ARC Helps STEC's New MACH4 Compact Flash Capture HD Multimedia Content at Twice the Speed Of Competitive Offerings
- New ARC-Based™ MACH4 CompactFlash SSD Delivers 80 MB/s;
- Affords Professional Video Equipment A High Capacity Alternative to Hard Drive
Since 1994 STEC has been a leader in innovative solid state storage technology, with particular emphasis on high performance and high reliability. STEC’s ARC-Based™ MACH4 enhances its SSD offering by providing CompactFlash storage with twice the data transfer rate (up to 80MB/s) of other CompactFlash devices. This performance opens up a new opportunity with professional video equipment manufacturers, who have found hard drives a less-than-optimum storage media for high definition (HD) video. HD video cameras now have an SSD replacement for hard drives, which provide comparable storage capacity, but are smaller, consume less power, have no mechanical vibration, and offer higher performance.
Patrick Wilkison, vice president of marketing and business development at STEC, said, “ARC’s configurable technology has enabled our engineering team to create a highly differentiated product that provides a more optimized computing platform to system OEMs. The result is a solution that delivers higher value by greatly speeding access to stored digital and multimedia content.”
Bill Jackson, vice president of marketing at ARC International, said, “STEC is among our growing list of customers in the solid state storage market who recognize that providing superior performance to their OEM customers is the way to assure product success. We applaud their ingenuity and ability to develop a unique and innovative ARC-Based solution.”
Thriving CompactFlash Market
According to Semico Research, the availability of flash memory with very high storage capacities has spawned nothing short of a revolution in the way consumers and business people regard and access their data. Semico expects this trend to continue. As a result, the Phoenix AZ market research firm is forecasting that the Flash market will experience continued robust growth and by 2012 will ship 1.3 billion units with a market value of $19 billion.
