ZEUSIOPS SSD   ZEUS SSD   MACH2 SSD
   
ZeusIOPS is a unique solid state drive designed to create a storage performance revolution for enterprise applications. ZeusIOPS enables storage systems to realize outstanding, sustainable Input/Outputs per second (IOPS) to relieve performance bottlenecks associated with traditional rotating media disk drives.   STEC's family of Zeus Solid State Drives (SSD) are rugged, high-capacity, and high-throughputs memory and mass storage solutions for mission-critical systems in a variety of industries. Applications include data recording devices, oil pipeline inspection guides, and industrial automation robots and scientific equipment.   The STEC Mach2 family is a new platform of solid state drives offered in different form factor and interface. All the Mach2 SSD are equipped with an extremely fast and cost optimized Multi channel controller capable of doubling the performance of flash components.
MACH8 SSD   ATA PC CARD   COMPACTFLASH CARD
   
STEC MACH8 Solid State Drive is revolutionizing the storage world by delivering to the users the ultimate level of reliability and performance in a fully integrated device.   STEC Industrial Grade ATA PC Cards are perfect alternatives to hard disk drives due to their high reliability and low cost per useable megabyte. ATA PC Cards are designed specifically for equipment requiring standard form factors and moderate capacities (up to 16GB), such as data recorders, avionics systems and telecommunication applications.   One of the most widely utilized flash memory products in the world, STEC CompactFlash has become the card of choice for discriminating customers requiring the highest quality and reliability in a high-capacity yet compact storage solution. STEC CF cards are available in Type I format up to 8GB and Type II format up to 16GB, with 32GB available in the near future.
SMALL CARD (SD, MINISD, MICROSD)   MULTIMEDIACARD (MMC & MMCplus)   FLASH MODULES (UFM & IFM)
   
STEC Industrial Grade Secure Digital Memory Cards are small, removable and non-volatile flash memories with a high performance interface. STEC offers 3 different form factors to fit the customer needs for removability, portability and space optimization.
Available both in small and large capacity, STEC's Industrial Grade Secure Digital cards are specifically designed, manufactured and tested to withstand extreme environmental conditions and to improve system reliability and endurance.
  STEC Industrial Grade MMCplus cards are small, removable and non-volatile flash memories with a high performance interface. Engineered, manufactured and tested for performance and reliability, STEC Industrial Grade MMCplus is the ideal solution for high volume applications requiring a cost-optimized storage media in a small form factor.
  STEC Flash Modules provide non-volatile, solid-state storage ideal for embedded applications. With built-in wear leveling algorithms, on-the-fly ECC, and no moving parts, Flash Modules provide superior data integrity and reliability in a compact design. With both USB and IDE supported interfaces STEC's UFM (USB) and IFM (IDE) provide the perfect solution for a variety of embedded applications including Blade Servers, Point of Sale terminals, Casino Gaming machines, Single Board Computers, and Networking equipment, all of which require high-performance, uncompromising reliability, and a storage solution that lasts for the long life of these embedded systems.
SINGLE CHIP DRIVE (uSCD & iSCD)   USB FLASH DRIVE (UFD)   IDE FLASH DRIVE 2.5" (FLD)
   
The Single Chip Drive combines a standard IDE or USB interface with the latest Single Level Cell NAND Flash technology in a 50-ball BGA package, making it ideal for designers who are seeking solid state storage in a small form factor.   STEC's Industrial Grade USB Flash Drive (UFD) is more than just portable storage. Tailored for Industrial Applications that require high reliability, operation in extreme environments, and controlled BOM, it provides true industrial grade solid-state storage in a thumb-drive package.   STEC Industrial Grade 2.5" IDE Flash Drives utilize the latest in solid state storage and are ideal alternatives to lower-capacity (up to 16GB) IDE hard disk drives due to their higher reliability, greater endurance, and higher tolerance to industrial application environments.
DDR3   DDR2   DDR
   
DDR3 continues the evolution of the double data rate technologies to provide continued improvements in performance. The DDR3 technology is just being introduced and is not projected to be cost competitive with the DDR2 technology until 2009 or 2010.   DDR2 is an evolutionary enhancement over DDR2. This technology is currently the largest selling technology today and offers the best cost per bit. Most new systems designs today would likely choose to use DDR2. It takes advantage of the DDR improvements to transfer data on both edges of the clock.  

Double Data Rate (DDR) is an advancement over SDRAM technology that increases memory bandwidth and performance while maintaining competitive pricing. DDR is the evolutionary technology that succeeded the previous standard Synchronous DRAM technology, which is now called SDR (Single Data Rate).

SDRAM   EDO/FPM    
     
SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) is the common term to classify PC66 (1997), PC100 (1998) and PC133 SDRAM (1999/2000). SDRAMs are based on standard dynamic RAM chips, but have sophisticated features that make them considerably faster.   FPM (Fast Page Mode) and EDO (Extended Data Out) technologies are older technologies popular in the late 1980's and early 1990's.
