“Automotive SSDs are an integral part of the consumer experience when they are using their car, so we want to produce the best possible device. We are excited to partner with Novachips, Inc. because their controller helps us provide an excellent automotive SSD that is extremely reliable and delivers exceptional performance.” –Shimon, VP of Engineering, Super Talent Technology

Storage devices for cars must be designed to tolerate vibrations and shocks that constantly occur during the car’s movement. Since the SSD has no moving parts, it is the optimal storage device for automotive AVN system. Super Talent’s automotive SSD also has highly reliable SPOR (Sudden Power Off Recovery) which backs up data in the event of sudden power loss to the system. One of the major reasons that Super Talent chose Novachips as the partner for their automotive SSD is the reliability on SPOR test.

NVS3600 series of Novachips are optimal solution not just for consumer SSD market but also for industrial sector as well.” - Daniel Kim, CEO at Novachips, Inc.
