RealSSD Embedded USB – A Low-Cost, Embedded Storage Option
Rugged, reliable, cost-effective, and small, Micron's RealSSD™ devices are designed to give our customers a choice in embedded data storage. And these embedded USBs are a better choice than hard disk drives (HDDs)—for many reasons.
Our embedded USBs are a lot smaller, more durable, and easier to design in than HDDs. They combine flexibility, performance, and fast time-to-market, and they cost less than traditional HDDs.
Micron is known for advanced and innovative technology, and our new RealSSD embedded USBs are a great example of a better, faster, and less expensive NAND solution that offers distinct competitive advantages for solid state designs. Use our Web site to find out all you need to know about designing one in to your embedded, boot-up application.

SSDÂ vs. HDD Demo
See how an SSD measures up against an HDD. This demo uses two PCs, one with an SSD and one with HDD, to illustrate the effect that vibrations can have on data rate. Â

With no moving parts, the reliability of Micron's RealSSD embedded USBs far surpass many of the best-in-class, rugged HDDs. They can sustain 500G shocks and operate within extended and industrial temperature ranges.
Micron’s embedded USBs offer the right densities (1GB to 8GB) at the right price, and they do it in a package that’s smaller than a 1.8†HDD. Gone are the days of paying for more capacity than you need for your embedded, boot application. And gone are the days of wasting valuable space that could be devoted to advanced features.

6 Advantages of Designing with RealSSD Embedded USBs
Cost Effectiveness
Costs less to implement than even the least expensive hard disk drive (HDD).Â
Small SizeÂ
Smaller than a 1.8-inch HDD, an embedded USB lets you pack more features into less space.
Reliability
Withstands extreme shock and vibrations and has a wider operating temperature range than competing technologies, ensuring higher reliability in demanding environments.
Low Power
Draws less than 330mW of power when actively reading or writing data.
Performance
Enables faster boot-up (access time) than many HDDs, and the USB interface is already defined in most boot sequencers.
NAND Expertise
Extends Micron’s proven quality, reliability, and compatibility in NAND to a new product line that can be designed with confidence.
