SATA Disk on Module - SQF-SDM

The new SATA 7-pin DOM utilises a SATA interface in a vertical module configuration. SQF-SDM provides excellent shock and vibration resistance and is an ideal and reliable storage solution for industrial PCs, embedded systems, gaming machines, POS, medical devices, automation systems, and networking infrastructure.

High Reliability Controller and Flash
SQF-SDM is the smallest flash-based solid-state drive available and uses SLC NAND flash memory, making it ideal as an embedded SSD solution. SSD comprises of flash memory that stores data, and a controller that controls the flash memory. SQF-SDM uses the SSD controller developed by TDK which provides high-speed, high-reliability storage functions. The TDK controller spreads the wear-leveling across the entire drive allowing all blocks to participate and distributes the data so that all blocks are worn evenly. SQF-SDM SLC NAND flash memory module is rated for up to 5,000,000 Program/Erase cycles.

Value-added Security Features Enhance Applications
SQFlash SQF-SDM originally provides security features designed specifically for embedded industrial applications. The Flash Lock utility can lock the SQFlash to a corresponding platform so it cannot be accessed by another platform. Flash Security ID can check with the API which helps protect and prevent intellectual property from being copied. Life Monitoring can check the health of the flash, provide an early-warning mechanism to the user, and the Emergency Erase utility can quickly erase all data and control firmware at any critical moment.

SQF-SDM, with standard 7-pin interface, can easily be installed into any board with a SATA interface. Also, compared with most SATA storage devices which require an additional power cable for voltage supply, an optional* SQF-SDM has an internal VCC supply through pin 7 (different part no.) to overcome this problem. SQF-SDM is also designed with a hook mechanism* (different part no.) to increase vibration resistance up to 1500G (peak/0.5 ms), and help users who need a highly stable connection to integrate with their applications better.

SQF-SDM is an ideal and reliable storage solution for all kinds of applications, and it is fully compatible with all major operating systems such as Windows XP, Linux, Win CE, DOS, and VxWorks. SQF-SDM comes in 2 to 32 GB capacities and is ready for order now, please contact your local sales office or visit the website for more information.

*SQF-SDM with an internal VCC supply or extra hooks are OPTIONAL, therefore the part number is different, please pay attention when purchasing.
