Solid state drives (SSDs) are inherently more reliable than
their rotating platter counterparts; after all, they feature
no moving parts. But with so many SSD choices on the market
today, it is wise to look past the "speeds and feeds"
instead address the meaningful differences. One such differentiator
is the way in which STEC SSDs are tested at our factory in
Orange County, California.
The overall goal of the STEC SSD testing methodology is to
ensure a quality product and to catch defects that less rigorous
testing methodologies may not. Quality is engineered into
each SSD from design inception with appropriate design tolerances,
proper component selection, and conservative component derating.
Every SSD is then 100% verified by a test environment that
is informative, versatile, thoroughly exhaustive and reflective
of the real world, mission-critical conditions our demanding
customers use our drives for every day.
