Advantech's SQFlash BiCS5 boosts flash speeds by 50% compared to previous NAND technology, improving performance and size—key requirements for high-resolution display applications such as gaming and medical displays, as well as indoor and outdoor signage. Similarly, Advantech's SQFlash offers up to 8TB of capacity for 5G and Wi-Fi 6 data transmission, as well as AI analytics data storage for distributed computing, gaming, artificial intelligence, and smart manufacturing applications.
Advantech's SQFlash enables SSDs to operate in environments with wide temperature variations (-40 to 85 °C), making it an excellent choice for power plants, industrial automation, and in-vehicle applications requiring advanced functionality in harsh environments. Furthermore, SQFlash products leverage Advantech's DeviceOn/SQ Manager software to monitor performance and health in real time, as well as to calculate remaining lifespan.
The Advantech SQFlash series includes a comprehensive selection of security features and is designed in accordance with TCG-OPAL. Additionally, Flash Vault uses a password to protect the drive, features hardware and firmware write protection to prevent data replacement or deletion, and offers cryptographic erasure to completely erase all data on the SQFlash.
Key features:
- Wide capacity range (TLC solution) 64GB ~ 8TB (sTLC solution) 32GB ~ 2TB
- Extended operating temperature range (0 to 70 °C / -40 to 85 °C; expandable to automotive applications)
- Long-life sTLC solutions
- Intelligent monitoring and management
- TCG-OPAL compliant with various security features
The first samples of the SQFlash BiCS5 product series will be available in October 2021. The BiCS5 NAND Flash will be implemented in more SQFlash series in 2022.
