Novachips Unveils Custom COTS M.2 SSD for Satellite Applications

SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 22, 2025 — Novachips Co., Ltd., a leader in flash storage innovation, today unveiled its NN765R, a custom-designed COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) M.2 SSD tailored for the rigorous demands of satellite and embedded system uses.

The NN765R incorporates specialized coating materials to shield its internal components from low-energy protons, complemented by advanced ECC (Error Correction Code) and firmware recovery capabilities to rectify bit errors resulting from exposure to high-energy protons.

Drawing on its experience with avionic systems, the NN765R offers outstanding reliability in harsh temperatures, all while drawing under 3 watts of power—even when operating at peak performance with read/write speeds reaching 3GB/s. For structural integrity, the SSD complies with MIL-STD-810G shock and vibration criteria and boasts a strengthened enclosure secured by dual side screws.

“Protons captured by Earth’s magnetic fields represent a primary source of errors and malfunctions in electronics deployed in satellite environments,” stated Sejong Yoo, General Manager at Novachips. “Our bespoke COTS M.2 SSD has proven its capacity to endure proton flux exceeding 1,000 times that found in typical satellite conditions. Consequently, it stands as an efficient, high-bandwidth local storage option where conventional space-grade memory solutions fall short.”

The NN765R series comes in a standard dual-side M.2 80mm form factor, available in capacities of 330GB, 660GB, 1TB, and 2TB. The radiation-shielding materials and custom firmware can additionally be tailored to alternative form factors to suit particular project needs.

Integrating radiation resistance, power efficiency, and high performance, the NN765R presents an economical and dependable storage solution for upcoming satellite and aerospace applications.
