Case Study: Leading Blood Analyzer Equipment Manufacturer achieves five-year SSD longevity and streamlined secure erase with Advantech's SQF-830V SSD

Industrial-Grade SSD Saves Time and Resources for Blood Analyzer Equipment Manufacturer

Leading Blood Analyzer Equipment Manufacturer needed a new SSD supplier after its previous vendor offered only 12–18 months of product longevity, forcing repeated and resource-intensive requalification cycles that strained assembly, stock management, and field services. The customer selected Advantech and evaluated the SQF-830V 2.5" SATA SSD to meet requirements for five-year product longevity, strict revision control, SMART reporting compatibility, reliable power-fail protection, and a secure data-erase capability.

Advantech delivered the SQF-830V with five-year longevity, built-in power-fail protections (guarantee flush, low-voltage detection, soft start), a Secure Erase function triggerable by software or GPIO, and firmware modifications to ensure SMART information compatibility with the analyzer software. Advantech’s solution eliminated the frequent 12–18 month requalification cycle, made secure data removal much easier and faster, and was adopted across the manufacturer’s global production (including contract manufacturers); drop-shipping from Advantech’s Taiwan factory further reduced freight time and cost.
