The application of Qootec mSATA and 2.5 SATA SSDs in Point of Sale (POS) Machines
Commercial Point of Sale (Cash Drawer) have evolved from the first generation to the second generation (ECR electronic POS machine) and now to the fully-featured third-generation POS machine. The third-generation POS machine come with an open system that can be applied to various platforms and software applications. They can also connect to multiple peripherals, support IC and bank card authorization terminals, operate standalone or networked, and even connect to the Internet. With the rapid development of the POS industry, various high-performance POS cash register systems have been affirmed by merchants. Coupled with fierce competition, the role of information systems in competition has significantly increased, and the demand for hardware performance has also grown noticeably.
Commercial POS machine have several key features in their application: First, they operate for long periods, with many transactions and at high frequencies, which requires the POS machine to have high stability and not frequently fail. Second, they are often used in poor environments, requiring the hardware to have low environmental sensitivity and a wide range of environmental standards. Third, they are in areas with high foot traffic, which can lead to collisions and vibrations. Some shopping malls do not have air conditioning, and the high temperatures in summer, combined with large crowds, can lead to various collisions and vibrations. Therefore, POS machine must have shock resistance and high-temperature tolerance. By using Qootec's SSD solutions, these challenges in the commercial cash register system's storage applications can be easily addressed.
Qootec SSD focus on the application of industrial control and embedded systems, adhering to the product direction of excellent quality and stable reliability. The newly launched mSATA (applicable models QMS6M0XXXC1-MLC, QMP1T0XXXC1-TLC) and 2.5 SATA (applicable models QSS6M0XXXC1-MLC, QSP1T0XXXC1-TLC series storage products) support the SATA III transmission mode, with speeds up to 580MB/sec. They incorporate advanced wear-leveling algorithms and error-correcting rewrite functions, achieving a mean time between failures (MTBF) of over 2,000,000 hours, fully meeting the application requirements of commercial POS systems.
Qootec SSD use NAND FLASH chips as the storage medium, offering reliability that traditional HDD, cannot match, and comply with strict industrial standards. They can maintain the lowest sensitivity even in the harshest working environments such as wide temperatures (-20°C to +75°C) and humidity (85%). They can also operate stably under random vibrations up to 16.3G and working shocks up to 1,500G, ensuring data security.
Qootec SSD are characterized by high performance, low power consumption, large capacity, small size, and noiselessness. They use standard mSATA and 2.5 SATA interfaces to meet the installation design requirements of various commercial cash register internal structures. Capacities range from 32GB to 1TB, with multiple options available to choose from. They support various operating systems such as DOS, Windows9X/Me/NT/XP/XPE/CE/Vista, MAC OS, Linux, and Unix, adapting to the platform needs of different commercial cash register software, making them an excellent storage solution for commercial POS machine (cash systems).
Additionally, Qootec also provides corresponding DRAM Modules for POS systems. You can refer to Commercial Grade-level products to meet your needs.
