With UK legislation requiring commercial truck drivers to use DVR, the need for reliable and high-performance storage is increasing.

This document provides an in-depth overview of Exascend’s premier products, cutting-edge technologies, advanced security features, and the exceptional value we bring to security DVR solutions. Discover why Exascend stands out as a top choice for solution integrators.

Exascend is Reducing Real World Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) 

Purpose designed to meet the rigorous demands of DVR applications, our new high-capacity M.2, 2.5” and U.2 SSDs featuring hardware-based Power Loss Protection (PLP) sets new industry standards in storage capacity and density. These solutions achieve an optimal balance of performance, capacity, density, power efficiency, and thermal management. They lower the total cost of

ownership (TCO) by reducing hardware and maintenance costs, while significantly enhancing reliability.

Market Leader in Storage Capacity and Density:

Exascend is revolutionizing storage infrastructure with unparalleled storage density. Our 16 TB M.2 SSD deliver extraordinary consolidation of storage, occupying less than 2% of the space required by traditional HDDs. This breakthrough empowers system integrators to optimize infrastructure, significantly reducing space requirements and overall costs.

Unmatched Performance Density: Engineered specifically for DVR applications, Exascend’s high-capacity M.2, 2.5” and U.2 SSDs provide superior performance in high-bandwidth recording environments, enabling flawless capture of high-resolution video. With M.2 as a prime example, our 8TB and 16TB M.2 SSDs deliver sustained write speeds greater than 2.5 GB/s, surpassing the combined performance of 15 conventional HDDs.

Eco-friendly, Green Storage: Driven by commitment to sustainability, Exascend is at the forefront of developing eco-conscious, green storage. Our SSD leads the industry in energy efficiency, achieving exceptional performance per watt. Reaching speeds of 1GB/s with less than 3.5W of power consumption – achieving performance equivalent to 6 traditional HDDs, while using a mere fraction of the energy. While HDDs idle at 7.5W per drive, totaling 45W for six drives, Exascend SSDs consume less than 1W per drive, totaling less than 6W—offering an unparalleled reduction in power consumption. This revolutionary energy efficiency, coupled with uncompromised performance, establishes Exascend as the leader in environmentally responsible storage technology.

Thermal Efficiency & ScalabilityThermally Efficient: Our exceptionally low power consumption effectively addresses thermal challenges that arise when scaling performance and storage density within confined spaces and demanding operating environments.

Improved Operating Range: Exascend SSDs demonstrate superior resilience in extreme temperatures compared to traditional HDDs. HDDs are limited to a 0°C to 65°C range, whereas Exascend SSDs function reliably from 0°C to 70°C, and even offer models designed for a broader -40°C to 85°C range.

Scalability: Exascend SSDs, with their industry-leading density and compact size, provide a future-proof solution for scaling storage. Organizations can seamlessly add cameras and handle increasing data demands without the physical space constraints associated with traditional HDDs.

Unrivaled Reliability and Resilience

Enhanced Reliability: Shock and Vibration: Exascend SSDs deliver superior reliability in environments with high shock and vibration. Their lack of moving parts eliminates the risk of mechanical failure and resulting data loss inherent in HDDs, guaranteeing consistent performance and data protection.

Significant Weight Reduction: Exascend SSDs bring dramatic reduction in storage weight. Compared to a typical 700-gram (1.5 lbs) HDD, our M.2 SSDs weigh a mere 10 – 12 grams — a reduction of over 98%. This is particularly advantageous for mobile DVR systems.

Unmatched Data Integrity: Exascend SSDs offer superior data integrity compared to conventional HDDs. With a non-recoverable error rate of 10⁻¹⁷, compared to HDD’s 10⁻¹⁵, Exascend SSDs achieves a 100-fold improvement in protecting critical data from corruption and loss.

Improved reliability and AFR (annualized failure rate): Exascend SSDs demonstrate substantially improved reliability metrics compared to HDDs, as evidenced by Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) data. Backblaze, a cloud storage provider, reports an average HDD AFR of 1.5%. In contrast, Exascend SSDs achieve an AFR of less than 0.15%, representing a 10X improvement*.

* According to data collected by Exascend

Longer endurance and usage – Exascend 16TB SSD demonstrate a 10X improvement in Terabytes Written (TBW) compared to a typical NAS HDD. Its 30,000TB (30PB) TBW rating over a 5-year lifespan significantly exceeds the 3,000TB (3PB) TBW of a standard NAS HDD.

Exascend Proprietary Technologies Transforming DVR Storage

Adaptive Thermal Control™ (ATC)

Exascend’s Adaptive Thermal Control™ (ATC) technology ensures sustained performance even under thermal stress by intelligently tuning performance and power to manage thermal. This delivers exceptional operational stability in the thermally challenging environments typical of DVR systems.

SuperCruise™

In DVR applications, consistent, reliable recording performance is paramount – any dropped frames are unacceptable. Exascend’s SuperCruise™ technology is engineered to addresses this critical requirement. SuperCruise™ is our proprietary algorithm optimized for the continuous write workloads of DVR, ensuring sustained high performance and stability, eliminating performance degradation that can plague extended, 24/7 recording.

Adaptive Power Management

Exascend SSDs provides customization in power management settings, letting integrators to dynamically configure power consumption relative to thermal, power constraints and performance requirements. This flexibility is particularly advantageous for applications requiring optimal performance per watt.

Dual Power Loss Protection (PLP): Exascend SSDs incorporate Dual Power Loss Protection (PLP), a critical feature that safeguards in-flight data during unexpected power outages. This ensures that DVR recordings are not lost or corrupted, maintaining data integrity.

Ironclad Security Features

Robust Encryption & Data Protection

At Exascend, we understand DVR systems not only require robust data capacity and performance but also exceptional security measures to protect sensitive information. That’s why our products are fortified with advanced security technologies, including:
