SATA and ATA Disk Chips Overcome Vibration Impact - Directly Attached Flash SSD

Posted by Samuel Nakhimovsky on Monday, 17 Feb 2014

SATA and ATA Disk Chip

One of the most often heard customer suggestions about the SSD or Flash card products is that neither product category offers a good reliable connection in a high vibration environment. SSDs, Flash card and module are most often mated to the motherboard through a male/female socket and connector. This interconnect doesn't offer a reliable attachment, especially in a high vibration application. Over time the connector pins wear out and lose signal integrity, therefore causing drive failures or intermittent system operation.

The request has been to develop a directly attached Flash storage product to have a common socket/pin-out for easy capacity migration, offer sizable capacity and high reliability.

Weather Balloon with Data Acquisition Payload

One of our customers has a peculiar requirement for our SSDs. They have to be able to function 20,000 feet up in the air. What a challenge !!!

Turns out he is manufacturing special equipment that measures atmospheric content of the stratosphere which is extends around 31 miles (50 km) down to about 4 to 12 miles (6 to 20 km) above the Earth's surface. This layer contains 19 percent of the atmosphere's gases. Monitoring the content of this layer gives scientists critical information about air pollution, volcanic activity, atmospheric changes, and even radiation fall out.
