Why Use Industrial Flash

Why use industrial flash?

Over the years, we have seen many vendors of Flash cards and SSDs targeting industrial users. However, their products are often really only suited to the commercial world.

The components they use are inexpensive and the firmware is very simple. Fine perhaps for storing basic information but typically this isn’t what industrial users require. Industrial applications require components robust and reliable enough to stand the riggers of multiple Reads, and perhaps Writes, over long periods of time.

The stored data can be crucial to system operations and maintenance. It simply cannot be compromised. If it fails, or suddenly becomes obsolete, the cost is to your time, effort and your ability to provide uninterrupted services. It could even impact on your company’s reputation.

That’s why, when it comes to flash, you really can’t afford to buy cheap.
