Industrial mSATA SSD - SATA Solid State Drives
The mSATA (or Mini-SATA) is a slim industrial storage option (roughly the size of a business card) for industrial applications that require solid-state storage in a much smaller footprint than a 2.5” SSD. They are the form factor of choice for applications with limited physical space, and uncompromised performance is essential. The MO-300 mechanical standard, managed by JEDEC, includes an integrated edge connector similar in appearance to mini PCIe, but with SATA connectivity.
While mSATA began as a commercial form factor, it quickly gained traction for embedded applications, due to its small size, low power consumption, performance, ruggedness and availability in industrial configurations. Now that compute designs have moved to newer form factors and higher performance interfaces, mSATA has become more of a legacy product. Delkin continues to support mSATA through a variety of product offerings – in both SLC and Industrial 3D flash options, in capacities ranging from 4GB to 1TB, in commercial and industrial operating temperatures.
SATA Interface
With regard to the SATA (an abbreviation for Serial AT Attachment) interface, revision 1.0 was introduced in 2003 with a maximum theoretical data rate of 1.5 Gbits/second. Revision 2.0 followed in 2004 with a transfer rate of 3.0 Gbits/second, and in 2008, Revision 3.0 increased the theoretical performance to 6.0 Gbits/second.
Delkin offers industrial-grade mSATA SSD’s supporting SATA revision 3.0 (backward compatible to 2.0 / 1.0) in both SLC A370 series and Industrial 3D flash options – offering endurance and cost options to match the specific needs of any embedded application.
Industrial SSD Customization Options
Delkin Industrial mSATA SSD’s can be customized to suit your application or host specific parameters. Requests for custom labeling, packaging, data loading, unique formatting and over-provisioning, conformal coating, additional testing, special screening, and more can be easily accommodated.
