Feeding the beast In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) systems have a huge appetite for data storage capacity with mapping and navigation, music and entertainment occupying a growing memory footprint in cars.
Up until recently, the car makerâs choice of high-capacity data storage technology was the familiar Hard Disk Drive (HDD), but reliability and lifetime concerns have seen it fall out of favour to be replaced in modern designs by the solid-state drive (SSD) or embedded Multimedia Card (eMMC).
Certainly the solid-state solution for data storage is inherently better suited to the requirements of car makers, with their strict processes and qualification criteria for components and modules. Unlike an HDD, an SSD or eMMC contains no moving parts so it cannot suffer mechanical failure and is not vulnerable to damage from shock or vibration.
The need for SSD speed: How to find the perfect SSD
Installing an SSD is a sure-fire way of reviving an old and slow computer or adding warp-speed performance to your beloved system. It is a much faster, power-efficient and robust storage device than traditional spinning hard drives. But there are SSDs of various sizes, bus interfaces and technologies out there such as 2.5-inch drives and different sizes of M.2 drives, SATA and PCIe interfaces, TLC and QLC technologies and so on. As a result, it is really easy to buy the wrong one that your computer would not support. We will arm you with the right questions to ask and enable you to apprehend the specifications when buying a shiny new SSD.
