Apacer Technology and Memoright will participate at the 2012 AUVSI
(Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International) show which will be held
in Las Vegas from August 7-9, showcasing their SSD products for military and
industrial applications.
Industrial SSDs, military-grade drives with extended temperature
ranges and SATA 6Gbps devices will be among the spotlighted products, according
to the companies.
Memoright revealed that the company will exhibit a lineup of 2.5-
and 1.8-inch SATA-interface SSDs designed specifically for specific markets
where extended operating temperatures in ranges from -40 to 85-degrees are
needed. Memoright has its expertise in application-specific SSDs and provides a
comprehensive range of high-end and ruggedized solutions for specialized
applications including aviation, industrial control systems and military.
Apacer disclosed that its new series of industrial SSDs including
drives with SATA 6Gbps interfaces and compliant with JEDEC MO-300 mSATA specs
will be showcased at the AUVSI show.
Apacer will also present the new generation of its wide-temperature
SSDs, which comply with either JEDEC MO-300 or MO-297 requirements, at the
upcoming event, as well as modular SSDs with customized 7- and 22-pin
connectors, the company said.
Apacer previously remarked that the firm would move to diversify
away from its standard memory module business. Sales of SSDs and high-end
industrial memory modules increased more than 30% in 2011, which helped the
company mitigate the impact of unfavorable conditions in the conventional memory
module market, Apacer said.
In other news, prices for consumer SSDs have fallen recently due to
the rising competition, according to industry sources. In particular, prices for
mainstream 128GB models have dropped significantly to reflect an oversupply in
the market.
