Apacer Technology Inc. PV220-M242 PCI Express SSD Flash Drives

Apacer Technology Inc. PV220-M242 PCI Express SSD Flash Drives are designed to deliver exceptionally low latency and outstanding performance in an M.2 2242 mechanical dimensions. These SSDs fully comply with the PCIe Gen3 x4 interface and NVMe 1.3 specifications to operate in different power-management modes while consuming low power. The PV220-M242 flash drives are built with a powerful PCIe controller that supports on-the-module ECC and an efficient Wear Leveling scheme. These industrial SSDs adopt advanced Low-Density Parity Check (LDPC) ECC engines and 3D NAND flash memory for higher capacities of up to 960GB with improved reliability. 

The PV220-M242 SSD flash drives incorporate Sidefill to ensure that products continue to operate normally in high vibration and under extreme environmental changes. This increases product reliability and resistance to various thermal and mechanical shocks. The PV220-M242 flash drives exhibit flash block management, S.M.A.R.T., TRIM, secure erase, over-provisioning, Hyper Cache technology, DataDefender™, and DataRAID™. Typical applications include embedded computing, factory automation, gaming, healthcare, server and networking, and transportation.
