M-Systems (Nasdaq: FLSH), a leader in flash disk data storage products, announced today that its 3.5" Ultra-Wide SCSI Fast Flash Disk (FFD) is now available in capacities up to 17.4 Gigabytes (17,408MB). This represents an increase of 70% over the previous top capacity of 10.2 Gigabytes.
The 3.5" FFD Ultra-Wide SCSI is a high-performance solid-state flash disk with a burst read/write rate of 40.0MB per second, a sustained read rate of 28.5MB per second and a sustained write rate of 23.5MB per second.
Designed for systems that require high performance while maintaining top data reliability under harsh environmental conditions, M-Systems' FFD 3.5" Ultra-Wide SCSI is an ideal solution for military and airborne systems, video and audio servers, telecommunications systems and high availability computing systems.
"The FFD Ultra-Wide SCSI offers an extremely reliable storage solution for applications demanding high performance with a SCSI interface," said Ofer Tsur, M-Systems' FFD marketing director. "Leading military customers have already chosen our FFD Ultra-Wide SCSI as their COTS [Commercial-Off-The-Shelf] solid state storage solution for Radar, Sonar, Data Recorders and other mission-critical applications."
M-Systems' 3.5" FFD solid-state flash disk with an ultra-wide SCSI interface is available now in capacities ranging from 256MB to 17,408MB. Please contact your M-Systems representative for purchase information.
M-Systems' Fast Flash Disk (FFD) products are state-of-the-art solid-state disks based on NAND flash technology. The 3.5" Ultra-Wide SCSI FFD is fully compatible with SCSI-3 and SCSI-2 interfaces available with standard 68-pin or SCA 80-pin connectors that can be used as a drop-in replacement for standard 3.5" Ultra-Wide SCSI magnetic hard disks.
In conjunction with the 3.5" Ultra-Wide SCSI FFD, M-Systems' state-of-the-art TrueFFS® technology with its dynamic wear-leveling algorithm provides enhanced endurance and maximum data integrity. The quick security erase feature found on M-Systems' FFD products enables defense customers to totally erase the entire disk media within 5 seconds.
In addition to the 3.5" Ultra-Wide SCSI FFD, M-Systems offers additional FFD solid-state flash disk products in 2.5" IDE, 2.5" Narrow SCSI and 3.5" Narrow SCSI form factors.
