The main purpose of the gaming industry is to keep people entertained. To achieve this goal, however, much has to be done. To keep the games going for 24H non-stop, stability and reliability are fundamental. When it comes to casino gaming, large amounts of funds may be involved. Data security is equally vital to keep the games fair and away from being tampered with, and also to ensure customers’ personal information is well protected.
Continual operation to keep games going
In sleepless casinos, gaming systems operate all day long. System stability and reliability are crucial to ensure uninterrupted operation. This is where Transcend’s Intelligent Power Shield (IPS) comes into play. IPS prolongs write time for data in the event of sudden power cut, enhancing data transfer reliability. Temperature control of gaming machines that are on all the time is also crucial. Wide Temperature technology allows devices to operate reliably in extreme temperatures. The Thermal Sensor also allows the device to monitor temperature changes and protect itself from damage caused by overheating. In addition, useful features such as Error Correcting Code and advanced global Wear Leveling ensure reliable data transfer; SSD Scope Pro software includes S.M.A.R.T. functionality that helps users monitor SSD health status; block management, meanwhile, ensures long-term reliability.
Data secured and protected
In casino gaming, data needs to be secured, as both large sums of money and clients’ personal data are involved. To attain this end, Transcend’s memory cards include a Write protect switch to prevent data from being stolen or tampered with. ATA Security Commands offer password protection, adding yet another level of security to memory cards and SSDs. In addition, SSDs compliant with TCG Opal 2.0 Specifications allow for password protection and hierarchical storage management, meaning only authorized users may access data on a device to which they have added password protection; this minimizes the chance of data being stolen, altered, or lost.
