Rugged Military Solid State Drives with NAND Flash for Military, Army and Aerospace Applications

The APG Group designs and manufactures rugged solid-state drives (SSDs), radiation-tolerant electronic devices, and provides assembly capability. It offers strong expertise in multi-chip modules and 3D stacking, ASIC packaging, test and screening, system-in-package and custom build / packaging solutions. TCS delivers a variety of SIP, MMIC, custom, and radiation tolerant products to several US Primes and European defense contractors.

Solid State Drive SSD ECC

Advanced error correction pushes the bit error rate a full two orders of magnitude beyond the industry standard, while exclusive write optimization and wear-levelling techniques reduce erase / program cycles and achieve a 20-fold increase in media life expectancy. The Galatea Standard SATA supports the SATA II, revision 2.6, interface standard at 1.5Gb/s and 3.0Gb/s.

• Plug'n'Play, independent of operating system
• No device driver development required
• Write protect and jumper
