Traditional Hard Disk Drives (HDD’s) are no longer the go-to storage medium for embedded applications. Slow Data Rates, low transfer speeds, mechanical failures due to moving parts, noise, and high-power consumption pushed designers to find a better solution. Solid State Drives (SSD’s) have become the staple storage of choice in embedded applications, as they satisfy many requirements requested by embedded application designers. They offer a smaller foot-print, higher performance, better reliability and lower power consumption as well as being available in versatile form factors such as 2.5”, M.2, mSATA, CFast, CFexpress, CF and eUSB, providing designers with incredible flexibility in choosing the embedded SSD that is best suited for their application.
