What Is an Industrial SSD?
Industrial SSDs are a type of SSD, and as the name suggests, they are SSDs that are built into industrial equipment and devices.
SSD stands for Solid State Drive, which reads and writes necessary data to memory chips built into equipment.
SSDs have features such as shock resistance, high data read/write speeds, and the small size of the chip itself. Industrial SSD is a storage media with even higher performance than these features.
Uses of Industrial SSDs
Uses of Industrial SSDs are in places where high durability and high quality are required, such as in the manufacturing industry, in polar regions with extreme temperature differences, and in medical equipment.
The range of applications extends from large stationary equipment to portable devices that can be easily transported.
SSDs have been used mostly in the industrial field, but in recent years, they have also been applied to office products and home appliances.
This means that high durability and high-speed performance are now required for products that are familiar to us.
Characteristics of Industrial SSDs
Industrial SSDs are almost the same as general SSDs, with some differences.
One is high endurance, allowing for use in a wide range of temperatures. The basic temperature range is 0 to 85°C, but there are also extended temperature versions that can operate at -30 to 85°C.
The second is the realization of long-term availability. Industrial SSDs are constantly reading and writing data and storing huge amounts of data. However, the memory chips also wear out and fail.
While SLC is highly durable and reliable, it is not suitable for large capacities.
However, technological advances have solved the large-capacity problem, and SLC is now used in industrial SSDs.
Third is the high speed of data read/write. Read/write speeds range from 3000 to 3470 MB/sec. Although it depends on the product, this is about six times faster than ordinary SSDs, which are approximately 500 MB/sec.
