Micro memory for harsh industrial environments

The SST NANDrive™ family consists of high-performance, fully-integrated solid-state drives, with a host of features that make them ideal for industrial, embedded and mobile storage applications.

NANDrive memory offers up to 8GB of cost-effective storage contained within the smallest package-size embedded memory solution available today. The compact BGA package enables secure and cost-effective mounting to a system motherboard, and is completely free from the fragility of mechanical working parts or connectors. In addition, NANDrive is qualified for -40°C to 85°C industrial operation, and do not require additional protection circuitry that adds cost and complication to other memory solutions, such as miniature HDD. This product family also includes additional security features to protect confidential information, and advanced wear-levelling algorithms to substantially increase the endurance of Flash media.

NANDrive products are instantly compatible with ATA/IDE formats, and offer the flexibility to operate with many other interfaces. On-chip Flash-based firmware controls parameters, and can be regularly updated to accommodate new NAND devices.

This offers significant benefits over ROM-based controllers, which require an expensive and time-consuming mask change in order to accommodate new NAND devices.
