Weighing the pros and cons between SLC and MLC flash means there are trade-offs. To provide the customer with a one-stop solution that combines the advantages of both types of flash SSD, Apacer has developed proprietary SLC-lite technology that utilizes the infrastructure of MLC flash to simulate the performance and durability of industrial grade flash SLC. This exclusive design strikes a cost-performance balance between MLC and SLC flash types and can be implemented on Apacer’s all NAND flash products, making SLC-lite an ideal alternative solution for mission-critical embedded or industrial applications.
