encryption
Every file stored on a flash device is important, but some information requires more than a basic level of security. For many military and industrial applications, information is so sensitive that it must be protected from outside intrusion through encryption. With flash storage encryption, any data that falls into the wrong hands will not […]
