The memory module uses both internal and external Vref (voltage reference) circuits, allowing the storage system to run perfectly while eliminating signal noise. The resulting quick data processing ability helps provide a professional high-performance storage solution for enterprises.

◎ARES Series DDR3-2133 CL9 large-capacity overclocking memory module available in 16GB Kits (4GBx4): superb performance made easy ARES Series DDR3-2133 CL9 high-capacity overclocking memory module is available in 16GB Kits (4GBx4). Tailored for Intel’s new Sandy Bridge LGA1155 processor, it can deliver stunningly high bandwidth and performance. With a combination of high clock rate, huge capacity and low latency, the solution is perfect for overclocking enthusiasts.

※Industrial SSD: RSFD that combines RFID and PHFD that carries PCIe interface while combining traditional hard drive and SSD

◎RSFD (RFID SATA Flash Drive): As a double-interface SSD, the RSFD (RFID SATA Flash Drive) has two storage interfaces: SATA and USB. SATA SSD (SFD) can be used as system drive, and USB SSD (UFD) as data storage drive. This SSD features RFID (radio-frequency identification) function, freeing users from having to install additional software. They can power on/off the UFD according to their needs by using the integrated reader and RFID tags for short-range sensing. As a result, the safety of stored data is strengthened. With the ability to perform AES encryption while accessing data, this RSFD can serve as an encryption device to safeguard personal information more easily.

◎PHFD (PCIe Hybrid Flash Drive): PHFD (PCIe Hybrid Flash Drive) uses PCIe interface and combines traditional hard drive with SSD. Users can employ the HyperDuo technology to use the SSD as a cache drive and accelerates system operation by automatically storing frequently used softwares and files into the SSD. Compared with use of traditional hard drive alone, the PHFD not only gives a performance boost for the system but also provides SSD-specific advantages such as high performance and reliability. Users may also appreciate its large capacity and low cost, which used to be the benefits of traditional hard drives only. Apacer, in addition to the two innovative SSDs above, will also be showcasing a series of industrial SSDs including devices with SATA, PATA, CompactFlash and USB interfaces, as well as a wide array of core data safety technologies for enhanced data storage reliability.
