Continuing the lifespan of 'ancient' interface SCSI, SSDL launches SCSIFlash-Fast series solid state drives

According to news from this site on February 18, the Small Computer System Interface SCSI is a long-established computer peripheral device connection standard, and now a company called SSDL has launched a new solid-state drive product for this ancient interface.

SCSI originated in the late 1970s and was standardized in 1986. After years of development, the interface evolved into SAS at the beginning of this century (Note from this site: That is, Serial Attached SCSI, Serial Attached SCSI) interface. However, unlike SAS, which is still developing, the traditional SCSI interface adopts parallel mode, cannot directly install existing SAS hard disks onto older SCSI devices.

There are computer systems in aerospace, defense, manufacturing, medical, telecommunications and other industries that are decades old, said James Hilken, director of marketing and sales at SSDL. Designed to install the most advanced SCSI mechanical hard drives at the time. Since these mechanical hard drives have moving parts, their failure rates are getting higher and higher."

SCSIFlash-Fast series solid state drives use standard 3.5-inch Disk specifications, optional capacities range from 2GB to 1TB. This series of products converts industrial-grade CF memory cards or M.2 SSDs into SCSI interface hard drives. SCSIFlash-Fast uses a 68- or 80-pin interface and can write at speeds up to 80MB/s. SSDL claims that this series of products can configure the SCSI interface version and sector size on demand, replicating the original hard disk characteristics "1:1".

SSDL also states that these products support USB field upgradeable microcode and can be equipped with an optional Ethernet port for management operations such as remote backup and restart.
