The AMP Inc. 2.5" SSD is a flash based disk drive with SATA 3.0 compliant interface. It provides fast read and writes speed, high reliability and data protection makes it an ideal storage solution for the server and mobile environment. It is built with Single Level Cell (SLC) NAND Flash which is cost effective and good performance. Due to its non mechanical nature, it has higher shock resistant and lower access time than traditional rotating hard disk. Built-in ECC and EDC ensure error-free transactions for the most demanding applications.

RELIABILITY
Technology
DuraClass technology represents a set of NAND flash management features that work in tandem to deliver world class SSD reliability, performance and power efficiency that differentiate AMP Inc.'s SSD's from competitive solutions. Of particular importance is the use of processing elements to optimally overcome a number of the inherent issues associated with commodity NAND flash memory. Duraclass features includes:
  • DuraWrite, which optimizes the number of program cycles to the flash effectively extending flash rated endurance by 20x or more when compared to standard controllers.
  • RAISE (Redundant Array of Independent Silicon Elements), which deliver an orders-of-magnitude improvement in drive reliability versus today's best enterprise HDDs and SSDs. The result is single-drive RAID-like protection and recovery from potentially catastrophic flash block failures - all while avoiding the inefficiencies of traditional RAID.
  • Advanced Wear Leveling and Monitoring, Optimized wear leveling algorithms further extending flash endurance.
  • Advanced Read/Program Disturb Management, which safeguards against errant re-programming of cells during read and program cycles.
  • Intelligent "Recycling" for advanced free space management (Garbage Collection)
  • Intelligent Data Retention optimization
  • Military Secure Erase
