Virtium Introduces High-Endurance, Low-Power, M.2-Compliant USB 3.1 Solid-State Drives for Industrial-Embedded Applications
Summary
RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif.--( BUSINESS WIRE )--Virtium, a leading provider of solid-state drive (SSD) and memory solutions for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) markets, today introduced the TuffDrive ® M.2 USB line of SSDs that bring high-endurance, low-power, small-form-factor solid-state storage to industrial-embedded applications. It also lowers electromagnetic interference (EMI), making the SSDs a viable option for medical, telecommunications and other EMI-sensitive applications, as well as for densely populated circuit boards. “By combining the ubiquitous USB interface with the small form factor of the M.2 SSD, Virtium makes it easy for embedded-industrial systems designers to extend Flash data storage into new applications,” said Alan Niebel, president of WebFeet Research and author of the 2018 Non-Volatile Memory Market Shares by Vendor Report . Additionally, Virtium offers optional AES-256 self-encryption for the TuffDrive M.2 USB line, as encrypted SSDs with this feature provide significantly greater protection for data at rest than drives without it. The company designs, builds and supports its products in the USA, and provides a dedicated software team for custom storage solutions – all fortified by a network of global locations.
