Swissbit introduces an extension to the existing F-60/F-600 CFast™ 2.0 card portfolio. The new F-50 products complement the high performance, high endurance durabit™ F-60 devices by offering a DRAM-less product for cost sensitive applications with use cases that don’t require the extreme IOPS rate and endurance life delivered by F-60 Cards.
The F-50 series employs a flash controller which is designed for industrial use and offers sophisticated firmware features to enhance the flash retention and endurance. Global wear leveling, read retry, and active and passive data care management sustain the storage capability of the MLC based cards over the complete lifetime. Being realized by latest MLC technology the F-50 products will experience long term availability. The F-50 CFast™ cards benefit from a high sustained sequential read and write performance of up to 500 MB/s and 330 MB/s respectively. For random access intensive applications the user can expect up to 53k IOPS for random read and 74k IOPS for random write.
These cards are ideal for hard disk drive (HDD) or CompactFlash™ replacement in industrial, embedded, automotive and NetCom applications with medium performance requirements. Especially the low density cards with 8GB and 16GB capacity are highly attractive for embedded applications.
Meeting the industry-standard CFast 36.4mm x 42.8mm x 3.6mm form factor, and featuring a high-speed SATA-III 6.0Gbit/s interface, the F-50 series is available in 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB and 256GB capacities. The cards operate from a 3.3V supply, drawing active power of 1.4W and less than 17mW in device-sleep mode.
