STEC Launches New Generation of Solid State Drives for Embedded Markets
March 01 2010 - 5:00PM
STEC, Inc. (Nasdaq:STEC) today announces at Embedded World 2010
that it is currently sampling SlimSATA and SATA-CF SSDs, STEC's
newest line of solid-state drives ("SSDs") for the embedded
markets. STEC's family of embedded SSDs are ideal for applications
such as single board computers and embedded/industrial PCs used in
a wide variety of industries including networking and telecom,
manufacturing, automotive and medical. Other applications such as
storage virtualization, server blade management, and storage
caching are also emerging in the Enterprise space.
In today's embedded markets, system builders are relying less on
traditional Parallel ATA (PATA) interface technology within their
embedded system designs and are trending towards other more robust
storage interface alternatives such as Serial ATA (SATA). STEC
embedded SSDs address this trend with a form factor half the size
of a mobile hard disk drive (HDD), typically measuring 2.5 in.
Initially offered in capacities of up to 64GB with industrial range
temperatures, STEC's Embedded SSDs offer superior random read
performance of 15,000 IOPS and 6,000 IOPS Random Writes and
transfer rates of up to 135MB/s reads and 130MB/s writes. Because
these SSDs deliver solid performance in small packages, system
designers are afforded greater design flexibility and reduced cost
of ownership when compared to existing HDD technologies.
"Increasing demand for high-performance and high-reliability
SSDs within the embedded markets is a trend we are beginning to see
and on which we have put ourselves in a position to capitalize,"
said Manouch Moshayedi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
STEC. "The introduction of our new lines of small form factor SSDs
for embedded applications is in line with our strategy to help
proliferate the use of SSDs across a broad range of applications.
Just as we have helped to usher in the use of SSDs in the
high-end Enterprise market, we intend to bring the latest SSD
advancements to our customers in the embedded community, many of
whom have been long-time STEC partners."
