Challenges
In truck dashcam systems, data integrity and long-term stability are essential. These setups often involve multiple cameras—for example, front, rear, and side views—capturing continuous video footage. This creates heavy demands on the SSD, which must handle simultaneous high-throughput writes. While traditional SSDs may offer fast speeds initially, their SLC cache can fill up quickly during extended recording, leading to sudden drops in write performance. When this happens, frame loss can occur, compromising video quality and system reliability.
Silicon Power’s FrameSolid technology is engineered specifically to address these challenges. It delivers consistent, stable write performance over long periods of continuous operation, effectively eliminating the performance bottlenecks associated with traditional SLC cache limitations. This makes it an ideal solution for multi-camera recording applications.
Customer Requirements
The customer needed an SSD solution that could reliably support multiple camera feeds and maintain steady operation in demanding, long-term environments. Their key requirements were:
Stable Multi-Camera Recording
The dashcam system had to handle concurrent recording from several cameras. This required a high-performance SSD that wouldn’t falter under simultaneous data streams. Conventional drives often struggle in such scenarios, leading to data inconsistency or dropped frames.
Consistent Write Performance
The system needed to write data from all cameras in real time. Any drop in write speed could disrupt the video stream or cause frame loss. The customer needed an SSD that could sustain high-speed writes throughout extended use.
Long-Term Reliability
Since dashcams operate continuously—often in harsh environments with high temperatures and vibration—the storage solution needed to maintain performance over time, without being affected by SLC cache exhaustion.
Solution
To meet these demands, Silicon Power implemented FrameSolid Technology—a purpose-built solution for long-term, high-stability storage in multi-camera systems.
Reliable Multi-Camera Write Performance
FrameSolid ensures high-speed, uninterrupted writing across multiple video streams. Whether capturing footage from front, rear, or side cameras, the system records seamlessly without data loss.
Sustained Performance Under Load
With direct-to-flash write architecture and optimized garbage collection, FrameSolid maintains consistent performance even under heavy workloads and multi-stream conditions—far beyond the limits of standard SSDs.
Long-Term Operational Stability
Unlike conventional SSDs that suffer slowdowns when their SLC cache is depleted, FrameSolid sustains its performance over long durations. It's particularly well-suited for long-haul transportation or urban driving scenarios, where continuous operation is critical.
The graph below highlights how FrameSolid outperforms standard SSDs in both endurance and stability during extended operation.
Application Areas
While FrameSolid was developed with multi-camera dashcam systems in mind, its advantages extend to any application requiring frequent, reliable data writes. Ideal use cases include:
- Smart city surveillance
- Fleet management systems
- Industrial automation platforms
As smart transportation, IoT, and industrial applications grow increasingly sophisticated, the need for dependable storage continues to rise. In environments with high-frequency, multi-source data input, FrameSolid delivers the durability and write consistency required to keep operations running smoothly. Looking forward, Silicon Power remains committed to providing robust, efficient storage solutions that meet the evolving demands of next-gen edge computing and embedded systems.
