IRVINE, Calif., May 19, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Microsemi Corporation(Nasdaq:MSCC), a leading provider of semiconductor technology aimed at building a smart, secure, connected world, today announced that its TRRUST-StorTM environmentally ruggedized, high reliability solid state drives (SSDs) are the industry's first SSDs to pass zero-failure testing at vibration levels that are consistent with the industry's most severe environments. The rigorous tests have validated the SSDs' ability to deliver superior reliability and performance in mission-critical aerospace, defense and military applications.
"No other SSD manufacturers have published zero-failure results at this level of vibration testing, which was conducted while our drives were fully operational, reading and writing data," said Jack Bogdanski, director of marketing for Microsemi. "The ability for SSDs to perform flawlessly under adverse environmental conditions is becoming increasingly important for applications where it is critical that data be protected at all times."
Test Results
Microsemi's tested SSD units were pre-conditioned at 85°C for 336 hours. The qualification units were vibrated at the following levels:
