London UK (SPX) Sep 15, 2005
BiTMICRO Networks has announced at the Defence Systems and Equipment International (DSEi) 2005 show in London, England, the availability of a military-grade version of the E-Disk 3S320, the world's first Ultra320 SCSI solid-state flash storage.

The move follows the successful rollout of the E-Disk U320 SCSI flash disk in October 2004.

Designed for extreme environments, the E-Disk Ultra320 SCSI can operate from -60 degrees centigrade to +95 degrees centigrade and is designed to handle operating shock of up to 1500 Gs, making it an ideal storage solution for scientific missions and reconnaissance flights where data recording opportunities are critical.

This pure solid state/non-volatile drive is OS independent and is targeted to provide up to 42 microsecond access time, 12,500 IOPS (max) and 2 million hours MTBF. Sustained R/W rate is 44 MB/sec (max) and burst R/W rate is 320 MB/sec (max).

Available in a 3.5-inch form factor, maximum capacity for the E-Disk Ultra320 SCSI is pegged at 155 GB. The completely bootable drive comes with either a half pitch DB68 or SCA-2 ANSI compliant connector and does not require any device driver for proper operation.

"The ruggedized version of the E-Disk Ultra320 SCSI flash drive brings solid-state storage to the next level by reaching extremes in performance and durability," says Rudy Bruce, President of BiTMICRO Networks.

"Reconnaissance flights and commercial scientific expeditions, especially those performed in the polar regions, can cost thousands if not millions of dollars. By relying on BiTMICRO solutions, scientists can be assured that critical info will not go to waste as a result of a defective storage device," Bruce adds.

OS Compatibility

The E-Disk Ultra320 SCSI product line is fully compatible with major platforms such as Linux, Solaris, Windows, MacOS and LynxOS, AIX, FreeBSD, HP-UX, IRIX, NetBSD, OS/2, QNX, VxWorks, SCO Unixware and Open Server, Solaris x86, and Tru64.

Faster and more reliable than previous versions of SCSI, Ultra320 offers packetized SCSI, an innovative protocol that creates a more efficient method of transferring commands, messages, status, and data between SCSI devices. Other key features include skew compensation, domain validation, double-transition data transfers, free-running clock and cyclic redundancy check.

Visit BiTMICRO Networks at Booth 1755 of DSEi 2005. The event runs from September 13-16, 2005 at the ExCel Convention Center in London, United Kingdom. DSEi is touted as the world's largest international tri-service defence exhibition, with more than one thousand defense and military aerospace companies from 26 countries.
