Transit bus mobile video surveillance specialist 850 Apollo Video Technology has announced it will now provide removable solid-state drives for its RoadRunner digital video recorders. Existing customers have the option to upgrade previously installed standard hard-disk drives to the new solid-state drives which are currently available in 120GB, 240GB and 480GB sizes.

Solid-state drives (SSDs) allow for optimal reliability and protection against shock. With no moving parts, the drives are enclosed in protected housing with shock dampeners. This added safeguard lessens the force of impact and vibration commonly found in mobile environments. Apollo claims the SSDs will double the life-span of the drive – as compared to traditional rotating-disk hard drives. “In harsh mobile environments where proper technology operation is critical, agencies now have additional protection against data loss in a severe crash or impact to the recording media,” said Rodell Notbohm, general manager of Apollo Video Technology.
