NVMe = Non-Volatile Memory Express Product Description The GLS88DQ064G3 / 128G3 / 256G3 / 512G3 Industrial Temperature NVMe M.2 ArmourDrive™ PX Series (referred to as “M.2 ArmourDrive” in this factsheet) are high-performance, high-reliability solid state drives. They combine 64, 128, 256 or 512 GBytes of NAND flash memory with an advanced NVMe PCIe controller on a printed circuit board (PCB). NVMe is a highly scalable protocol optimized for efficient data transport over PCIe for storage on NAND flash. The NVMe PCIe SSD controller with built-in advanced NAND management firmware communicates with the host through the standard PCIe interface. It does not require any additional or proprietary software such as the Flash File System (FFS) and Memory Technology Driver (MTD). The firmware effectively optimizes the use of NAND flash memory’s program/erase (P/E) cycles and minimizes write amplification. M.2 ArmourDrive’s advanced NAND management technology improves endurance, enhances data security and helps prevent data corruption during unexpected power failure events. This innovative technology combines robust NAND controller hardware error correction capabilities with advanced wear-leveling algorithms and bad block management to improve data reliability and significantly extend the life of the product. M.2 ArmourDrive is ideal for applications that require removable form factor and more reliable data storage. NVMe M.2 solid state storage technology is used in industrial and cloud computing, datacenters, highperformance enterprise storage and networking systems, endpoint and thin clients, gaming machines and broadcasting equipment. These removable solid state drives (SSDs) provide low latency and fast sequential and random read/write speeds.

Refer to Figure 2-1 for the M.2 ArmourDrive block diagram. 1.1 1.1.5 Power Interrupt Data Protection Optimized M.2 ArmourDrive The MCU translates PCIe / NVMe commands into data and control signals required for flash media operation. Power Interrupt Data Protection is a mechanism to prevent data corruption during unexpected power failure events. Enhanced data integrity is supported by the controller’s advanced firmware during abnormal power loss. The controller proactively optimizes the amount and stay time of the “in-flight” data residing in the cache. To ensure there is no data loss risk caused by power cycling, the controller sends an acknowledgement to the host only when the incoming data is fully committed to the NAND flash. 1.1.2 Internal Direct Memory Access (DMA) 1.1.6 Error Correction Code (ECC) M.2 ArmourDrive uses internal DMA allowing instant data transfer from/to buffer to/from flash media. This implementation eliminates microcontroller overhead associated with the traditional, firmware-based approach, thereby increasing the data transfer rate. The ECC technology uses advanced algorithms to detect and correct errors, ensuring data integrity and extending the SSD lifespan. The heart of M.2 ArmourDrive is the NVMe PCIe SSD controller, which translates standard PCIe signals into flash media data and control signals. The following components contribute to M.2 ArmourDrive’s operation. 1.1.1 Microcontroller Unit (MCU) 1.1.7 Multi-tasking Interface The multi-tasking interface enables concurrent Read, Program and Erase operations to multiple NAND flash media. 1.1.3 Power Management Unit (PMU) The PMU controls the power consumption of M.2 ArmourDrive. The PMU dramatically reduces the power consumption of M.2 ArmourDrive by putting the part of the circuitry that is not in operation into sleep mode. 1.2 M.2 ArmourDrive’s controller uses advanced wearleveling algorithms to substantially increase the longevity of NAND flash media. Wear caused by data writes is evenly distributed in all or select blocks in the device that prevents “hot spots” in locations that are programmed and erased extensively. This effective wear-leveling technique results in optimized device endurance, enhanced data retention and higher reliability required by long-life applications. The Flash File System handles inadvertent power interrupts and has auto-recovery capability to ensure M.2 ArmourDrive firmware integrity. 1.1.4 Embedded Flash File System The embedded flash file system is an integral part of M.2 ArmourDrive. It contains MCU firmware that performs the following tasks: 1.3 1. Translates host side signals into flash media writes and reads 2. Provides flash media wear leveling to spread the flash writes across all memory address space to increase the longevity of flash media 3. Keeps track of data file structures These specifications are subject to change without notice. © 2019 Greenliant GLS FS0019 Rev. 00 Advanced NAND Management Advanced Data Security Advanced data security measures include end-to-end data path protection and data sanitization (Secure Erase) support. Secure Erase is an effective method to quickly wipe all data from a PCIe-based SSD using the NVMe protocol (Format NVM). 2 12/13/2019 S71471-01 GLS88DQ064G3 / 128G3 / 256G3 / 512G3 Industrial Temp NVMe M.2 ArmourDrive™ PX Series Factsheet 01.000 December 2019 2.0 FUNCTIONAL BLOCKS Figure 2-1: M.2 ArmourDrive Block Diagram These specifications are subject to change without notice. © 2019 Greenliant GLS FS0019 Rev. 00 3 12/13/2019 S71471-01 GLS88DQ064G3 / 128G3 / 256G3 / 512G3 Industrial Temp NVMe M.2 ArmourDrive™ PX Series Factsheet 01.000 December 2019 3.0 APPENDIX 3.1 Product Ordering Information GLS 88 DQ XX XX xxx G3 - I - BZ3xx XXX XX - X - XXXXX Ordering Code BZ3xx = NVMe M.2 AmourDrive Revision Operating Temperature I = Industrial: -40°C to +85°C NAND Configuration 3 = 3 bits per cell GByte Designator G = GByte Capacity 064 = 64 GByte 128 = 128 GByte 256 = 256 GByte 512 = 512 GByte Product Generation Q = Generation Form Factor D = M.2 2242 (DS) Product Family 88 = NVMe M.2 ArmourDrive Valid Combinations Valid product combinations are those that are in the mass production or will be in the mass production.
