(TAIPEI, Taiwan - November 19, 2012) - InnoDisk, a worldwide leading manufacturer of industrial data storage solutions, is proud to announce a series of flash products with a new and exclusive technology-- iSLC [2IE series], designed to outdo the endurance, performance and reliability of MLC-based solutions. Through the use of flash management algorithms, iSLC improves SSD endurance up to 30,000 times, increasing lifespans to at least 10 times longer than MLC-based solutions. In addition, iSLC improves the performance of solid state drives, with similar write performance of SLC-based solutions, and with data quality that is on par with SLC technologies. The InnoDisk iSLC series is extremely cost efficient, boasting excellent benefits at only half the price of SLC-based solutions.

For many years, the flash industry has known SLC NAND flash to be more reliable and maintain longer endurance than MLC, and was in turn accepted it as the best choice for industrial and enterprise applications, albeit at the expense of increased costs. While MLC flash has become attractive in recent years as a cost-saving alternative to SLC, both the endurance and performance will almost certainly decrease in the near future. To compensate for flash technology node progression (from 4xnm to 2xnm), flash manufacturers would need to specify more error correction code (ECC) to achieve a higher endurance. According to recent testing data, 5xnm MLC requires ECC capabilities to be 8 bits, while 2xnm MLC requires that ECC capabilities be increased to 24 bits. InnoDisk is disrupting the industry, providing an answer amid economic concerns, with new iSLC technology, the 2IE product series.

Delivering greater endurance, and nearly SLC performance

According to our testing results, 2IE products with iSLC can estimate to sustain 32GB capacity drive writes per day for 7.6 years, outdoing the MLC drive at least 10 times.

InnoDisk prides itself in the ability to customize our products to your needs. We´ve developed the 2IE series with different form factors, including 2.5" SATA SSD, mSATA, SATASlim and CFast. For example, the capacity of the SATA SSD 2.5" 2IE ranges from 16GB to 256GB, supports SATA II interface, and has sequential read and write speeds of up to 240/220 MB/sec with 8 channels. This is comparable with the SLC performance of similar products (for reference, SLC sequential read and write speeds are up to 250/230 MB/sec with 8 channels).

With a variety of form factors, customized firmware solutions, and innovative R&D capabilities, InnoDisk is the best solution for all of your industrial storage needs.
