Data Integrity
Featuring no moving parts, Ridata SSD’s are resistant to vibration, shock, humidity and temperature extremes. They are very reliable with up to 1,000,000 hours Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF). Data integrity is ensured by static wear leveling and Reed-Solomon ECC (8bit BCH). With SMART features and write endurance cycle (P/E) up to 1,000,000 times (depending on capacity used), the Ridata SSD drive keeps data safe and secure.

Technology
The Ridata 32, 64 GB and 128 GB Ridata Ultra-S Plus MLC stores two bits of data per cell, providing consistent, fast performance and extremely low-power consumption. Its lightweight is ideal for the performance-driven and rugged environments that laptops and other mobile computing devices experience. Laptop compatibility is ensured by a traditional Serial ATA (SATA) connection with 7-pin signal segment and 15-pin power segment.

Performance
User time on a laptop or other mobile computing application is dramatically extended, due to the drive’s low-five-volt power consumption. With no mechanical parts, low battery usage and minimal heat generation the Ridata SSD drive is a natural alternative for a greener environment. Meeting bus interface industry standard Serial ATA (SATA) ensures no host compatibility or upgrading issues. The Ridata SSD offers reliable temperature (0 to 70C) resistance, assuring long-lasting data storage.
