What is Power Loss Protection (PLP) and why does it matter for industrial applications?
Power Loss Protection is a combination of firmware and hardware mechanisms — typically supercapacitors or advanced firmware algorithms — that safeguard data in transit when a sudden power outage occurs. For applications such as PLC controllers, medical instruments, or embedded computers where data integrity cannot be compromised, PLP is an essential requirement.
How do I choose the right SSD capacity for my application?
SSD capacity selection should account for the OS footprint, application data, log files, and an Over-Provisioning (OP) buffer of approximately 20–30% to maintain sustained performance and extend drive lifespan. Digilux offers application consulting services to help you calculate the optimal capacity and TBW (Total Bytes Written) rating based on your specific workload profile.
How do I edit or remove the 'Frequently Asked Questions' title?
You can edit the title from the FAQ 'Settings' tab in the Editor.
To remove the title from your mobile app go to the 'Site & App' tab in your Owner's app and customize.
What SSD interfaces and form factors does Digilux offer?
Digilux provides a comprehensive SSD lineup including: 2.5" SATA III SSD, M.2 2280 SATA III, PCIe Gen 3 x4 (NVMe), and PCIe Gen 4 x4 (NVMe). Our team can help you select the right interface based on your system compatibility, performance requirements, and budget.
What is the performance difference between PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD and SATA SSD?
PCIe Gen 4 x4 NVMe SSDs deliver sequential read speeds exceeding 7,000 MB/s, while SATA III SSDs are limited by interface bandwidth to approximately 550 MB/s. For applications requiring intensive data throughput or low latency — such as AI edge computing or industrial machine vision — PCIe Gen 4 provides a significant performance advantage.
What are the key design differences between industrial SSDs and consumer SSDs?
Industrial SSDs are built with higher-endurance NAND (SLC/pSLC), hardware-level Power Loss Protection (PLP) circuitry to prevent data corruption during sudden power failures, extended temperature range support, and a fixed Bill of Materials (BOM) to ensure long-term supply consistency — critical for embedded systems and medical devices where component changes require costly re-validation.
