BLACK-series

EXTREME RUGGEDIZATION. PROVEN RELIABILITY.

Military-grade SSDs purpose-built for the harshest Defense + Aerospace environments.

-55°C to +90°C | 100G 11ms Shock | 30 gRMS Vibration


MEMKOR BLACK-series SSDs are engineered for applications demanding extreme environmental resilience. Advanced mechanical design, high-reliability components, and enhanced ruggedization enable reliable operation across extreme temperature, shock, and vibration environments.


Available with high-endurance NAND, rugged SATA connectors, conformal coating, and low-CTE underfill, BLACK can be configured for the environmental and lifecycle requirements of your platform.


Key Benefits:

  • Extreme Ruggedization: -55°C to +90°C operation | Up to 100G, 11 ms shock | Up to 30 gRMS vibration
  • High Endurance: Up to 60K P/E cycle NAND for write-intensive and long-life applications.
  • Enhanced Reliability: Optional conformal coating, low-CTE underfill, and IPC Class 3 manufacturing/assembly options.
  • Design Flexibility: Custom pinouts and configuration options simplify integration into application-specific platforms.
  • Rugged Connectivity: Optional Amphenol HiVibe and Smiths NEBULA SATA connectors for high-vibration and high insertion/removal-cycle applications.
  • Advanced Security: AES-256 hardware encryption, TCG Opal 2.0, Secure Erase, Write Protect, and available FIPS configurations.
  • Thermal Management: Integrated thermal protection and throttling help maintain reliable operation across demanding temperature environments.
  • Lifecycle Control: Optional Locked Bill-of-Materials (LockedBOM) and proactive obsolescence management simplify qualification and support long-term program continuity.


BUILT FOR HIGH-RELIABILITY APPLICATIONS

Available with PCBs manufactured to IPC-6012 Class 3 and assemblies built to IPC-A-610 Class 3 requirements for high-reliability Defense + Aerospace applications.


LOCKED BOM. LONG-TERM SUPPORT.

MEMKOR Locked BOM and obsolescence management programs provide configuration control, simplify qualification, and support long program lifecycles.


TESTED BEYOND THE SPEC

Every BLACK Series production unit undergoes extended-temperature testing and 12–48 hours of burn-in at MEMKOR headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona before it ships.


Contact MEMKOR for configuration guidance and application-specific support.
