Apacer launches lead-free SSD and CoreEnergy technology

New Taipei City - Apacer has launched the first completely lead-free solid-state drive (SSD) at the same time as presenting its new CoreEnergy power regulation technology. These developments show that the company's product portfolio is focusing more strongly on sustainability goals.

(CONNECTApacer, a global leader in digital storage, has announced the launch of the PV250-M280, its first lead-free SSD (solid-state drive). Apacer is also launching its proprietary CoreEnergy power regulation technology, according to the statement.

With its first lead-free SSD, the company says it is responding to the imminent expiration of the EU RoHS exemptions, which restrict the use of environmentally harmful substances (including lead) in electronic devices. With lead-free resistors and the use of low-temperature solder paste combined with underfill technology in the SMT (Surface Mount Technology) process, Apacer's new SSD is reportedly taking the lead in environmentally friendly supply chains. The SSD ensures consistently high performance and reliability, writes Apacer, while also contributing to energy savings, reduced power consumption, and lower material costs.

Apacer's new CoreEnergy technology customizes users' energy application requirements by integrating multiple preset energy modes into a hardware-software co-design. This enables users to reduce their power consumption and prevent SSD overheating. With applications in fanless devices and battery-powered systems, CoreEnergy meets the critical need for energy-efficient storage, according to Apacer. "Our mission is sustainable storage that combines compliance with innovation. Lead-free DRAM and SSD, along with CoreEnergy, ensure high performance with energy efficiency,” C.K. Chang, CEO of Apacer, is quoted as saying. 

Apacer develops solutions for memory modules, industrial SSDs, digital storage products for consumers, and integrated applications for the Internet of Things. ce/ja
