Greenliant Shipping SATA ArmourDrive SSDs with Ultra-High Endurance of 300K PE Cycles

[btarunr]

Greenliant is now shipping mSATA and SATA M.2 2242 ArmourDrive EX Series solid state drives (SSDs) with EnduroSLC Technology for superior data retention and high endurance ranging from 60K and 120K to the industry-leading 300K program-erase (P/E) cycles. Built with Greenliant's advanced in-house controllers, these SSDs are available in 10 GB, 20 GB, 40 GB, 80 GB, 160 GB and 320 GB capacities.

mSATA and SATA M.2 2242 ArmourDrive EX Series SSDs are included in Greenliant's Long-Term Availability (LTA) program (http://bit.ly/SSD-LTA-program), providing customers with a stable portfolio of high-endurance data storage products for up to 10 years. Greenliant is also shipping mSATA and SATA M.2 2242 / 2280 ArmourDrive PX Series SSDs using cost-effective industrial 3-bit-per-cell (TLC) 3D NAND. These SSDs support 5K P/E cycles and are available in 64 GB, 128 GB, 256 GB and 512 GB capacities.



ArmourDrive EX and PX Series SSDs operate at industrial temperatures (-40 to +85 degrees Celsius) and support the SATA 6 Gb/s interface. SATA is a widely used high-speed interface suitable for embedded storage design in industrial, medical, aerospace, security, networking and transportation systems.

ArmourDrive solid state storage products have advanced power-fail data protection—SATA M.2 2280 ArmourDrive includes additional power loss protection (PLP) circuitry for greater data integrity. They are also rigorously tested for shock and vibration to withstand the most extreme environments.

Availability
Greenliant's high endurance mSATA and SATA M.2 ArmourDrive EX and PX Series SSDs are available for volume production now.

The heck is a P/E cycle, why not use industry standard TBW?


I found this googling the term
5K P/E cycles is high for TLC, but poor for MLC

Their M.2 SATA drives had 60K P/E cycles

This is from another PDF, which I think is this series

and the PX

They should advertise the TBW figures, they're miles above generic consumer hardware

Price of 320GB EX model, possible of this new series lol! In mouser electronics. I'll found offer only there. Will not post direct link because topic is not for trading.

Sweet, perfect for NAS/SAN write caches.

I go through MLC drives like the 970Pro occasionally on >200TB NAS arrays, I daren't use TLC drives, they'd pop within a year of light use I think.

Buying SLC enterprise drives is actually quite difficult without some salesman trying to get their commission and convincing you to buy one of their off-the-peg hardware solutions from EMC/HPE/NetAPP or whatever. "NO! I'm building my own array because this is tier-two storage and can't justify your costs, fool!"

P/E cycles is an industry standard. READ the article slowly and carefully. They are talking specifically about the endurance of the SLC nand, not the SSD. TBW/DWPD is the endurance of the SSD. The endurance of the nand itself was always measured in P/E cycles ever since flash memory was invented. Maybe if you leave your cave more often you would know this.
The reason why they use P/E cycles is because their target market is the embedded storage market, not the average joe consumer caveman like you. In embedded storage, p/e cycles have long been in use before SSDs came about for embedded usage, with eMMC and UFS storage being the norm in embedded storage for so many years even until now. If I had always been using eMMC/UFS storage for my device which uses p/e cycles to determine its endurance, how do I compare the endurance of my current devices with these newfangled SSDs if they used TBW/DWPD. Both have to be using the same standards to be compared so that it justifies my meeting with my boss telling him how his company should change to SSDs so that our products last longer. Or maybe they won't last longer, but will have comparable endurance while having way higher consistent performance. TBW/DWPD is useless in the embedded industry. You need to realize you are not the only human on the planet.

erase cycles have been industry standard for several years, just that TBW dominates marketing over it.
