We are using 4GB IDE memtech flashdrives in one of our embedded devices. We have had about 10% defective among those used under normal conditions by our customer. During the qualification, particularly for the vibrations we have had 50% defective hard drives. The drives are ruggedized, -40 +85 deg celsius.
Have you experienced similar problems?
We have asked memtech for an expertise but so far, without any reply from them.
The problems are undetected drives, or corrupted boot sector or corrupted clusters.
