"Super Talent Introduces New SSD's for Harsh Environments"

 July 1st, 2011

  "Super Talent Technology, a leading manufacturer of flash storage

   solutions and DRAM memory modules, today announced the introduction

   of the DuraDrive AT3, an SSD for demanding industrial environments."

.....

  "... For such environments, we have developed the DuraDrive; 

   a line of Solid State Disks designed to perform in environments well

   beyond the standard consumer specifications. Containing no moving

   parts, an SSD naturally performs well in high-shock and high-vibration

   environments. This makes SSD great candidates for such installations,

   but temperature has always been a limiting factor. While most drives

   were designed to function in environments from 0℃ -> 70℃, the new

   DuraDrive has been specially designed to withstand operating

   temperatures from -40℃ -> +85℃."
