SM2260

ATP has introduced its new lineup of SSDs aimed at industrial applications and are designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures and humidity. The new ATP M.2 NVMe drives use 3D MLC memory to maximize their endurance, and are driven by what we believe to be a SM2260 controller. They come in come in M.2-2280 form-factor (as the name suggests), use a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface and demonstrate a rather high read performance of up to 2.5 GB/s. Such performance levels are rare for industrial-grade SSDs, as they typically rely on a SATA interface and offer fairly conservative performance levels to match. ATP’s M.2 NVMe family of SSDs consist of two sub-families: the N600c for commercial applications and the N600i for industrial...
