Leading industrial storage and memory provider, Cervoz Technology, introduces the T436 Family: state-of-the-art Industrial PCIe NVMe Gen3x4 SSDs. Compatible with the PCIe Gen3x4 interface, NVMe protocol, and M.2 2280 form factor, the series is a perfect fit for both booting and storage in PCs and motherboards. What sets the T436 SSDs apart is Cervoz's proprietary Power Loss Protection technology. In an era dominated by rapid IoT and AI advancements, our dependency on data is paramount. With global energy fluctuations driven by soaring computing needs, there's more than just a call for swifter data management. It's crucial to protect our data from potential power inconsistencies.

Guarding Data Against Power Instability
The standout feature of the T436 is its advanced PLP (Power Loss Protection) technology. Power disruptions have long been a challenge for SSDs, making valuable data vulnerable to corruption or loss, threatening both data integrity and operational continuity. The T436 SSDs integrate the Powerguard technology to combat these challenges. Upon an unexpected power dip, Powerguard activates instantly, drawing additional power from tantalum capacitors, ensuring that any data within the DRAM buffer is written back to the NAND Flash. Typically, average SSDs require around 40 ms of backup power discharge to complete the data write-in task, influenced by the data's complexity or size. With Cervoz's Powerguard, the buffer time from a power dip to potential failure extends impressively to 88 ms, ensuring that all data has ample time to be written fully.




All of the above is just a part of Cervoz's comprehensive PLP technology. When combined with Safeguard's VDT (Voltage Detector) mechanism, Voltguard's voltage stabilization, and Circuitguard's defense against abnormal currents, Cervoz's PLP offers unrivaled protection against data loss due to power disturbances, ensuring the integrity and security of your essential data.

Uncompromised Speed and Reliability
The T436 family of SSDs is not just about speed; it's also about reliability. With features that range from compliance with NVMe 1.3/PCI Express Base 3.1 standards to the incorporation of industry-leading SSD-grade-quality TLC flash memory from Kioxia, the T436 is designed for efficiency. Moreover, the Cervoz firmware features a robust ECC algorithm—Low-Density Parity Check (LDPC) decoding—together with the End-to-End Data Protection method, ensuring data reliability and integrity. Recognizing the heat generated by high performance, the T436 is available in a wide-temperature version that can reliably operate from -40°C to 85°C. Additionally, the integrated SW-HW overheating protection mechanism, complemented by an optimized heatsink, ensures effective heat dissipation, guaranteeing optimum performance at all times.

Why Cervoz T436 SSDs?
With capacities ranging from 240 GB to 1920 GB, a broad operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, dynamic thermal throttling, DRAM Buffer, AES 256-bit encryption, and more, the T436 family offers a comprehensive solution tailored for businesses seeking both performance and unwavering reliability. Whether the need is for rapid data access or consistent operations in power-critical situations, the T436 ensures that businesses stay at the forefront of efficiency and reliability.

Why develop for the PCIe 3.0 standard now? Unless I'm misreading it. Higher capacities would be nice as well.

Industrial temperature range is probably the answer. Operation at 85°C means that low power dissipation is desired, and Gen 4 controllers are hotter than Gen 3.
Also, even though I don't see that in the specs of this particular model: industrial SSDs may have things like guaranteed maximum latency, despite lower speed. If your computers controls some real-time process, it matters.

@80251
not everyone's main objective is having mmoooorre space for some porn dl :D
when you have stuff with mil/gov or medical use, stability/reliability trump capacity/speed.
 
i rather have MLC..
But you know that wishing for that is like wishing for punched cards to come back ... The humanity has a long history of trying to compress too many rabbits in a hat, just look at what Wikipedia says:

@Wirko
just because something isnt the "latest" has no impact on quality, nor did i state anything about going back in time to use old stuff.
look up what the write cycles for the different types are, now getting even worse with QLC doing ~100.
i rather have a pcie 3.0 4x mlc drive, using part nand as slc cache, than any 5.0 drive using tlc or qlc., no matter the speed.

once you loose data, you will see why.
ignoring for a moment that you can do 1bit/cell native cache with less impact on capacity than on tlc

The 960 GB version, which is the largest made for industrial temperature range, has an endurance rating of 1406 TB. You need to calculate how much data your application writes per year - it should be very much predictable in industrial systems that run only a small set of applications/tasks. Then you decide if you can trust the Cervoz brand and their endurance numbers, and buy or not buy based on that.
 
my last response, as your clearly ignoring my answer or dont have an argument to support your "new is better",
never said anything about the quality of this drive nor its use, or if i trust a brand.
 
@Wirko, wasn't the 8087 a math co-processor? That's what I seem to remember, it wouldn't work without an 8088 or 8086 CPU being installed.

Exactly. It wasn't a standalone processor. But this rule had an interesting twist years later - see what Wikipedia has to say about the 80487.

Let me divert the topic for a while. The Phison representative on these forums, Chris Ramseyer, hinted that we would soon see SLC SSDs with their controllers. Let's see if any of those reach the consumer space (but I doubt it).
