Securing Performance in Challenging Environments

An industrial flash drive is a type of solid-state storage device specifically designed and built to withstand harsh environmental conditions and operate reliably in industrial settings. Unlike consumer-grade flash drives, which are typically designed for consumer electronics and office environments, industrial flash drives are engineered to endure extreme temperatures, humidity, shock, and vibration commonly encountered in industrial automation, automotive, aerospace, and military applications.

Robust and Reliable Storage Solutions, Resilient to Harsh Environmental Conditions in Industrial Settings

Industrial flash drives often incorporate ruggedized components and advanced features such as power-loss protection, error correction, and wear-leveling algorithms to ensure data integrity and longevity in challenging operating conditions. They come in various form factors, capacities, and interfaces to accommodate different industrial applications, providing reliable and high-performance storage solutions for critical data storage and retrieval needs in industrial environments.

Safeguarding Mission-Critical Data: Innodisk's iCell Technology Protects Against Power Failures in SSDs

Innodisk’s iCell Technology ensures that DRAM-based solid state drive (SSD) can protect mission critical data and prevent data loss during an unexpected power failure. This is achieved by integrated iCells delivering an instantaneous charge to the SSD to make sure the data is safely stored and device can restart without issues.

How Innodisk’s iCell Technology Prevents
SSD Data Loss

SSDs apply DRAM buffering during operations. This makes I/O operations faster and more efficient. iCell Technology takes this architecture a step further by engineering several capacitors on the IC board to provide power buffering after sudden power outage. The capacitors deliver an instantaneous charge after voltage detectors in the circuitry detect a sudden change from regular
5V to low voltage.

Under normal operating conditions – while power supply remains constant – user data (including data in the DRAM buffer) can be written to flash storage. In the case of sudden power failure, there is a potential for data in the buffer to be lost.

The captured data from the two images above clearly illustrates the benefit gained from using
iCell Technology with SSDs. An increase of 60ms of system power allows the controller to flush
data from DRAM to flash storage. iCell Technology offers a valuable data protection mechanism
for the solid-state drive industry. Using capacitors with voltage detectors ensures instant,
reliable and total transfer of buffer data to flash storage. On top of that, iCell’s sophisticated data
buffer management guarantees all buffer data is flushed to the flash chip before total power
loss.
