quantity is much smaller, but higher
chance to apply in mission critical
applications, which means the quality
control threshold should be different
to maintain high quality standard and
prevent disaster consequences from
any quality issues. Hence, Advantech
phased-in industrial leading QC
standard to apply 100% product
screening test instead of sampling
QC. Every single piece of Advantech
storage products shipped would be
tested with 5 cycles of the read/write
stress test, temperature test, thermal
shock, and vibration test to ensure
excellent yield rate of our product.
Security upgrade for SSD
with SQFlash Utility
The cases mentioned in the beginning
of the article about network
communication security is indeed a
very serious challenge, other than
that, the people with bad intention
has also lots of approaches to acquire
data from the system in field side, or
even on the storage device directly.
As a carrier of data and applications,
the variety of security features of
storage devices could be very handy
for the architects to design the
system and raise the overall security
level. Therefore, AES-256 internal
encryption has become a mandatory
feature for the modern SSD design.
Besides, except for internal data
encryption, with the implementation
of unique device code verification or
user authentication, a simple storage
device can be empowered with
software keys (SQFlash – Security
ID) or data vault (SQFlash – Flash
Vault) functions. Which realize peer-
to-peer security protection.
Complete power failure
protection of SQFlash
Fundamental to SSD reliability is how
SSDs perform data management,
especially in unstable power
scenarios. SQFlash designed with the
most advanced and complete multi-
stage power
failure protection that ensures that
no matter which kind of scenario, you
will be fully covered by our advanced
product functions. The multi-stage
power failure protection of SQFlash
is built into the SSD building blocks.
