Plug mini-SSDs for SATA 6G and USB 3.0
·
Called Disk-on-Module (DOM) that can plugs directly to the internal SATA port on the motherboard, are popular in embedded and industrial systems or slim rack servers with limited space as a power-saving and silent boot storage. The storage specialist Innodisk has been stuck in SATADOM SSD SATA II ports, which thanks to a special pinout on newer Intel Server Boards with Romley-EP platform - unlike conventional SATA storage - its power even straight from the SATA port can relate.
At the Flash Memory Summit, which takes place just in Silicon Valley, announced Innodisk, the supply of SATADOM SSDs continue to increase copies with SATA 6G interface. You are with up to 64 GB or 128 GB with SLC and MLC memory chips early next year on the market and data with up to 400 MB / s read and 200 MB transferred / s write. According to the manufacturer to the new SATADOM SSDs while flash controller come from our own development to deployment.
At the booth, they had not yet seen, but also the new OS drives for USB 3.0 ports, which it probably should also be at the beginning of next year in similar capacities. Windows 8 and Linux can boot from such USB 3.0 storage devices, but it works only on some brand new motherboards also in SuperSpeed mode. The OS Drives then create according to manufacturer 200 MB / s read and 90 MB / s write.
In the category of strange and adventurous the new memory card type CF-SATA are classified. They are apart from the product label indistinguishable from conventional compact flash cards and use the same 50-pin connector, transferred here about but not IDE, but SATA signals - it is not to CFast card with SATA interface.
CF to SATA cards can be used on embedded boards alternately with conventional CF cards as boot storage in conventional CF slots. With 120 MB / s read and 90 MB / s when writing it, despite the faster SATA-II interface in practice faster than conventional CF cards, but could provide greater I / O performance. Innodisk she offers 4 to 64 GB and "iSLC flash" on. It should be particularly robust to (e) MLC memory chips which absorb up to 30 000 write cycles.
Innodisk the CompactFlash Association (CFA) CF-SATA has proposed as a new standard. There but it shows you are not enthusiastic: Anyone using CF-SATA cards about accidentally in current cameras with CF slot can damage them irreparebel.
Ichiro (Mike) Asao of the CFA, the heise online asked on the stand, pointed instead to the existing CFast format. Here is version 2.0 of the specification already in progress, with the interface speed to be increased from 3 to 6 Gbit / s. With Canon and SanDisk, the format has found prominent supporters - still has CFast far become established in either the embedded still in the camera world so far. At least the latter could soon change: According Asao Arri and Leica cameras are now planning for the first time with CFast slot - at Photokina in Cologne in September may learn more.
