SSDs operate from -40 to +85°C for UAV applications

Accelerating the μSDC-M Plus' speed of data transmission is its combination of small volume and high speed. The continuous reading speed of the SSD, Apacer claim, is faster than that of both general 2.5” SSDs and similar SSDs. 

With its wide operating temperature range from -40 to +85°C and SMT, the μSDC-M Plus is resistant to extreme temperatures and shock and thus suitable for taking aerial photos in high altitude flight environments.

In order to simultaneously improve overall efficiency and service life, the SSD supports Native Command Queuing (NCQ) and features RIM Command and 72bit/1K Bytes ECC. The μSDC-M Plus also conforms to JEDEC MO-276 specification, which significantly streamlines the main configuration, making customer-end products lighter.

Jeff Lin, Embedded Business Application Unit Director, Apacer, commented “The μSDC-M Plus is innovatively adopts with BGA156 packaging technology, which integrates the controller /flash and related components into one single chip. The unique design reduces its size to 16x20x1.4mm, which is as small as a one dollar coin. Meanwhile, the adoption of SATA 3 6Gbps interface allows a maximum capacity of 64GB. Compared with its peer products on the market which are mostly between 1.4-2mm in thickness, the size of μSDC-M Plus is especially tiny.”

Samples of Apacer's SSDs are now available.
