Compared to that of its predecessor, the reading speed of these next-generation SSDs has been boosted to 85MB/sec. In terms of the chip, in addition to SLC storage solutions, MLC chip product lines can also support operating at industry-level extended-temperatures (-40°C ~ 85°C), and are especially suitable for stable operation under rigorous industrial environments.

         

For safer data storage, the value-added SDM4 MP industrial SSD series boast advanced Write Protect function, which protects data against vicious tampering so as to achieve security control of data storage. Currently, the Write Protect Switch is set on the top of the unit. Apacer can also add the Write Protect Switch to the bottom to meet the customization demands of customers. By utilizing unique Pin Header streaming, it allows the customer to unlock or lock this Write Protect function directly on the main unit without rebooting or adjusting manually. Additionally, the design of the pin header at the bottom enables the product to be more closely connected with the motherboard for effective shock resistance. At present, this product has attracted overseas POS applications, and Apacer is expected to provide storage solutions with outstanding performance.
 

         

Apacer’s latest SATA Disk Module 4 series uses SLC chips, available in capacities from 2GB to 32GB, and MLC chips for capacities from 4GB to 64GB. The SDM4 MP units feature ECC (Error Correcting Code) function, S.M.A.R.T (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) and ATA Secure Erase command - all of which help boost the product's reliability and stability. These features, along with the support of the Windows 7 Trim command for optimization, have made Apacer SSDs one of the prime choices among professional storage solutions.

Samples of Apacer’s next-generation industrial SSD series, the SDM4 MP, are now available for the customers to run test on. Please contact your local Apacer sales representative.

High-tech metallic style = simplicity
Apacer’s designers made simplicity the focus for the AM404, incorporating the cool metallic style (shown below). The AM404’s smooth, rounded corners provide a rich visual effect and increase its durability. The blue LED indicator complements the card reader’s high-tech look and reflects your tastes.

All-in-one compatibility
With the numerous memory card formats used in digital cameras, notebooks and tablet PCs., a good card reader needs to support all the major memory cards. The AM404 supports most major memory card formats, including the popular formats Compact Flash, SD and SDHC, as well as other formats such as Memory Stick PRO, Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick PRO Duo, MMCplus and MicroSD. In addition, MicroSD and xD cards, commonly used in mobile phones, and digital camera can be used in the AM404 without any adapters, thus making it easier to transmit and safeguard your data.

High-speed USB 2.0 technology
With its USB 2.0 technology and backward compatibility with USB 1.0, the AM404 can transmission speeds of up to 480 Mbps, meaning that a file transfer task can be done in mere seconds. The AM404 Card Reader also works with most major operating systems, including Windows 2000/ME/XP/Vista/7, Linux 2.4 or later, and Mac OS X 10.3 or later. The reader’s plug-and-play mechanism automatically identifies the device it connects to without the hassle of installing driver.

Apacer’s brand transformation began with the basics. Apacer established a high-efficiency global logistic system, conducted market research and built a customer relationship management model to locate its brand positioning in the global IT industry. Meanwhile, we also keep fostering our product design and technology R&D capability. The result is Apacer has garnered over 89 patents in related professional fields, as well as being granted world-acclaimed awards, such as the iF design awards and G-mark awards in product design.

As the corporate motto says, “Access the Best,” Apacer has been committed to bringing out outstanding digital storage products and peripherals to users. Consumers used to be impressed by Apacer’s stability, reliability and high quality, as its former brand identity design looked like a solid arch that communicates its brand value: Reliable, guiding consumers through the digital world.

The memory module uses both internal and external Vref (voltage reference) circuits, allowing the storage system to run perfectly while eliminating signal noise. The resulting quick data processing ability helps provide a professional high-performance storage solution for enterprises.

◎ARES Series DDR3-2133 CL9 large-capacity overclocking memory module available in 16GB Kits (4GBx4): superb performance made easy ARES Series DDR3-2133 CL9 high-capacity overclocking memory module is available in 16GB Kits (4GBx4). Tailored for Intel’s new Sandy Bridge LGA1155 processor, it can deliver stunningly high bandwidth and performance. With a combination of high clock rate, huge capacity and low latency, the solution is perfect for overclocking enthusiasts.

※Industrial SSD: RSFD that combines RFID and PHFD that carries PCIe interface while combining traditional hard drive and SSD

◎RSFD (RFID SATA Flash Drive): As a double-interface SSD, the RSFD (RFID SATA Flash Drive) has two storage interfaces: SATA and USB. SATA SSD (SFD) can be used as system drive, and USB SSD (UFD) as data storage drive. This SSD features RFID (radio-frequency identification) function, freeing users from having to install additional software. They can power on/off the UFD according to their needs by using the integrated reader and RFID tags for short-range sensing. As a result, the safety of stored data is strengthened. With the ability to perform AES encryption while accessing data, this RSFD can serve as an encryption device to safeguard personal information more easily.

◎PHFD (PCIe Hybrid Flash Drive): PHFD (PCIe Hybrid Flash Drive) uses PCIe interface and combines traditional hard drive with SSD. Users can employ the HyperDuo technology to use the SSD as a cache drive and accelerates system operation by automatically storing frequently used softwares and files into the SSD. Compared with use of traditional hard drive alone, the PHFD not only gives a performance boost for the system but also provides SSD-specific advantages such as high performance and reliability. Users may also appreciate its large capacity and low cost, which used to be the benefits of traditional hard drives only. Apacer, in addition to the two innovative SSDs above, will also be showcasing a series of industrial SSDs including devices with SATA, PATA, CompactFlash and USB interfaces, as well as a wide array of core data safety technologies for enhanced data storage reliability.
