The company launches M.2 SCSI SSDs for older systems


Solid State Disks Ltda has launched SSD with SCSI interface to replace old disks and increase the longevity of legacy systems

Solid State Disk Ltd (SSDL) has launched a new line of SSDs with SCSI bus for enterprise systems and retro computing enthusiasts. SCSIFLASH disks encapsulate M.2 SSDs in drives with 68- or 80-pin SCSI ports, preventing older computers from shutting down essential services due to catastrophic disk failure near the end of their useful life.



Of course these are not identical drives transfer speed of modern computers, but adapted SSDs with speeds of up to 80 MB/s. However, the value is up to 8x higher than other SSDL solutions designed to keep most legacy systems operational that cannot be decommissioned.

Standard SCSI on demand with data migration

Despite being a technology quite old, it is not uncommon for essential services such as health and safety to still depend on computers equipped with a SCSI interface. This is because, depending on the underlying infrastructure of the systems, a complete migration could lead to blackouts and loss of crucial information, generating losses that go beyond financial ones.

Therefore, SSDL specializes in creating tailor-made on-demand products to keep business and industrial computers operational. In addition to offering the new SSDs in 68- or 80-pin drives, the devices can be configured in SASI, SCSI-1, SCSI-2, Ultra3, and with 256, 512, 768, 1024, 2048, or 4096 sectors byteemulating the ideal specifications for each solution.

Another very important detail is that the company also offers a complete data migration service, so that the system identifies itself the new drivers automatically and without errors up to 100 thousand rewriting cycles. SCSIFLASH drives are certified for use in the aerospace, nuclear, energy and network infrastructure industries, and provide at least an additional 17 years of uninterrupted use with 0% error rates.
