Features of Storage Products for Embedded and Industrial Applications
[Copy link]
Embedded or industrial storage devices are highly customized products, which is because they need to meet various industries, platforms and specifications. This decision will be evaluated from the following aspects: Performance Different customers have different performance requirements. For example, for server applications, customers focus on fast sequential reads and writes, and some strengthen 4K random reads and writes, which meet the performance of system disks. Industrial control production equipment is more related to the stability of read and write, avoiding abnormalities in the production process, and is different from the consumer level. Environment The equipment can not only be installed indoors, but also built in mountainous areas, oceans or sealed spaces. A wide temperature range, impact resistance, corrosion resistance, moisture resistance, etc. are required. Interface and Form Factor Different form factors can be designed according to customer specifications, and can be used as PCIe, SATA, USB or SD card interface, equipped with 2.5" SSD, mSATA, M.2. 0.5pt]Firmware Each industry requires the use of different firmware, such as data partition security, power-off protection, write protection/read-only, etc. Software or application SMARTtools for monitoring device status. Embedded or industrial storage devices are different from commercial products. Not only are they difficult to replace, but they also require lifelong use. Based on the above characteristics, industrial/embedded storage manufacturers must establish a team with technology, design and service to support customized requirements.
