Industrial SSDs

An industrial SSD is a solid-state drive built for wider temperatures, shock, vibration and longer product life than a consumer drive. It typically adds a fixed bill of materials, higher-endurance NAND options and features such as power-loss protection, so it behaves the same across years of production.

A commercial SSD is rated from 0°C to 70°C and suits offices, labs and climate-controlled equipment. An industrial SSD is rated from −40°C to 85°C for outdoor, vehicle and factory use. AMP offers both grades in most form factors, with the same fixed bill of materials and lifecycle support.

Industrial-grade AMP drives are rated from −40°C to 85°C. Commercial-grade drives are rated from 0°C to 70°C, and automotive-temperature BGA SSDs are rated from −40°C to 105°C.

Often, yes. An embedded SSD is any SSD built into a device rather than added by the end user. M.2, mSATA, 2.5-inch SATA and E1.S drives are plug-in embedded SSDs that sit in a socket or bay inside the system, while a BGA SSD solders directly to the board. Industrial embedded SSDs add wide temperature ratings and a fixed bill of materials. For other soldered flash, see eMMC and UFS.

Start with the connector on your board. A SATA port or 2.5-inch bay takes a 2.5-inch SATA SSD; an mSATA socket takes mSATA; an M.2 slot takes M.2 SATA or M.2 NVMe depending on how it is wired; server backplanes take U.2, U.3, E1.S or E3.S; and new compact designs can solder a BGA SSD directly to the board.

SATA tops out around 550 MB/s and works with almost every embedded board and legacy system, which makes it a safe choice for operating systems and logging. NVMe runs over PCIe and reaches several thousand MB/s, which suits video, AI inference and servers. Choose the interface your host supports, then the speed you need.

pSLC (pseudo-SLC) stores one bit per cell on 3D NAND, which raises endurance well above standard TLC at the cost of capacity. Use it for systems that write constantly, such as data loggers, video recorders and industrial controllers.

AMP industrial SSDs range from 4GB to 30.72TB depending on form factor: up to 20TB in 2.5-inch SATA, 15.36TB in M.2 NVMe, E1.S and E3.S, and 30.72TB in U.2 and U.3.

Selected AMP drives include power-loss protection, which helps keep data and the drive’s mapping intact if power drops during a write. Support varies by drive, and each product page lists the features of that part.

AMP SSDs carry a warranty of three to five years, depending on the product. Coverage ends at the warranty period or when the drive reaches its published endurance limit (TBW, DWPD or P/E cycles), whichever comes first. Product-specific documents or customer agreements may set different terms. See the AMP warranty policy.

AMP assembles and tests its drives in Santa Ana, California, under an AS9100D-certified quality system.

Yes. Send the existing part number, host platform, capacity, temperature range and annual quantity, and AMP will recommend compatible drives to qualify.
