The E-Disk Altima Ultra320 SCSI flash SSD is expected to deliver a rigid host of storage advantages, including sustained data transfer rates of up to 230 MB/sec (peaking at 320 MB/sec in burst mode). The E3S320 flash solid state drive will utilize single-level cell (SLC) NAND flash.

Given their mission critical nature and hostile operating environments, military, aerospace and industrial applications impose higher performance, security, and reliability standards for storage. E-Disk Altima Ultra320 SCSI solid state drive’s rugged specifications are projected to exceed these requirements by far, with operating temperatures between –40 degrees C to 85 degrees C, operating shock of up to 1500 Gs, and patented securErase and PowerGuard technologies.

“Military, industrial, and enterprise applications need rugged, reliable, and high performance storage solutions manufactured to their strict requirements,” says Jeff Janukowicz, Research Manager for Solid State Drives at IDC. “SSDs deliver in these demanding applications that are not well served by other storage solutions. IDC expects over 60% of the worldwide SSD revenue in 2008 to come from these market segments.”

Sampling for the E-Disk Altima Ultra320 SCSI solid state disk is expected to begin in Q2 2008 and will ship in volume by Q3 2008 in capacities ranging from 16GB to 1.6TB.
