Rimage - Industry 4.0

Rimage has been automating the production of optical media for years, and now also flash memory. All of the manufacturer's industrial memories guarantee data retention time of 10 years, provided they are written once - since frequent modification of the fixed files causes the cells to degrade and their lifespan decreases. However, reading the data does not affect the life of the media.

A flash drive is not equal to a flash drive - although they look similar (often even identical), to see the differences in quality one would have to test the devices in practice.

The storage market has been dominated by marketing products made to increase awareness of the advertised brand - with an eye toward quantity rather than performance. Such solutions are treated as a gadget on which we can store documents or photos - in an industrial application, it is important to provide the user with the highest possible I/O transfer speeds, which will not decrease when many files are stored at the same time.

Conclusion: the right quality electronics allow for better performance.

High-performance controllers and memories are larger, so they can't be mounted in small enclosures. When choosing a USB storage medium, however, we must choose between compactness and risk:

• data loss;
• unreliability of the flash drive;
• differences in the quality of devices in the same batch - even if they look identical.

In an industrial application, it makes sense to go for a proven and efficient solution you can trust

• Rimage customers demand adequate quality with consistent specifications;
• The manufacturer's industrial portable storage media have fixed nominal values;
• Only proven components of leading brands are used for production, which guarantee the reliability of recording speed, speed and compatibility;
• Rimage industrial media are ideal for recording many GB of data, as they are much faster and maintain a constant speed.
