The NANDrive devices from Silicon Storage Technology (SST) are said to be the industry’s smallest ATA solid-state storage devices, giving mobile and embedded system designers an easy way to adopt a NAND Flash data storage solution.
By leveraging SST's proven NAND controller technology, innovative multichip packaging expertise and a widely used industry-standard ATA/IDE interface, NANDrive manages all NAND Flash complexities and allows designers to quickly integrate this mass data storage solution into their designs without having to make any firmware changes. NANDrive is compatible with all mobile, embedded and desktop operating systems that support an ATA interface.
NANDrive uses a standard embedded OS software stack, removing designers' problem of host software revalidation cycles and the need to change host-side vendor-specific software to support new NAND Flash devices. A wide range of storage capacities will be available in three form factors, all with the same ball layout, facilitating a guaranteed upgrade path. The first of such form factors introduced - the 'micro-NANDrive' with dimensions of 12 x 18 x 1,4 mm - initially accommodates 128 to 512 MB storage capacities.
The NANDrive is a high-performance mass data storage solution with sustained read and write rate up to 30 MB/sec. This performance meets all application needs for mobile multimedia devices, such as MP3 players, video streaming devices, camcorders, cameras and GPS navigation systems. SST's hardware 8-bit ECC engine and its firmware programmable multitasking NAND interface is said to mitigate the slow performance problem that is typical when using lower cost multi-level cell (MLC) NAND flash.
The NANDrive offers users several advanced security protection features. Users seeking content protection can take advantage of a unique 20-Byte serial ID number for data encryption. The device also offers up to four protection zones that customers can use to store boot code that typically would be included in a separate discrete device. Additional security features include a write-protect pin for virus prevention, password protection and a purge command.
