BiTMICRO® Introduces Ace Drive I-Series SATA SSDs for Industrial Applications

New Product Line Expands BiTMICRO's Offering of Rugged Solid State Drives

FREMONT, California, USA - May 23, 2013 - BiTMICRO announced today their newest line of industrial SATA SSDs, the Ace Driveâ„¢ I-Series.

Built to meet industrial requirements for ruggedness and reliability, Ace Drive I-Series SSDs can withstand the most severe industrial environments. I-Series drives offer reliable performance in a wide range of temperatures (-40Â° to 85Â°C), shock (1,500 G), humidity (5%-95%) and vibration (5-500Hz at 3.1G).

"We have maxIOâ„¢ SSDs for the highest level enterprise customers and e-disk® Altimaâ„¢ SSDs for the most demanding military customers. What was missing was a SATA SSD specifically designed for industrial applications," said Zophar Sante, VP of Worldwide Sales and Marketing.

The Ace Drive I-Series SATA is available in a standard 2.5" form factor in capacities starting at 8 GB up to 1 TB.

Ace Drive I-Series SSDs are easy-to-install, drop-in replacements for traditional hard drives in industrial applications. I-Series drives come with a set of advanced features that industrial users depend on for mission-critical operations including dynamic power management and enhanced data protection.

Each Ace Drive I-Series SSD supports S.M.A.R.T., Native Command Queuing (NCQ) for up to 32 commands, TRIM command support and dynamic/static wear leveling for extended endurance. An additional one-key intelligent destruction security feature prevents third-party data retrieval for customers in need of added security.
