BiTMICRO® Networks - Pioneers of Intelligent Flashdrive Storage
BiTMICRO shipped its first flashdrive in 1999 and continues to invest valuable resources in research and development of Flash memory-based disks, cache, Network Attached Storage (NAS) and Storage Area Network (SAN) solid state storage solutions.
E-Disk® flashdrives exhibit outstanding superiority even over the fastest HDDs today in terms of performance, reliability, and scalability. Moreover, intelligent software and our multi-patented manufacturing technologies result in flashdrives that offer significant advantages when compared with other types of SSDs:
| FEATURE | Relative
Factor vs. D-SSD |
BiTMICRO Advantage |
| Low Power Consumption | 25x | Non-volatile memory eliminates the need for bulky power supplies, back-up batteries or specialized cooling systems |
| Smaller Footprint | +5x | DRAM SSD packaging usually comes in rack mount versions to deliver the same amount of capacities that 3.5" E-Disk® flashdrives provide. |
| High Capacity | 3x | The intrinsically higher density of Flash memory and our patented Flashbus architecture and packaging technologies deliver higher capacity flashdrives within the same form factor |
| Ruggedness | 3x | MIL-STD-810 C and E-compliant and patented packing technology ensures continuous operation under conditions of extreme altitudes, shock, humidity and temperatures. |
| Reliability | 3x | Patented Reed-Solomon Error Correction Code (RS ECC), wear leveling and memory scrubbing software optimized for use with Flash memory ensure increased data integrity, optimum system performance and extreme device longevity. |
| Data Security | 3x | DataSentinel proprietary brownout data protection and user-programmable features reduce
the probability of data and FAT (file allocation table) loss or corruption
in most cases of power failure conditions Optional PowerGuard® feature together with DataSentinel ensures data recoverability by executing graceful shutdowns in the event of power degradation or failure For specialized and extremely sensitive applications, securErase® facilitates erasure of data beyond recovery even in the absence of an external power source or upon restoration of power (PowerGuard® II or III required). securErase® is fully compliant with the remanence security requirements of the U. S. DoD, NSA, Air Force, Army and Navy. |
| High Availability | 2x | Hot-swappable (SCSI, Level 4) feature allows for maintenance and replacements without having to bring down the server or storage host system |
| Advanced Interface Support | 2x | Supports
system interface speeds of up to 2 Gbits/s using dual-port Fibre Channel
(FC-AL) Other interfaces supported are FC-AL 1 Gbit/s, Ultra Wide SCSI, SCSI, IDE/ATA, USB, PCI and VME. |
| Non-Volatility | N/A | External batteries or redundant/uninterruptible power supplies not required |
