SMART Modular Technologies has launched flash memory drives with SEU Mitigation in New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Takeaway Points
- SMART Modular Technologies Launches Flash Memory Drives with SEU Mitigation.
- An SEU is an inadvertent change in “bit status” that occurs in digital systems when high-energy neutrons, or alpha particles, randomly strike and cause bits in memory or logic components to flip their state.
- On Aug 13, 2024, SMART Modular Technologies introduced DDR5 RDIMMs with Conformal Coating for Liquid Immersion Servers.
What did SMART Modular Technologies launch?
SMART Modular Technologies, Inc. (“SMART”), a division of SGH and a global leader in memory solutions, solid-state drives, and advanced memory, on Tuesday in New Taipei City, Taiwan, announced a proprietary technology to mitigate the adverse impact of single event upsets (SEUs) in high-reliability flash-memory-based systems.
SMART Modular’s SSD with SEU mitigation reduces annual failure rates from as high as 17.5k/Mu (million units) to less than 10/Mu and can significantly reduce service costs by helping to ensure thousands of hours of uninterrupted uptime, especially important for tough-to-repair remote deployments, the company said.
Satya Iyer, SMART’s vice president of specialty memory, stated, “Our industry standard SATA and PCIe NVMe boot drives can slash annual failure rates by as much 99.7% by recovering from soft errors due to single event upsets. In networking and telecom applications in remote and hard-to-service locations, SEU mitigation and the ability to recover from soft errors can make the difference for systems that require 24/7 uptime.”
