SMART High Reliability Solutions' Rugged HRS-S3 SSD Targets Defense and Aerospace Applications


(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) GILBERT, AZ -- (Marketwired) -- 10/21/14 -- SMART High Reliability Solutions ("SMART HRS"), a provider of current and next-generation solid-state storage solutions specializing in high-performance and high-capacity solid-state drives ("SSDs") for defense, aerospace and industrial markets, today announced its HRS-S3 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s SSD for industrial temperature applications. The HRS-S3 is the latest in a robust line of products from SMART HRS that emphasizes its exclusive focus on solid-state storage solutions.



Building on the success of SMART's long line of SSD products for the defense industry, the HRS-S3 SSD delivers performance metrics of 400MB/s sequential read and 300MB/s sequential write speeds. Using highly reliable single-level-cell (SLC) NAND flash, the HRS-S3 is available in capacities ranging from 60 to 960GB.

A host of reliability features are built into the HRS-S3 starting with a backup power circuit comprised of high-reliability capacitors which prevent data loss in the event of unplanned power interruptions. The error correction capability of the HRS-S3 allows it to correct up to 28 bits for every 1024 bytes, and end-to-end cyclic redundancy check (CRC) protection guards against data corruption along the entire data path, delivering an uncorrectable bit error rate (UBER) of 1x10-17.


The new HRS-S3 SSD offers customers two separate and complimentary levels of data security. First, the Secure Data Elimination Technology (SDET) functionality supports all the major NSA and DOD sanitization algorithms, as well as IRIG; SDET makes it possible to completely erase and sanitize every block of NAND flash in a compliant fashion. Second, all user data stored on the HRS-S3 SSD is automatically encrypted with AES 256-bit encryption. When the two are combined in the HRS-S3, SDET deletes the encryption key in less than 1 second, and then erases the entire NAND flash array in less than 10 seconds.

"With the HRS-S3, our engineering team has extended our growing line of products for the defense and industrial markets," said Michael Guzzo, General Manager of SMART HRS. "The new HRS-S3 combines the higher performance, ruggedness and security our defense customers require, with the logistical and technical support that SMART is known for around the world." Designed and tested per MIL-STD-810 to operate in high shock and vibration applications at industrial operating temperatures of -40 degrees C to +85 degrees C, the HRS-S3 is also certified for operation at altitudes up to 80,000 ft.

SMART HRS will showcase the HRS-S3 solid-state storage solution along with the rest of its industrial and defense SSD product portfolio during the International Telemetering Conference and Exhibition at the Town and Country Resort and Convention Center, San Diego, CA, booth #200 from October 21 through 23, 2014.
