I-grade USB Drives

USB Flash Module (UFM) provides non-volatile, solid-state storage in a compact design, making it perfectly suited for embedded applications. The standard USB 2.0 interface provides designers with a true plug-n-play storage device, allowing for short design cycles and fast time to market. STEC’s U2, state-of-the-art, USB 2.0 flash memory controller is incorporated in the UFM, providing high data reliability and endurance. The flash management software that is embedded in the controller emulates a hard disk, enabling read/write operations that are identical to a standard, sector-based hard disk. Sophisticated wear leveling algorithms ensures greater flash endurance, while automatic bad block management and a built-in ECC Engine guarantee the highest data reliability. Based on a BCH error correct algorithm, the ECC engine can correct up to 12-bit errors and per 512 bytes.
