Product Description
The GLS86FA008G1 / 016G1 / 1032G1 Industrial
Grade miniSATA (mSATA) ArmourDrive™ solid state
drive modules (referred to as “mSATA ArmourDrive” in
this fact sheet) are high-reliability, fully integrated solid
state drives. They combine an 8, 16 or 32 GByte
SATA NANDrive™ and power interrupt data
protection circuit on a printed circuit board (PCB)
module. These products are ideal for portable
applications that require removable form factor and
more reliable data storage.
The integrated 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).
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.
SATA-interface solid state mass storage technology is
widely used in portable and industrial computers, set-
top boxes, test and measurement instrumentation,
multi-functional printers, video and audio recorders,
network servers and car infotainment systems.
mSATA ArmourDrive’s advanced NAND management
technology enhances data reliability and security,
improves endurance and accurately estimates the
remaining life of the NAND flash devices. This
innovative technology combines robust NAND
controller hardware error correction capabilities with
advanced wear-leveling algorithms and bad block
management to significantly extend the life of the
product.
mSATA ArmourDrive is a removable solid state drive
(SSD) that provides the functionality and compatibility
of a complete SATA hard disk drive (HDD) in a 29.85
mm x 50.80 mm form factor. These products surpass
traditional storage in their small size, security,
reliability, ruggedness and low power consumption.
mSATA ArmourDrive is offered in a standard JEDEC
52-pin PCB module form factor.
These specifications are subject to change without notice.
