Apacer’s DataRAID™ algorithm involves aggregating the parity data used for error checking. So, in the event that data becomes corrupted, the parity data can be compared to the existing data and the corrupted data can be rebuilt.

Developed for read-intensive applications in particular, Smart Read Refresh™ is employed to make sure that during read operations, when the read operation threshold is reached, the data is refreshed by re-writing it to a different block for subsequent use

Page mapping is an advanced flash management technology and can be considered the ideal solution for industrial applications to increase random access speed and improve SSD lifespan, reduce block erase frequency, and achieve optimized performance.

Apacer’s SSDs support over-provisioning, which sets aside a certain portion of the physical capacity of the memory to carry out garbage collection, wear-leveling and bad block management. The result is a longer operating lifetime.

S.M.A.R.T. is a self-monitoring system that provides indicators of drive health as well as potential disk problems. It serves as a warning for users from unscheduled downtime by monitoring and displaying critical drive information.

Apacer’s DataDefender™ combines both firmware and hardware mechanisms to ensure data integrity. Together, they allow more time for volatile data to be stored in the event of power loss.

Apacer based the Instant Keychange™ function on AES encryption, and it can be trigged either via hardware or software. Destroying the original key and creating a new one takes less than a second – much faster than traditional forms of drive erasure.

When this command is given, NVMe Secure Erase can securely wipe out the user data in the drive and protects it from malicious attack.

TCG Opal handles the encryption/decryption of information within the device without requiring a host, enabling fast encryption/ decryption and minimizing the risk of data leakage without undermining system performance.

Write Protect can prevent drives from unauthorized data writing via a hardware switch/pin or vendor software command.

Apacer’s Sidefill technology strengthens the connections between solder joints and their board, making them more robust and vibration-resistant. It also allows for heat dissipation to offset thermal damage.

Thermal throttling mechanism dynamically adjusts frequency scaling to enhance data reliability and provides sustained performance while overheating.

Apacer’s products are designed with wide temperature support to ensure operation reliability in extreme temperatures ranging from -40ºC to 85ºC.

Apacer has developed the Opaque software as a custom implementation of the TCG Opal 2.0 standard. Its accessible interface allows users to control useful security functions, such as pre-boot authorization and drive revert.

Apacer SSDWidget 2.0 is a comprehensive disk monitoring and maintaining utility. Designed with the concepts of S.M.A.R.T., SSDWidget2.0 can monitor SSD’s health-related information and provide SSD status for SSD lifetime monitoring and workload analysis.
