Greenliant revealed on Wednesday that it has began shipments of its new industrial-grade ArmourDrive M.2 SSDs. The enhanced-durability drives are rated to function in a a lot wider vary of temperatures than business drives and can be found in each NVMe and SATA codecs, with capacities from 240 GB as much as 1.92 TB.
Greenliant’s ArmourDrive 88PX-series NVMe M.2-2280/PCIe 3.Zero x4 SSDs and ArmourDrive 87PX-series SATA M.2-2280 SSDs are designed to function in temperatures between -40°C and +85°C. The drives use 3D TLC NAND reminiscence, function a DRAM cache, and are based mostly on an unknown/unlisted controller that help LDPC-based ECC, end-to-end knowledge safety, dynamic and static put on leveling, AES-256/TCG OPAL encryption, and Secure Erase capabilities.
As far as efficiency is worried, the Greenliant ArmourDrive 88PX NVMe SSDs are rated for as much as 3400 MB/s sequential learn speeds in addition to as much as 1100 MB/s sequential write speeds. Meanwhile, the Greenliant ArmourDrive 87PX SATA SSDs supply as much as 550 MB/s sequential learn speeds in addition to as much as 520 MB/s sequential write speeds.

Greenliant will not be the primary firm to ship TLC-based M.2 drives that may work in excessive environments, however it’s among the many first suppliers to begin promoting 1.92 TB drives for industrial temperature ranges. Building high-capacity SSDs for industrial functions will not be significantly straightforward since they use multi-layered chips all of which ought to work high-quality when this can be very chilly or extraordinarily sizzling.
The firm doesn’t disclose costs of its ArmourDrive 88PX NVMe and ArmourDrive 87PX SATA SSDs, as costs rely on the amount ordered in addition to different elements.
