Military 2.5’’ SSD’s

Military 2.5'' SATAIII SSD products up to 2TB have been established for heavy duty applications. Along with 2.5’’ products, there are also military standard 1.8” SATA, CF cards, mSATA, , Half Slim, SCSI and PATA series at lower volumes. The series of military products are designed for military applications which require high stability, reliability and high performance. The SSD’s are required to go through proofing tests and environmental tests such as Wide Temperature Tests, Burn-IN Tests and Shock\Vibration Tests. Some military products support Over Load Protect and Power Failure Protect, which must be fully compliant with military defense, selected & tested standards.

The military products have high stability and reliability and perform extremely well under a multitude of applications and severe and harsh environments. With a capacity range from 2GB~2048GB, these military products can be adapted to applications and products such as such as rugged computers, panel PCs, tactical computers, aerospace systems, systems Integration, surveillance systems, military servers, avionic systems and defense systems etc. These products are manufactured with military-level components only, and under strict testing and top level technologies. They are 100% approved following a series of complicated and complete long-term tests.

This series of products are designed with a SATAII or SATAIII interface for military applications which require both high stability and high performance. They go through three proofing tests and high reliability environmental tests such as Wide Temperature Tests, Aging Tests and Shock\Vibration testing. The military products supports Overload Protect and Power Failure Protect, which are fully compliant with military defense selected & tested standards.

SATAIII military products have high stability and reliability and can do perfectly well under many applications and the most severe environments.

Secure Erase Function

Secure Erase function is an embedded security function which was designed to meet the needs of data security concerned applications such as defense and other special purposes. This function delivered reliable hi-speed clear and sanitization with a user friendly interface and auto power failure resume function.

Mode: Data erase including SErase and QErase; data sanitization;destroy;

Clearing

Clearing is the process of erasing data on the media. In a NAND flash based SSD, this is done by executing a block-by-block erase with verification. This function implements the block-by-block erase on entire physical flash blocks including user data area and reserved area for FW, spare and logical to Physical mapping table. This results in all the data on the media being erased and unrecoverable.

As soon as the Secure Erase function is triggered, the SSD will cut off the signal transfer between the host system and the SSD. It will stop receiving new ATA commands, and force to interrupt ongoing ATA commands; and then the SSD will execute block-by-block erase until all blocks in user data area are erased. If “CLEAR” mode is invoked the SSD will continue to execute erase on all vendor reserved Data area, logical to physical mapping table and firmware area. The SSD will be set back to “blank” With no function after “clear”.

Sanitization

Sanitization is the process of declassifying the drive by executing an unrecoverable removal of all Data on the media. In a NAND Flash based SSD, this initiates a sequence of block-by-block erase, pattern write and pattern verify operations designed to eliminate any trace of the original data. This function provides customers standard sanitization procedure by overwriting “1” to all user data area after block-by-block erase. The SSD will be set back to factory default with full functions after “sanitization”.

Trigger Mode

The Secure Erase function can be triggered by various methods: software trigger, hard trigger or method combined software and hardware. A successful software trigger would depend on a functional platform which might be limited by hardware, OS, and application software used in the host system, when it is hard to be sure that the normal function of the host system is an emergency. Maximus designs a system-independence in-drive hardware mechanism to deliver a simple and reliable trigger method for data erase function.

Physical Destruction

When the 14th PIN of SSD SATA connector is connected to the positive of switched on power supply, and 15th PIN connected to the negative of the switched on power supply, the SSD will start the order of physical destruction. The burning power supply is required to be 24V~32V, maximum currency 3A, and power supply connected for 10seconds. By this physical destruction, not only will the data be erased, but also the NAND flash and circuit will be burned down and the SSD cannot be used or repaired any more.
