  Used with data-loggers in mechanical test benches
  Can be used for firmware storage in industrial appliances
  Suitable for on-board storage in electronics prototypes

What physical form factor should I expect for installation?

It uses an mSATA form factor with a low-profile height of 4.85mm to fit Compact internal sockets.

How does the device handle high-temperature deployments?

The drive is specified to operate at temperatures up to 75°C, allowing use near heat-generating components.

Which approval applies for UK market conformity?

The unit carries UKCA approval for conformity with applicable UK requirements.

What type of NAND flash is implemented and why does it matter?

It employs 3D NAND, which increases storage density and typically improves endurance characteristics compared with Planar NAND.

Is this suitable for secure embedded systems requiring encryption?

Yes, it incorporates 256-bit AES encryption to protect stored content against unauthorised access.
