Browse answers on product selection and BOM shortlisting, industrial DRAM / NVMe / SATA DOM fit, temperature and power grades, compatibility and installation, data reliability, warranty and after-sales, ordering, customization, and program-specific notes such as GCC DDR4 — maintained by Loongtion Application Engineering.

What are the sequential read and write speeds of solid state drives (SSDs) with different protocols respectively?
SATA Protocol (including 2.5-inch, mSATA, M.2 SATA): Maximum sequential read speed up to 520MB/s, maximum sequential write speed up to 480MB/s.
What is the capacity range of solid state drives? Do you support customization of larger capacities?
Standard Capacity: Industrial 128GB~8TB (2.5-inch SATA), Enterprise 256GB~2TB (M.2 SATA), Military-spec 32GB~256GB.
How to Choose Between SSDs with TLC, MLC, and SLC Flash Memory Types?
SLC: Highest number of erase/write cycles (30000PE), longest lifespan, suitable for high-frequency erase/write scenarios (such as industrial recorders, real-time data acquisition modules), but with smaller capacities (mostly 4GB~64GB).
What temperature range do Loongtion industrial SSDs support?
Many Loongtion industrial SSD and memory products support wide-temperature grades such as -40°C to 85°C (industrial) and extended ranges up to -55°C to 105°C on selected SKUs (e.g. GCC / harsh-environment lines).

Always confirm the exact grade on the product datasheet for your part number. Contact Loongtion FAE for application-specific validation: /contact.
What is pSLC and why does it matter for industrial storage?
pSLC (pseudo-SLC) stores one bit per cell while using TLC/MLC NAND die, improving endurance and retention versus standard TLC at the cost of lower capacity.

It is commonly used in industrial eMMC and embedded modules where write endurance and data integrity matter more than maximum density. See Loongtion industrial eMMC and chip products under /products/storage-chips.
How to select storage for GCC / Middle East harsh environments?
For Gulf region deployments (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, etc.), prioritize:
• Wide-temperature rated components (-40°C to 85°C minimum; extended grades for outdoor enclosures)
• Validated thermal design and throttling behavior under sustained load
• Stable BOM and long lifecycle for field maintenance

Loongtion publishes region-focused solutions such as /lp/ddr4-gcc-extreme for extreme-heat DDR4 and offers rugged industrial SSD lines for field equipment.
What is the typical operating temperature range of an industrial SSD?
Standard industrial SSD grades are commonly rated -40°C to 85°C (industrial wide-temperature). Consumer SSDs are typically 0°C to 70°C.

Military-spec and GCC-oriented SKUs may extend to -55°C to 105°C or similar — always verify on the datasheet for your part number.

Operating temperature affects reliability, retention and throttling under sustained load in outdoor cabinets and vehicle electronics.
