Apacer launches its brand new Serial ATA Flash Drive (SAFD) 254 for industrial and embedded applications. The new product offers Apacer customers industrial SSD solution in the present market and supports high capacity requirement and wide operating temperature demand.

The NAND SLC memory and the SAFD 254 is capable of read/write speeds of up to 150/130 MB/sec. Apacer’s SAFD 254 makes use of the global wear leveling technology, which manages the rough “wear” on the sectors of a flash media memory by distributing the writes through whole sectors of the flash media to extend its life cycle.

The built-in S.M.A.R.T technology (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) provides users an interface that allows immediate display of key information, comprising spare blocks and erase counts. This minimizes the risk of sudden disk damage and proactively alerts customers to backup system and data. In addition to this, the built-in low power detector initiates cached data saving before the device’s power supply gets too low.

In addition to this, Apacer SAFD 254 comes with the SSD+ Optimizer software, developed particularly for Apacer SSD products. The Optimizer efficiently maintains the product’s long term peak operational performance. It utilizes the patented InvisiTasking technology and operates in the background to automatically perform error detection without disturbing normal system operation. Apacer is also launching the cost-effective Multi-Level Cell SAFD254-M for Notebook, Netbook and MID use. The SAFD-M product has a read/write speed of 150/90 MB/sec, and is available in capacities ranging from 8GB to 128GB. The main highlight of the SAFD 254-M is that it is impact-resistant and power efficient, and can effectively withstand accidental bumps from erasing valuable storage data.

The SAFD 254 128GB Extended Temperature model is now available in prototype at the suggested selling price of USD 900 (Rs. 44,400 approximately). The product line is likely to go into production by the second quarter of 2009.
