ATP Electronics Introduces N601 Series PCIe Gen 4 Solid State Drives (SSDs) with Enhanced Performance

ATP Electronics, a global leader in specialized storage and memory solutions, is proud to present the latest additions to its product lineup: the high-speed N601 Series M.2 2280 and U.2 solid state drives (SSDs). 

These cutting-edge SSDs feature the 4th generation PCIe interface and provide full support for the NVMe protocol, ensuring optimal performance in various applications.

Boasting a 16 GT/s data rate, the new ATP PCIe Gen 4 SSDs offer twice the speed of their predecessors, resulting in an impressive bandwidth of 2 GB/s per PCIe lane. When utilizing x4 lanes, these SSDs can achieve a maximum bandwidth of 8 GB/s. This remarkable data transfer capability caters to the escalating demands of today's intensive applications, making them ideal for mission-critical industrial scenarios such as networking/server environments, 5G networks, data logging, surveillance, and imaging. In fact, the performance of these SSDs is on par, if not superior, to mainstream PCIe Gen 4 consumer SSDs available in the market.

The N601 Series utilizes innovative 176-layer 3D NAND flash technology, coupled with prime 512 Gbit die packages. This advanced combination delivers significant performance enhancements compared to the previous 64-layer technology, while also reducing the cost per GB. It ensures exceptional quality of service (QoS) and offers a cost-effective storage solution for diverse requirements.

The M.2 2280 SSDs are available in capacities ranging from 240 GB up to 3.84 TB, catering to a wide range of storage needs. Similarly, the U.2 SSDs offer capacities from 960 GB up to 7.68 TB, providing a cost-efficient option for various storage demands.

One of the key features of the N601 Series is its onboard DRAM, which greatly enhances quality of service (QoS) compared to the previous generation. The onboard DRAM ensures optimal consistency, predictability, and higher read/write performance. With high input/output operations per second (IOPS), low write amplification index (WAI), and minimal latency, these SSDs deliver exceptional performance. Moreover, the onboard DRAM enables sustained performance over extended operational periods, surpassing DRAM-less solutions.

ATP Electronics' N601 Series PCIe Gen 4 SSDs revolutionize storage technology by offering enhanced performance and cost efficiency. With their advanced features and impressive specifications, these SSDs are well-suited for demanding industrial applications. Experience the future of storage with ATP Electronics' N601 Series SSDs.Reliable and Secure Operation

• The N601 Series offers a host of reliability, security, and data integrity features, such as:
• End-to-end data protection, TRIM function support, and LDPC error correction
• Anti-sulfur resistors repel the damaging effects of sulfur contamination, guaranteeing continued dependable operation even in environments with high sulfur content
• Hardware-based AES 256-bit encryption and optional TCG Opal 2.0/ IEEE 1667 security for self-encrypting drive (SED)
• N601Sc Series offers reliable operation in varying temperature shifts with C-Temp (0℃ to 70℃) rating. I-Temp operable (-40℃ to 85℃) N651Si Series will be available for later release.
• Thermal throttling intelligently adjusts the workload per operating unit time. Throttling stages are pre-configured, allowing the controller to effectively manage heat generation to keep the SSD cool. This ensures stable sustained performance and prevents the heat from damaging the device. Heatsink options are available by project and according to customer request.
• Power loss protection (PLP) Mechanism. The N601 Series U.2 and upcoming I-Temp rated M.2 2280 SSDs feature hardware-based PLP. Onboard capacitors hold up power long enough to ensure that the last read/write/erase command is completed, and data is stored safely in the non-volatile flash memory. The microcontroller unit (MCU)-based design allows the PLP array to perform intelligently in various temperatures, power glitches, and charge states to protect both device and data. C-Temp rated M.2 2280 SSDs, on the other hand, feature a firmware-based PLP, which effectively protects data that had been written to the device prior to power loss.
