Greenliant has begun sampling its high-endurance, small-form-factor NVMe NANDrive EX Series ball grid array (BGA) solid-state drives (SSDs) for a range of next-generation industrial, aerospace, and mission-critical programs. Measuring 16mm x 20mm, these BGA SSDs are designed to operate in challenging environmental conditions where long-term reliability and data integrity are essential requirements.

The GLS85LE NVMe NANDrive devices utilize proprietary EnduroSLC Technology, a 3D NAND management system developed by Greenliant. This technology is designed for high-reliability applications that require superior data retention in extreme temperature and high-stress environments. By using advanced hardware ECC capabilities and NAND flash management algorithms, EnduroSLC can extend the write endurance of 1-bit-per-cell (SLC) SSDs to 400,000 program-erase (P/E) cycles.

For security-sensitive applications, the NVMe NANDrive EX Series includes integrated hardware-based protection. These features include OPAL-compliant AES-256 hardware encryption, Hardware Crypto Erase (HCE), and Secure Erase. The series is rated for operation across a temperature range of -40 to +95 degrees Celsius and offers endurance levels of 75,000, 150,000, or 400,000 P/E cycles, reaching up to 17,800 TeraBytes Written (TBW).

In addition to the EX Series, Greenliant is sampling early production units of its industrial temperature NVMe NANDrive PX Series. This version utilizes industry-standard 3-bit-per-cell (TLC) NAND and provides an endurance of 5,000 P/E cycles, supporting up to 6,700 TBW.

The broader NANDrive BGA SSD product family, which includes both PCIe and SATA interfaces, is engineered specifically for embedded systems. These solutions focus on meeting stringent requirements for data retention and endurance across long-lifecycle applications. With over 30 years of solid-state storage design expertise, Greenliant operates product development centers in San Jose, Beijing, Shanghai, Xiamen, and Hsinchu to support global qualification efforts and deployment.
