Delkin Launches Industrialgrade M2 Ssds for Embedded Systems

In harsh industrial environments, data storage reliability directly impacts equipment and system stability. Traditional consumer-grade SSDs often fail to meet industrial applications' demanding requirements for endurance, temperature adaptability, and long-term supply guarantees. Delkin Devices' industrial-grade M.2 SSDs address these challenges, offering high-performance, reliable storage solutions for embedded systems, industrial automation, medical equipment, and other critical applications.

As the successor to mSATA, the M.2 interface has become the mainstream choice for computer storage media due to its flexible form factors, diverse interface options, and support for various flash memory types. Delkin's industrial-grade M.2 SSDs not only leverage these advantages but also optimize designs specifically for industrial applications, significantly improving data retention capabilities and flash endurance. These drives incorporate advanced flash management technologies and SMART data retrieval functions to ensure stable operation in extreme environments.

M.2 SSDs come in various sizes, including M.2 2230 (22mm × 30mm), M.2 2242 (22mm × 42mm), M.2 2260 (22mm × 60mm), M.2 2280 (22mm × 80mm), and M.2 22110 (22mm × 110mm). Among these, M.2 2280 remains the most widely adopted specification. Engineers must carefully select the appropriate M.2 SSD size based on host device constraints to ensure optimal compatibility and installation convenience.

The M.2 connector's key notches (cutout positions) distinguish between different interface types and functionalities. Various key configurations (such as B Key and M Key) define distinct protocols and applications. Understanding these key specifications is crucial for selecting compatible SSDs and preventing operational failures due to interface mismatches. Delkin Devices provides comprehensive documentation detailing key connector information to facilitate proper component selection.

Delkin Devices currently offers two industrial-grade M.2 SSD series: the H300 and Utility+ lines. Both feature extended temperature range designs, operating reliably between -40°C and 85°C to meet rigorous industrial requirements.

The H300 series utilizes Single Level Cell (SLC) flash with capacities ranging from 8GB to 64GB. Renowned for exceptional endurance, reliability, and superior data retention, SLC technology makes this series ideal for applications demanding uncompromising data integrity, including industrial control systems, data logging, and boot drives. The H300 delivers read speeds up to 260MB/s and write speeds reaching 115MB/s, satisfying most industrial performance needs.

The Utility+ series employs industrial-grade 3D NAND flash with capacities from 128GB to 2TB. This technology maintains reliability while achieving higher storage density and lower costs, making it perfect for applications requiring substantial storage. With read speeds up to 2450MB/s and write speeds reaching 1900MB/s, the Utility+ series excels in high-performance computing, video processing, and big data storage applications.

• Enhanced Endurance: Industrial SSDs utilize higher-quality flash memory and advanced management algorithms to withstand greater write cycles and frequent operations, extending service life.
• Wider Temperature Range: Designed for extreme conditions (-40°C to 85°C) versus consumer models (typically 0°C to 70°C).
• Extended Product Lifecycle: Strict bill-of-materials control and lifecycle management ensure long-term availability and consistency.
• Superior Vibration/Shock Resistance: Robust packaging and reliable connectors maintain stability in challenging environments.
• Advanced Security Features: Hardware encryption and secure erase capabilities protect sensitive data.

• Industrial Automation: Storing control programs, operational data, and machine vision images.
• Embedded Systems: Hosting operating systems, applications, and data in embedded computers and HMIs.
• Medical Equipment: Safeguarding medical imaging, patient records, and diagnostic software.
• Transportation: Managing vehicle telemetry, navigation systems, and infotainment content.
• Defense Systems: Securing mission-critical military data and operational programs.

As industrial M.2 technology evolves, Delkin continues expanding its product portfolio to address growing market demands. With outstanding performance, reliability, and durability, Delkin's industrial-grade M.2 SSDs represent a trusted storage solution for mission-critical applications, whether requiring SLC endurance or 3D NAND capacity.
