| |  155GB SCSI Solid state HDD anyone?
At 3.5", with U320 and an operting temperature range of -60C to +95C, coupled with access times of 42 micro seconds and a sustained re-write rate of 44MB/sec, its looks to be quite the hard drive  .  | Quote: |  | | | | | | | | | | DSEi 2005, London, England - September 13, 2005 - BiTMICRO® Networks, a pioneer in intelligent flash IDE/ATA, SCSI, Fibre Channel and VME solid state disk storage solutions, today announced at the Defence Systems and Equipment International (DSEi) 2005 show in London, England the availability of a military-grade version of the E-Disk 3S320, the world's first Ultra320 SCSI solid-state flash storage. The move follows the successful rollout of the E-Disk U320 SCSI flash disk in October 2004.
Designed for extreme environments, the E-Disk® Ultra320 SCSI can operate from
-60 degrees centigrade to +95 degrees centigrade and is designed to handle operating shock of up to 1500 Gs, making it an ideal storage solution for scientific missions and reconnaissance flights where data recording opportunities are critical. This pure solid state/non-volatile drive is OS independent and is targeted to provide up to 42 microsecond access time, 12,500 IOPS (max) and 2 million hours MTBF. Sustained R/W rate is 44 MB/sec (max) and burst R/W rate is 320 MB/sec (max).
Available in a 3.5-inch form factor, maximum capacity for the E-Disk® Ultra320 SCSI is pegged at 155 GB. The completely bootable drive comes with either a half pitch DB68 or SCA-2 ANSI compliant connector and does not require any device driver for proper operation.
"The ruggedized version of the E-Disk® Ultra320 SCSI flash drive brings solid-state storage to the next level by reaching extremes in performance and durability," says Rudy Bruce, President of BiTMICRO® Networks. "Reconnaissance flights and commercial scientific expeditions, especially those performed in the polar regions, can cost thousands if not millions of dollars. By relying on BiTMICRO solutions, scientists can be assured that critical info will not go to waste as a result of a defective storage device," Bruce adds.
OS Compatibility
The E-Disk Ultra320 SCSI product line is fully compatible with major platforms such as Linux, Solaris, Windows, MacOS and LynxOS, AIX, FreeBSD, HP-UX, IRIX, NetBSD, OS/2, QNX, VxWorks, SCO Unixware and Open Server, Solaris x86, and Tru64.
Faster and more reliable than previous versions of SCSI, Ultra320 offers packetized SCSI, an innovative protocol that creates a more efficient method of transferring commands, messages, status, and data between SCSI devices. Other key features include skew compensation, domain validation, double-transition data transfers, free-running clock and cyclic redundancy check.
