Built for Extreme Conditions

The IX SN530 supports a wide range of environmental conditions, including operating temperatures and shock and vibration, which allow it to be used in systems placed in various physical locations in a vehicle or other equipment, enabling placement flexibility for system designers.

Robust and Reliable Design

A fully vertically integrated solid state drive, the IX SN530 is built with Western Digital’s 96-layer 3D NAND technology, in-house controller and firmware development, internal validation and qualification, and extensive testing; making it ideal for handling a wide variety of industrial and automotive use cases. In addition, Western Digital supports five-year longevity with controlled bill-of-material and provides product change notifications, for customers’ peace of mind.

Further, by offering SLC configurations, the IX SN530 supports write-intensive applications, such as data recorder and data set management, saving the need to use multiple high-capacity TLC devices by delivering 9 times the TLC endurance and up to 5 times the TLC sustained write performance.

Gearing Up with NVMe SSDs

The IX SN530 is available in two M.2 form factors—a compact M.2 2230 and M.2 2280— addressing a variety of system designs and mechanical constraints. This compact solution helps to reduce maintenance costs and enhance serviceability, making the transition to industrial-grade PCIe NVMe SSDs easier.

Operating Temperatures

Today’s technology must be able to operate within a wide range of temperatures. The latest in industrial technologies it is designed for the elements ranging from summer heatwaves to winter snowstorms and the data gathered by these systems is expected to survive these harsh conditions. The new IX SN530 NVMe SSD wide operating temperature support (-40˚C to +85˚C) allows designers to worry less about the need to keep the storage device cool or warm so that they can design their latest innovations with the utmost confidence and flexibility.

Built for Rugged and Extreme Conditions

The IX SN530 is designed to not only operate in a wider range of temperatures, but also to withstand more extreme conditions by having shock resistance of 1,500G at 0.5msec and vibration resistance of forces of 20G at 7Hz to 2,000Hz. Combined with projected endurance of up to 24,000 TBW for supporting write intensive applications, the IX SN530 is ideal for systems placed in remote, hard to access locations, where conditions can change without warning.

Endurance

For write intensive applications, such as data recorder, “black box” and data logging, the IX SN530 SLC option, with endurance of up to up to 24,000 TBW (projected) and sustained sequential write performance of up to 1,950 MB/s, saves the need to use multiple high-capacity TLC devices by delivering 9 times the TLC endurance and up to 5 times the TLC sustained write performance.

In-house Robust Design

The IX SN530 is a Western Digital fully vertically integrated storage solution. From the 96 Layer 3D NAND, in house controller and firmware, to internal validation and qualification. Enabling the high quality and reliability expected of an Industrial grade SSD.

Performance to Match Rugged Demands

Using PCIe Gen 3x4, the IX SN530 delivers incredible speeds to meet the growing performance requirements of Industrial IoT systems. With sequential read speeds of up to 2,400 MB/s and write speeds of up to 1,950 MB/s, the IX SN530 matches its toughness with speed.

NVMe SSDs Provide Options

With two form factors, M.2 2280 and M.2 2230, the IX SN530 provides flexibility for the design and mechanical constraints system designers may encounter when considering high capacity storage solutions.
