“Our industry standard SATA and PCIe NVMe boot drives can slash annual failure rates by as much
SEUs are an inadvertent change in “bit status” that occurs in digital systems when high-energy neutrons, or alpha particles, randomly strike and cause bits in memory -- logic components -- to literally flip their state. These high-energy particles can originate from terrestrial or extraterrestrial sources such as cosmic rays. SEUs can lead to abnormal operation of digital systems or total system failure. Addressing these errors or upsets within the SSD enable recovery without the need for a full system reboot which is critical in terms of maintaining reliable operations and uninterrupted runtimes.
The SEU mitigation technology is superior to other solutions that simply rely on ECC for the internal SRAM. By having the ability to gracefully reboot itself without a host system reboot, the SSD also handles possible flipped bits in other components within the SSD which might account for an additional
