APS25H12256G-2TM

Solid State Drives (SSDs) are devices, such as the APS25H12256G-2TM, that have no moving parts and use integrated circuit assemblies to facilitate the storage and retrieval of data. Instead of having to use conventional hard drive spinning platters, SSDs provide enhanced performance and better reliability over hard drives. In this article, we will break down the function and application areas of the APS25H12256G-2TM and further explain why it is a valuable data storage device.

The APS25H12256G-2TM allows up to 256GB of storage capacity and is specifically designed for embedded applications, such as servers, routers, and digital signage. It’s NAND Flash and controller technology enable high write and read speeds, and faster boot and application launch times. By eliminating the need for traditional spinning mechanical hard drives, the APS25H12256G-2TM ensures better system stability with low power consumption, while ensuring longer lifespan.

The device runs on Serial ATA (SATA) 3 port, which is backward compatible with SATA I and II standards. APS25H12256G-2TM is housed in a 2.5” form factor, making it a great alternative for embedded systems which may have size restrictions. In addition to its size, the device is also lighter than hard drives, making it ideal for areas such as aerospace, corporate, medical, software development, and distribution.

The APS25H12256G-2TM is equipped with advanced protection such as power-on reset, thermal protection, power-loss freeze, and read-disturb. These features help protect the user’s data from unexpected power loss and data corruption. Additionally, these features help the SSD’s electronics from overheating and being damaged.

The drive’s functionality is provided by the use of Flash Memory Controllers. This is an important component of SSDs, as it performs the task of executing tasks such as reading and writing to the memory banks. The Flash Memory Controllers read the requested data from the memory banks and then translates it into an obvious format that the user’s system can understand and utilize. The APS25H12256G-2TM Memory Controller is based on the Synology P2061, which is a 32-bit SDB Multi-Interface Controller Core.

The device also features two types of wear-leveling technologies. The first is Block Wear-Leveling, which helps to extend the life of the Flash Memory. This maintains the memory’s wear level by constantly moving data from used memory blocks to unused blocks. The second is Page Wear-Leveling which does the same, but is more effective at spreading out data wear-leveling over larger area of available memory.

In conclusion, the APS25H12256G-2TM is one of the most reliable and versatile SSDs on the market. It offers enhanced performance due to its NAND Flash and controller technologies, as well as enhanced data protection due to its power-saving features and wear-leveling technologies. Its small size and light weight make it an ideal choice for embedded applications, such as servers, routers, and digital signage.
