Virtium has announced a kind of new TuffDrive SSD which delivers small form factor, cost-efficient, durable storage to SATA-less systems. This new Virtium TuffDrive SSD is designed to be used to the industrial-embedded applications. And this post will simply show some information about the Virtium M.2 USB SSD.
Virtium Releases TuffDrive SSD for Industrial-Embedded Applications
Virtium is a leading provider of storage devices around the world, producing solid-state drives and memory solutions for the Industrial Internet of Things market. Recently, it has announced the new Virtium TuffDrive SSD which delivers high-endurance, low-power, small-form-factor solid-state storage to industrial-embedded applications.
This new Virtium TuffDrive SSD enables users to take advantage of USB 3.1 widespread host support and efficiently connect M.2 form factor drives to host system lacking the SATA storage interface.
To achieve small solid-state drive connected to host system, this new Virtium TuffDrive SSD is featured with the M.2 2242 form factor and USB 3.1 interface via a common and high efficient interface. Compared with the traditional SATA-SSD, the combination of this new Virtium TuffDrive SSD can reduce power consumption so that it can generate less heat.
In addition, this Virtium SSD can also decrease the electromagnetic interface, making it a viable option for medical, telecommunications and other EMI-sensitive applications, as well as for densely populated circuit boards. Moreover, the high-integrity M.2-to-USB 3.1 connection of this new Virtium TuffDrive SSD makes it have better shock and vibration resistance than other form factors and interfaces.
The vice president of marketing at Virtium said that ‘Virtium brings the lowest-power consumption, highest-reliability, and M.2-compliant USB drives to the storage market. Our engineers take a creative way to research SSD that leverages a form factor proven in embedded-0industrial designs and a widely used, high efficient interface. This achievement is pretty important for those IIoT designers. It has to work with the host system that lacks SATA while still requiring lower power and heat.’
Through the combination of this USB interface and M.2 form factor, Virtium makes IIoT easily store the Flash data storage to new applications. In addition, this Virtium M.2 USB SSD provides high-endurance, low-power consumption, and low cost-effectiveness.
The hot-pluggable TuffDrive M.2 USB is designed to the lower-capacity applications. Compared with SATA drives, the embedded SSD not only can lower the power requirements but also generate less heat so that it may have longer lifespan. It also decreases the system bill-of-materials outlays since these applications need small storage capacities.
This Virtium TuffDrive has the ability of high-endurance supported by the vtGuard power protection of Virtium. This Virtium TuffDrive M.2 USB drive is provided the AES-256 encrypted function so that it can provide good protection for your data.
Meanwhile, you can also choose to back up files so as to avoid losing, damaging or corrupting data and to keep your data safe.
The sample of this new Virtium TuffDrive SSD is available now, and it has got some recognition of some Virtium customers. And for more information about this new Virtium TuffDrive SSD, you can visit the official site of Virtium.
Final Words
In conclusion, Virtium has announced a kind of new TuffDrive SSD which provides high-endurance, lower-power, and M.2 compliant USB 3.1 solid-state drives for industrial-embedded applications. The combination of small form factor and USB 3.1 interface is an important feature of this new Virtium TuffDrive SSD.
