miniSATA

(mSATA)

ArmourDrive™ EX Series modules (referred to as

“mSATA ArmourDrive” in this factsheet) are high-

endurance, high-reliability solid state drives. They

include a 4 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128 GByte SATA

NANDrive™ on a printed circuit board (PCB).

mSATA ArmourDrive is ideal for applications that

require removable form factor and more reliable data

storage. mSATA solid state storage technology is

widely used in industrial computers, set-top boxes,

test

and

measurement

instrumentation,

multi-

functional printers, medical equipment, security and

surveillance systems, network servers and digital

signage. These removable solid state drives (SSDs)

surpass traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) in their

small size, security, reliability, ruggedness and low

power consumption.

The NAND flash controller with built-in advanced

NAND management firmware communicates with the

host through the standard SATA protocol. It does not

require any additional or proprietary software such as

the Flash File System (FFS) and Memory Technology

Driver (MTD). The firmware effectively optimizes the

use of NAND flash memory’s program/erase (P/E)

cycles and minimizes write amplification.

mSATA ArmourDrive is pre-programmed with a 10-

Byte unique serial ID

and has the option of

programming an additional 10-Byte serial ID for even

greater system security.

mSATA ArmourDrive’s advanced NAND management

technology

improves

endurance,

enhances

data

security and helps prevent data corruption during

unexpected power failure events. This innovative

technology combines robust NAND flash controller

hardware error correction capabilities with advanced

wear-leveling algorithms and bad block management

to improve data reliability and significantly extend the

life of the product.

mSATA ArmourDrive is available in a standard

JEDEC 52-pin PCB module form factor.
