Datalight Unveils Support for Microsoft Windows 7

Datalight is announcing a new version of their RWD (Reliance Windows Driver) with support for Windows 7. The idea is that OEMs requiring exchangeability can now upgrade the file system to Reliance Nitro and still enable users to interface with a Windows 7 desktop, thereby improving the performance and reliability of their device without sacrificing exchangeability.

Bothell, WA, October 28, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Datalight announced today support for Microsoft Windows 7 with their desktop driver for its proprietary file system Reliance Nitro™. Reliance Windows Driver (RWD) allows data from devices using Datalight’s acclaimed file systems to be exchangeable with computers running Windows 7, XP or Vista. This allows, for example, users of CF cards formatted with Reliance Nitro to work in the CF card slot located in many printers and PCs. Current support is for 32-bit versions of Windows 7 with support for 64-bit versions slated for 2011.

“RWD fulfills our goal of providing exchangeability, reliability and performance to our customers,” said Ken Whitaker, Datalight Director of Engineering. “With this desktop driver, device designers no longer have to compromise reliability to have exchangeability.”

Device manufactures, who choose Datalight file systems for superior performance and reliability vis-à-vis the file system found on desktop computers, can now provide their customers the ability to easily share data from their device to their desktop.

RWD is available immediately from Datalight and its reseller partners world-wide. Please visit them at http://www.datalight.com/partners/worldwide-sales-partners to find a reseller near you.

The Reliance family of file systems and FlashFX family of flash media managers comprise the Datalight flash file system solution.

Embedded applications can benefit from faster boot times that remain consistent for the life of the product, regardless of disk size. FlashFX™ Tera features pre-written support for over 300 flash parts, works with virtually any NAND controller, and features wear leveling, bad block management, and background compaction for unrivaled performance.
