Single-system testing for SAS, SATA & PCIe protocol SSDs
Advantest has announced firmware that enables all MPT3000 systems to test Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) 12G and Serial ATA (SATA) 6G SSDs, making this tester the first true single-system solution for testing SAS, SATA and PCIe protocol SSDs. The addition of SAS and SATA to the proven support for PCIe 3.0, NVMe and AHCI extends the platform’s test coverage to include SSDs that use any of today’s major protocol standards.
With the downloadable protocols, the MPT3000 platform is now the most flexible and extendable SSD test solution on the market. The testers have changeable passive interface boards to support form factors including 2.5" drives, half- and full-height PC cards and M.2, allowing all MPT3000ENV and MPT3000ES testers to switch between SSD products in minutes.
The MPT3000 platform with Stylus software, 12G electrical performance, a versatile tester-per-DUT architecture and Advantest’s worldwide support protects customers’ investments as the SSD market shifts from SATA to SAS and PCIe.
The system’s design provides consistent management of test programme development and support across a wide range of SSD products. For customers focusing on SATA products, the MPT3000 is a PCIe-ready SATA solution. For SSD manufacturers shipping NVMe drives in volume today, the platform provides the capability to optimise capacity by testing SAS and SATA products as well.
Advantest has already received purchase commitments for additional protocol licenses for MPT3000 systems in production at customer sites.
