High-Throughput NVMe Performance in a Mid-Sized Form Factor PRESTONICs presents ADATA Industrial M.2 2242 PCIe SSDs, engineered to bring high-bandwidth NVMe storage performance to compact embedded architectures where space is constrained and standard M.2 2280 drives cannot fit. Featuring PCIe interfaces, strict Bill of Materials (BOM) locking, and dedicated Project Protection, this lineup ensures seamless “Design-In” integration for next-generation edge AI and industrial compute hardware.
Key Engineering Highlights:
High-Bandwidth PCIe Interface: Supporting PCIe Gen4 x2 and Gen3 x4 configurations with NVMe protocol efficiency, delivering high sequential throughput and random IOPS by bypassing SATA interface limits.
Compact M.2 2242 Footprint: Measures 22mm x 42mm, providing the ideal dimensional compromise for space-restricted Single Board Computers (SBCs), COM Express carrier boards, and low-profile IPC chassis.
Hardware Power Loss Protection (PLP): Select models feature integrated hardware PLP circuitry with backup tantalum capacitors to protect data in flight during sudden power loss events.
Wide-Temperature Endurance: Validated and thermally screened to operate continuously across extreme industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C, preventing thermal throttling in fanless edge enclosures.
Industrial Durability & Security: Equipped with 30µ” gold finger contact plating, ASTM B809-95 compliant anti-sulfurization resistors, hardware AES 256-bit encryption, TCG Opal 2.0, and A+ SLC high-endurance options (up to 100K P/E cycles).
