ATA Disk Module
AP-FMxxxxD30XXS-XTX
1. General Description
Apacer’s ATA Disk Module 5S (ADM5S) SSD delivers smooth performance and low power consumption.
This device supports DMA mode up to UDMA 6 that offers advanced data transfer technology and internal
memory efficiency, which effectively decreases the loading for the microprocessor. Compliant with
ATA/ATAPI-8 standards, our ADM5S supports data transfer modes up to PIO 4, Multiword DMA 2, and
Ultra DMA 6. Equipped with power Error Correction Coding (ECC) up to 72bit/1KB, the ADM5S can
provide high data integrity. Aside from data efficiency, the ADM5S also comes with power management.
The device can work at 3.3V or 5V power supply, with the output voltage automatically adjusted by the
voltage regulator in the core. In addition, the built-in ECC engine can support multi-mode correction
capability up to 72 bits and perform effective decoding throughput with high reliability.
ADM is a cost-effective solution with standard ATA compliance deployable at all major operating systems
such as Microsoft’s Windows series, Apple’s Mac OS family, and Unix variants. Featuring technologies as
wear leveling, S.M.A.R.T, power failure management, and ATA Secure Erase, Apacer’s ADM is definitely
the ideal and reliable system storage.
2. Functional Block
The ATA-Disk Module (ADM) includes the ATA controller and flash media, as well as the ATA standard
interface. Figure 2-1 shows the functional block diagram.

*Cylinders, heads or sectors are not applicable for these capacities. Only LBA addressing applies
**Notes: 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes; 1 sector = 512 bytes.
LBA count addressed in the table above indicates total user storage capacity and will remain the same throughout the lifespan of the
device. However, the total usable capacity of the SSD is most likely to be less than the total physical capacity because a small portion
of the capacity is reserved for device maintenance usages.

5. Flash Management
5.1 Advanced wear-leveling algorithms
Flash memory devices differ from Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) in terms of how blocks are utilized. For HDDs,
when a change is made to stored data, like erase or update, the controller mechanism on HDDs will
perform overwrites on blocks. Unlike HDDs, flash blocks cannot be overwritten and each P/E cycle wears
down the lifespan of blocks gradually. Repeatedly program/erase cycles performed on the same memory
cells will eventually cause some blocks to age faster than others. This would bring flash storages to their
end of service term sooner. Wear leveling is an important mechanism that level out the wearing of blocks
so that the wearing-down of blocks can be almost evenly distributed. This will increase the lifespan of
SSDs. Commonly used wear leveling types are Static and Dynamic.
5.2 Built-in Hardware ECC
The properties of NAND flash memory make it ideal for applications that require high integrity while
operating in challenging environments. The integrity of data to NAND flash memory is generally
maintained through ECC algorithms. This ATA-Flash Drive is programmed with a hardware ECC engine
which correct up to 72 bits per 1KB.
5.3 Flash Block Management
Current production technology is unable to guarantee total reliability of NAND flash memory array. When a
flash memory device leaves factory, it comes with a minimal number of initial bad blocks during production
or out-of-factory as there is no currently known technology that produce flash chips free of bad blocks. In
addition, bad blocks may develop during program/erase cycles. When host performs program/erase
command on a block, bad block may appear in Status Register. Since bad blocks are inevitable, the
solution is to keep them in control. Apacer flash devices are programmed with ECC, block mapping
technique and S.M.A.R.T to reduce invalidity or error. Once bad blocks are detected, data in those blocks
will be transferred to free blocks and error will be corrected by designated algorithms.
5.4 Power Failure Management
Power Failure Management plays a crucial role when experiencing unstable power supply. Power
disruption may occur when users are storing data into the SSD. In this urgent situation, the controller
would run multiple write-to-flash cycles to store the metadata for later block rebuilding. This urgent
operation requires about several milliseconds to get it done. At the next power up, the firmware will
perform a status tracking to retrieve the mapping table and resume previously programmed NAND blocks
to check if there is any incompleteness of transmission.
5.5 Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)
Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) is predicted based on reliability data for the individual components in
the drive. The prediction result for the drive is more than 1,000,000 hours.
Notes about the MTBF:
The MTBF is predicated and calculated based on “Telcordia Technologies Special Report, SR-332, Issue
2” method.

6.1 Command Set
This section defines the software requirements and the format of the commands the host sends to the
ATA-Disk Module (ADM). Commands are issued to the ADM by loading the required registers in the
command block with the supplied parameters, and then writing the command code to the Command
register. The manner in which a command is accepted varies.

6.2 S.M.A.R.T.
S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym for Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, an open standard
allowing disk drives to automatically monitor their own health and report potential problems. It protects the
user from unscheduled downtime by monitoring and storing critical drive performance and attributes
parameters. Ideally, this should allow taking proactive actions to prevent impending drive failure.
6.3. ATA Secure Erase
ATA Secure Erase is an ATA disk purging command currently embedded in most of the storage drives.
Defined in ATA specifications, (ATA) Secure Erase is part of Security Feature Set that allows storage
drives to erase all user data areas. The erase process usually runs on the firmware level as most of the
ATA-based storage media currently in the market are built-in with this command. ATA Secure Erase can
securely wipe out the user data in the drive and protects it from malicious attack.
