Industrial, Medical, and Military Grade PCMCIA ATA Flash Memory PC Card

Amtron supplies the following industrial grade PCMCIA ATA flash memory PC cards to military, medical, and industrial customers. 

Amtron APRO Pretec SMART Modular SiliconSystems Type II  (5.0 mm) Type II  (5.0 mm) Type II  (5.0 mm) Type I  (3.3 mm) Type II  (5.0 mm) Replacement for Sandisk and Western Digital (WD) / SiliconSystems SiliconDrive PCMCIA ATA Flash Cards

These authentic industrial grade single-level cell (SLC) PCMCIA ATA flash PC cards are much more durable and reliable than the industrial grade multi-level cell (MLC) flash cards and the much cheaper consumer grade counterparts. These industrial grade PCMCIA ATA flash memory drives are built to endure severe operating environments such as extreme cold and hot temperatures, continuous vibration, high shock impact, intensive read-write cycles, etc.

These industrial grade PCMCIA ATA flash PC cards are designed to perform at the highest degree of reliability and compatibility for customers in the aerospace, computer, defense, medical, networking, telecommunication, transportation, and many other industries for monitoring, mass data collection/storage, write intensive mobile and embedded computing and automotive applications.

Amtron PCMCIA ATA Flash PC Cards are widely used on aircraft including airplanes and military helicopters.

Almost all Amtron PCMCIA ATA Flash cards have National Stock Number (NSN) assigned by the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).

Authentic Industrial-Grade vs. Consumer-Grade

Authentic industrial grade flash memory products are designed and manufactured for industrial and military applications that require the highest degree of reliability. The authentic industrial grade flash memory products are built to endure severe operating environments such as extreme cold and hot temperatures, continuous vibration, high shock impact, intensive read-write cycles, etc. The industrial grade flash memory products feature vital benefits such as wear-leveling, write protection, error correction, sustained write speed, etc.. Such features are essential to industries that require a more robust digital storage option to ensure reliable and repeatable operations.

Consumer grade flash memory products are built with the much cheaper and less reliable controller chipset and flash memory. Some manufacturers of popular consumer-grade memory products qualify their lower-cost memory products as "industrial grade" memory products simply because the components can survive the industrial wide temperatures and sometimes maybe the vibration and shock conditions.  However, these "industrial" consumer-grade memory products are not durable and reliable.  At the beginning the low pricings of these so called "industrial-grade" memory products are very appealing but eventually the reliability problem will appear.

PCMCIA ATA Flash PC Card Compatibility List

Amtron, APRO, Pretec, and SMART Modular ATA Flash PC Cards are compatible with Western Digital (WD) / SiliconSystems' SiliconDrive PC Cards.

[* SiliconSystems, Inc was acquired by Western Digital Corp in March 2009. Thus SiliconSystems brand name was replaced by WD after the acquisition.]

Amtron, APRO, Pretec and SMART Modular's auto-sensing design makes their ATA Flash PC Card an all-in-one product that envelopes the SiliconSystems SiliconDrive PC Cards including SSD-Pxxx(I)-30xx series, SSD-Pxxx(I)-31xx series, & SSD-Pxxx(I)-35xx series.

The letter (I) in the SiliconDrive part number SSD-Pxxx(I)-3xxx stands for "Industrial Wide Temperature Range, -40°C to +85°C".  Without the letter I, it means "Commercial (Standard) Temperature Range, 0°C to +70°C".
The corresponding Amtron part numbers are ATA-SUxxxxC, where C stands for Standard (Commercial) Temperature Range , 0°C to +70°C .
The corresponding APRO part numbers are SRAFCxxxx-HACSC-AA, where the S and C stands for Standard (Commercial) Temperature Range , 0°C to +70°C.

[The following compatibility list is by no means comprehensive and is provided for reference olny]

*Auto-sensing: automatically switch to "fixed disk mode" on IDE bus or "removable disk mode" on PCMCIA (PC Card) bus; also automatically detect data transfer mode and switch to "PIO mode" or "Ultra DMA (UDMA) mode".

PCMCIA ATA Flash PC Card for Dassault Falcon, Gulfstream, etc. Airplanes / Jets

Amtron 1GB/2GB, APRO 1GB/2GB, Pretec, and SMART Modular 1GB/2GB PCMCIA ATA Flash Memory PC Cards are compatible.

[The following Dassault Falcon specifications might also be applicable for Gulfstream & other aircrafts. Please refer to your aircraft technical manual for the pertinent specifications.]

Please read the following specifications for PCMCIA Memory PC Cards used on Dassault Falcon airplanes / jets.

Dassault Falcon recommends installing a 1GB or 2GB PCMCIA card at your earliest convenience, if your airplane is not equipped with one already.

-	Must have a memory capacity not greater than 2GB
-	Must be a Type I or Type II PCMCIA card (not Type III)
-	Must have an “extended” or “industrial” temperature rating (at least -25 to +75°C operating range)
-	Must be a “flash” card, which is completely solid state with no moving parts. Flash cards is also hot-swappable
-	Must have a transfer rate (read/write) > 2.0 MB/sec
