High-Temperature Environments
Limited internal space in gaming machines causes SSDs to operate under high-temperature conditions, increasing the risk of data integrity issues and necessitating advanced error correction.
High-Endurance Requirements
Continuous read/write operations require storage solutions with exceptional endurance, capable of handling frequent Program/Erase (P/E) cycles.
Data Security
Safeguarding sensitive data from being stolen, modified, or destroyed is paramount, necessitating strong security features.
Minimizing Operational Costs
Frequent hardware replacements or repairs would result in high operational costs, so the manufacturer sought a long-term, reliable solution with controlled material costs and longevity support.
To address these challenges, Innodisk provides a highly tailored and cost-effective solution by leveraging iSLC technology, ensuring the following key features:
- Custom Reliability Testing: Innodisk executes customized reliability experiments based on the customer’s requirements, conducting high-temperature simulations and providing reports to ensure the SSD would maintain zero later bad blocks and retry counts, even under harsh operating conditions.
- High-Endurance iSLC Technology: Innodisk’s iSLC technology, with an impressive P/E cycle of 100K, offers exceptional endurance while maintaining cost-effectiveness, making it ideal for the high workload of gaming machines.
- Write-Protect Mechanism: To enhance data security, Innodisk implements a hardware-based write-protect trigger mechanism, ensuring data protection from unauthorized access, modification, or destruction.
- Longevity and Controlled BOM: Innodisk ensures long-term support for the SSDs, offering controlled Bill of Materials (BOM) services to prevent unexpected component changes and ensure stable product performance throughout the machine’s operational lifecycle.
Through Innodisk’s innovative solutions, the Australian gaming machine manufacturer enables to overcome the critical challenges of high-temperature operations, high-endurance needs, and data security. With the implementation of high-performance, cost-effective iSLC SSDs and customized reliability tests, Innodisk ensures the long-term reliability and integrity of the gaming machines, while reducing operational costs and preventing frequent hardware replacements. This successful partnership further reinforced the manufacturer’s confidence in Innodisk's products and services, leading to a long-term collaboration in the highly competitive gaming industry.
