Apacer Announces the World’s Smallest Industrial Grade PCIe BGA SSD, Adding New Strength to High-Speed SSDs

Apacer (8271), a leading memory module manufacturer, launches the world’s smallest industrial-grade PCIe BGA SSD (solid state drive), adding new strength to the high-speed PCIe SSD product line. In response to the development trend of 5G high-speed connectivity applications and the increasing miniaturization of smart devices, Apacer adopts 3D TLCNAND flash memory, professional three-dimensional stacking and BGA chip packaging technologies to create the world’s smallest and fastest industrial-grade PCIe BGA SSD with excellent performance, ultra-low latency and high stability.

The world’s highest theoretical speed of 4GB/s PCIe Gen3x4 and Gen3x2 11.5x13mm smallest size specifications, COB process supports direct SMT on the motherboard or equipped with M.2 interface, excellent performance industrial standard wide temperature PCIe 3DNAND solution for 5G speed and high-end applications, to meet the industrial Internet of Things Apacer’s PCIe 3DNAND solution is the first choice for 5G speedup and high-end applications, meeting the needs of vertical markets such as industrial IoT, cloud computing, servers and network communications, defense applications, gaming peripherals and high-performance computing.

Apacer launches the world’s smallest and fastest PCIe BGA SSD with original industrial standard -40°C to 85°C wide temperature grade particles, complies with the SSD standard NVMe 1.3 specification, and has more than three times the transmission performance of SATA SSD.

Apacer PV920-uSSD 16x20mm adopts PCIe Gen3x4 transfer interface and integrates multi-channel extreme flash memory design for the world’s fastest BGA SSD, with read/write speed up to 3270/2730 MB/s and theoretical transfer speed up to 4GB/s. Apacer PT910-uSSD 11.5x13mm adopts PCIe Gen3x2 interface and micro-sized flash memory. PCIe Gen3x2 interface is the world’s smallest single package BGA SSD, with read/write speeds of up to 1685/860 MB/s and theoretical transfer speeds of up to 2GB/s. In addition to the advantages of ultra-lightweight and compact size, Apacer PCIe BGA SSDs offer excellent high-speed performance, ultra-low latency, low power consumption, shock resistance, high stability and reliability, and are designed for 5G high-speed and miniaturized smart applications, adding new strength to target high-speed PCIe SSD market applications.

Multiple hardware and software firmware technologies add value to create the highest data transmission and storage stability and reliability In response to the characteristics of PCIe bus, multi-channel and huge data transmission, Apacer PCIe BGA SSD adopts multiple hardware and software firmware technologies to achieve a perfect data protection mechanism. For example, the End-to-End DataProtection technology instantly detects and corrects erroneous data to ensure the integrity and correctness of data transmission between the host computer and the NAND storage area, significantly enhancing data reliability. To maintain data transmission security, TCG Opal 2.0 specification can be supported to provide complete encryption protection service for hard drive data using AES 256 encryption technology.

In addition, to examine the system overheating problem that may arise from PCIe high-speed processing, the Thermal Throttling firmware technology is used to drive the temperature-controlled tuning mechanism in a timely manner to ensure the stability and integrity of data writing in the system under high temperature environment. Apacer’s PCIe BGA SSD supports the DRAM-less controller chip design with HMB (Host MemoryBuffer) technology, fully demonstrating the ultra-high performance and cost-effective high-speed PCIe SSD solution. 

With an eye on the future, smart cars or driverless cars will no longer be just a mere means of transportation, but also a center for information aggregation, data calculation and analysis, and transmission, and will place more emphasis on data storage and processing capabilities and speed. Apacer actively builds up the IATF 16949 quality management system for the automotive industry and has recently obtained the IATF 16949 quality management system compliance declaration for the automotive industry issued by BureauVeritas, an internationally renowned third-party verification organization. In the future, Apacer will continue to strengthen its production of storage products for automotive applications to comply with the global unified standards for automotive industry systems set by international automotive majors, providing the best assurance of meeting the quality requirements for applications in harsh automotive environments.
