MIDDLETON, Wis., 27 Oct. 2010. Extreme Engineering Solutions Inc. (X-ES) in Middleton, Wis., is introducing the XPort6192 ruggedized, removable SATA solid-state drive for conduction- or air-cooled military applications that require secure, high-capacity, and high-performance removable rugged data storage. The rugged solid-state memory device supports 256-bit AES encryption and declassification capabilities, has a storage capacity of as much as 256 gigabytes, reads data as fast as 240 megabytes per second, and writes data as fast as 215 megabytes per second.

MIDDLETON, Wis., 27 Oct. 2010. Extreme Engineering Solutions Inc. (X-ES) in Middleton, Wis., is introducing the XPort6192 ruggedized, removable SATA solid-state drive for conduction- or air-cooled military applications that require secure, high-capacity, and high-performance removable rugged data storage.

The rugged solid-state memory device supports 256-bit AES encryption and declassification capabilities, has a storage capacity of as much as 256 gigabytes, reads data as fast as 240 megabytes per second, and writes data as fast as 215 megabytes per second.

The XPort6192 can provide a migration path from the X-ES XPort6191, in that both solid-state drives can be housed by the XPort6170 (3U VPX carrier) or the XPand3200/XPand4200 (one-half ATR chassis), company officials say.

XPort6192 features include small form factor that fits within a standard 3U 0.8-inch pitch slot; SLC NAND flash technology; AES 256-bit encryption (optional); ATA secure erase support; declassification (enhanced erase) support (optional); operating temperature range of -40 to 85 degrees Celsius; 100,000 program/erase cycles; global wear leveling support for added memory endurance; high-reliability connector supporting 100,000 insertions/extractions; and 36 connector key options.
