What is the SSD Unit? |
|
|
The SSD (solid-state drive) Unit is
one of flash memory devices. It can be handled as same
as the Hard Disk Unit for the PL3000 series (referred to
as the HDD Unit) made by Pro-face, and you can install
an OS into it. The SSD Unit has less memory capacity
than the HDD Unit. However, because it has no moving
parts such as a motor and an actuator arm, it has
superior environment resistance (including high
temperature, vibration, and shock) and allows you to
build a long-life system with a low failure
rate. Also, because of extremely low read latency
times, the SSD Unit is useful when data written once is
frequently read, such as OS startup and application
launch.

Features |
- |
With no moving parts, the SSD Unit
provides lower failure rate and higher shock
durability than the HDD Unit. |
- |
Guaranteed write cycles: 100,000
cycles *1 |
- |
The SSD unit uses the SLC type
*2 , which has high
reliability in data writing |
- |
High reading speed |
- |
Low power consumption required (1/3
less power consumption than the HDD Unit.) |
- |
Silent |
- |
Same installation as that of the
HDD Unit (due to the same external
dimensions) Installation
of the SSD Unit |
- |
With 16GB of very large flash
memory, you can use the same environment as normal
PCs. |
- |
High-speed data transmission via
the Serial ATA |
- |
The write cycle monitoring feature
will tell you the time for replacement. Write
Cycle Monitoring Feature |
- |
SSD units with Windows XP
Professional (Japanese/Multilanguage) preinstalled
and without an operating system are available.

NOTE |
*1 |
Supporting wear levelling, the
SSD Unit has more write cycles than conventional
flash memory devices. |
*2 |
One of the storage methods for
writing data. There are two types: SLC (Single
Level Cell) and MLC (Multi Level Cell). SLC
is faster and has 10 times more write cycle than
MLC.
