Solid State Drives (SSD) Explained – Everything you need to know about making a decision in performance based storage

April 16th, 2010 by Andrew Pakula

What is a SSD (Solid State Drive)?

Solid State Drive (SSD)SSD is the acronym for Solid State Drive. SSD’s are highly reliable storage devices that use solid-state memory to store data. An SSD emulates a hard disk drive and is available in the typical interfaces IDE, SATA or SCSI.

Solid State Drives can withstand extreme shock, vibration, temperature, altitude and harsh environmental conditions while operating without compromising on data integrity. Since there are no moving parts involved, data access time occurs as quickly as 0.1ms compared to typical consumer hard drives with spinning disks that can take 10-15ms, on average.

Standard models operate in temperatures of 0 – 70° C. and special industrial models can withstand operating temperatures of -40 – 85° C. SSD’s are the same size and shape as traditional desktop hard drives (available in 1.8-inch, 2.5-inch, and 3.5-inch form factors) and utilize the same connectors making them easy to install in traditional PC based equipment.

What is the difference between SLC and MLC Solid State Drives?

There are two types of NAND Flash chips available in Solid State Drives. Single-level cell (SLC) and multi-level cell (MLC). Both are similar in design and even look the same but their differences are quite significant.

What is SLC?
Single Level Cell (SLC) flash outperforms Multi Level Cell (MLC) flash.

What is MLC?
Multi Level Cell (MLC) flash has low cost benefits, but performs at slower speeds.

SSD: MLC vs SLC

Advantages of SLC over MLC

  • SLC flash accesses and writes to the NAND flash chips much faster, by using “simpler” control logic with 1 bit versus the 2 bits used by MLC flash.
  • The program operations in SLC chips last 100,000 cycles, ten times longer than MLC.
  • At a first glance the SLC drives appear to be much more expensive than MLC. However, when you consider the increased performance, higher reliability and increased lifespan the aggregate cost is much lower for the SLC based units.

Advantages/Disadvantages of SLC and MLC based Solid State Drives

Features SLC MLC
High Density Lower Capacities
Higher Capacities
Low Cost per Bit Higher than MLC
Lower Cost
Endurance 100,000 cycles
10,000 cycles
Operating Temperature Range (industrial, more rugged)
(commercial, less rugged)
Low Power Consumption Low Power Better Performance
Not as efficient as SLC
Write/Erase Speeds Best Performance
Not as good as SLC
Write/Erase Endurance Best Performance
Not as good as SLC
Density 16Mbit 32Mbit/64Mbit
Block Size 64Kbyte 128Kbyte
Architecture x8 x8 / x16

The above performance factors make SLC based Solid State Drives an excellent fit for mission critical and important applications where reliability, performance and long term support are desired. MLC based Solid State Drives are ideal for applications that are not as critical and where saving costs is a tradeoff for a bit less performance and long term reliability.

Our 20th anniversary is around the corner

March 25th, 2010 by Andrew Pakula

Greetings and Salutations,

Stealth - 20 YearsWay back in the beginning (circa 1990) while working on automation and control systems someone handed us an IBM “AT” PC and asked, “can you make this thing last?” You see office grade computers were not meant to operate on the plant floor and the catastrophic failures were numerous. Flash Forward – 20 years and thousands of systems later, who would have predicted we would become industry leaders recognized worldwide for our products and services.

Our start to the year 2010 has been a very positive one. We are seeing many projects returning, new system deployments in all kinds of industries and the growing adoption of Windows 7. Thank you for your trust in us as shown by your orders.

You can find us on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and our StealthBLOG for up to date information. Stealth follows a strict privacy policy and we promise not sell, rent or share your private information with anyone. We thank you for your time and continued support and of course always welcome your feedback.

- Ed Boutilier
