Product Description
The GLS86FC008G9 / 016G9 / 032G9 / 064G9
Industrial Grade miniSATA (mSATA) ArmourDrive™
EX Series modules (referred to as “mSATA
ArmourDrive” in this factsheet) are ultra-high
endurance, high-reliability solid state drives. They
include an 8, 16, 32 or 64 GByte SATA NANDrive™
on a printed circuit board (PCB).
the Flash File System (FFS) and Memory Technology
Driver (MTD). The firmware effectively optimizes the
use of NAND flash memory’s program/erase (P/E)
cycles and minimizes write amplification.
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.
mSATA ArmourDrive is ideal for applications that
require removable form factor and more reliable data
storage. mSATA solid state storage technology is
widely used in industrial computers, set-top boxes,
test and measurement instrumentation, multi-
functional printers, medical equipment, security and
surveillance systems, network servers and digital
signage. These removable solid state drives (SSDs)
surpass traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) in their
small size, security, reliability, ruggedness and low
power consumption.
mSATA ArmourDrive’s advanced NAND management
technology improves endurance, enhances data
security and helps prevent data loss during
unexpected power failure events. This innovative
technology combines robust NAND controller
hardware error correction capabilities with advanced
wear-leveling algorithms and bad block management
to improve data reliability and significantly extend the
life of the product.
mSATA ArmourDrive is available in a standard
JEDEC 52-pin PCB module form factor.
The 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
