Product Description
The GLS87BQ240G3 / 480G3 / 960G3 / 1T923
Industrial Temperature SATA M.2 ArmourDrive™ PX
Series modules (referred to as “M.2 ArmourDrive” in
this factsheet) are high-performance, high-reliability
solid state drives. They combine 240, 480 or 960
GBytes, or 1.92 TByte of NAND flash memory with
DRAM and an advanced Serial ATA (SATA) controller
on a printed circuit board (PCB).
The SATA SSD 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). The firmware effectively optimizes the
use of NAND flash memory’s program/erase (P/E)
cycles and minimizes write amplification.
M.2 ArmourDrive is ideal for applications that require
removable form factor and more reliable data storage.
SATA M.2 solid state storage technology is widely
used in industrial computers, 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.
M.2 ArmourDrive’s advanced NAND management
technology improves endurance, enhances data
security and helps prevent data corruption 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.
M.2 ArmourDrive is available in a standard 2280
(22mm x 80mm) module form factor.
These specifications are subject to change without notice.
