ATP Velocity SI Pro SSD with SLC NAND & High Speed SATA III Interface

March 11, 2012 @ EditorNo Comments

Optimized for Mission Critical and High Performance Applications

The ATP Velocity SI Pro SSD with SATA III interface is specifically designed and engineered for mission critical industrial applications, where high bandwidth, high IOPS and reliability are required. Utilizing SLC (Single Level Cell) NAND flash components, the ATP Velocity SI Pro SSD offers sequential read speed of up to 500 MB/s and sequential write of up to 500 MB/s.

With a read/write speed of up to 500 MB/s, and 4K random read IOPS of up to 60,000, the Velocity SI Pro SSD is the ideal solution for enterprise and industrial applications, where mission-critical data requires the highest level of reliability, durability, performance and data integrity.

Instead of the regular MTBF (Mean Time between Failure) longevity metric, ATP also uses TBW (Total Byte Written) as a more meaningful and reasonable measure of a flash product’s endurance. TBW (Total Byte Written) is calculated based on the write usage condition, the NAND component type, the write amplification factor, and the wear-leveling efficiency/effeteness of the controller.

The TBW of Velocity SI Pro 2.5” SSD is 1,000TB for 30GB, 2,000 TB for 60GB, 4,000 TB for 120GB, and 8,000TB for 240GB. Comparing to the Intel 710 SSD at 500TB (100GB), the ATP Velocity SI Pro SSD with similar capacity (120GB) has a 4,000TB rating.

The ATP Velocity SI Pro SSD also comes with both ATP SMART Life Monitor and NSA compliant SecureErase technologies. ATP S.M.A.R.T. Life Monitor offers flash health feedback to the host and prevents data failure by detecting the percentage of remaining life in the storage device, thus allowing time for a safe storage replacement. ATP SecureErase is designed to purge sensitive data by following protocols from NSA (National Security Agency), and DOD (Department of Defense) standards. ATP Secure Erase ensures complete systematic elimination of data. Additionally, the built-in ATP PowerProtector technology ensures data integrity with reliable controller and NAND flash operations during a sudden power failure by using an onboard backup power circuit.

  • NSA Compliant SecureErase and Quick SecureErase
  • Advanced S.M.A.R.T. attribute support
  • High TBW (Total Bytes Written) Rating: 4000TB (120GB), compared to Intel 710 at 500TB (100GB)

ATP PowerProtector

The ATP PowerProtector guarantees reliable controller and lasting NAND flash operations with a backup power circuit during a power failure. The standalone design of PowerProtector ensures a sufficient amount of reserve power for any abnormalities such as unstable voltages and power outages.

To provide further data integrity, ATP PowerProtector technology allows the ATP SSD to intelligently manage read and write process, under a sudden power failure, beating the technical limitations offered by existing power failure protection solutions. Unlike SuperCap, the most common power failure backup solution on the market, PowerProtector offers a standalone hardware design that does not require specific controllers or customized firmware, as the SuperCap designs are sensitive to temperature change and have a tendency of losing capacitance and functionality at extreme temperatures, especially in industrial environments.
Full Manufacturer Support and Product Consistency

Being a true manufacturer gives ATP the ability to support customers with a controlled BOM (Bill of Materials) policy, ensuring both consistent compatibility and performance. ATP also fully supports its customers with product customization and tuning to optimize performance in particular or specialized applications.
