performance USB 2.0 Flash Disk. The GDK-2010 USB Flash disk is designed with enhanced technology USB 2.0
controller which is designed to provide higher bandwidth for flash memory access. The USB controller also provides the
embedded hardware error correction code (ECC), dynamic/static wear-leveling algorithm and bad block management
technology in the chip. The Industrial Rugged Metal GDK-2010 USB Flash Disk specified as 2.0 High Speed Device,
Mass Storage Class; USB-IF (USB Implementers Forum), WHQL (Window Hardware Quality Labs), and EMI
(Electromagnetic Interference).
It can control 8 pieces of flash memory chips; therefore, the SLC Flash Disk can

In addition to being as high speed USB Flash Disk, the controller provides embedded processor, internal marked ROM,
data SRAM, USB 2.0 device controller and USB 2.0 PHY. Data swap between different interfaces can be done very
efficiently by DMA without CPU involvement. Based on that efficient and advanced architecture, the GDK-2010 USB Flash
Disk is featured with high performance. The SLC USB Flash disks’ sequential read / write performance can reach
30MB/30MB per second; the MLC USB Flash disk is up to 30MB/29MB per second. The Industrial Rugged Metal

MLC USB Flash Disk supports standard operating temperature 0° C ~ 70° C only and SLC USB Flash disk supports
optional standard operating temperature 0° C ~ 70° C and industrial grade operating temperature -40° C ~ 85° C.
The Industrial Rugged Metal GDK-2010 high capacity & high performance USB Flash Disk - HERMES Series also offers
unique customization for OEM customers by laser markings.
