Product Description 1.1 Introduction Apacer SFD18SH-M half-slim MO-297 SSD (Solid State Drive) delivers multiple technological advantages of flash memory storage. With SATA 6.0 Gbps interface, SFD18SH-M offers exceptional data transfer performance. Form factor wise, this model is fully compliant with JEDEC MO-297 standard, which is designed with standard interface consisting of SATA 7-pin signal segment and 15-pin power segment, while in compact size. This module provides low power consumption compared to traditional hard drive and hotswapping when removing/ replacing/ upgrading flash disks. Its capacity could provide a wide range up to 256 GB. Moreover, it can reach up to 510 MB/s read as well as 190 MB/s write high performance. 1.2 Capacity Specifications Table 1-1 Capacity Specifications Capacity Total Bytes* Cylinders Heads Sectors Max LBA** 8 GB 8,012,390,400 15,525 16 63 15,649,200 16 GB 16,013,942,784 16,383 16 63 31,277,232 32 GB 32,017,047,552 16,383 16 63 62,533,296 64 GB 64,023,257,088 16,383 16 63 125,045,424 128 GB 128,035,676,160 16,383 16 63 250,069,680 256 GB 256,060,514,304 16,383 16 63 500,118,192 *Display of total bytes varies from file systems. **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. 1.3 Performance Table 1-2 Performance Specifications Capacity 8 GB 16 GB 32 GB 64 GB 128 GB 256 GB Sustained Read (MB/s) 155 480 480 480 480 510 Sustained Write (MB/s) 85 150 150 180 180 190 Performance Note: 1.

SMART, an acronym for Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, is an open standard that allows a hard disk drive to automatically detect its health and report potential failures. When a failure is recorded by SMART, users can choose to replace the drive to prevent unexpected outage or data loss. Moreover, SMART can inform users of impending failures while there is still time to perform proactive actions, such as copy data to another device. 7 © 2015 Apacer Technology Inc. Rev. 2.0 Serial ATA Flash Drive APS18SH1xxxG-XTMX 3. Flash Management 3.1 Error Correction/Detection Flash memory cells will deteriorate with use, which might generate random bit errors in the stored data. Thus, this SSD applies the BCH ECC Algorithm, which can detect and correct errors occur during Read process, ensure data been read correctly, as well as protect data from corruption. This ECC supports up to 72bit/1K data. 3.2 Bad Block Management Bad blocks are blocks that include one or more invalid bits, and their reliability is not guaranteed. Blocks that are identified and marked as bad by the manufacturer are referred to as “Initial Bad Blocks”. Bad blocks that are developed during the lifespan of the flash are named “Later Bad Blocks”. Apacer implements an efficient bad block management algorithm to detect the factory-produced bad blocks and manages any bad blocks that appear with use. This practice further prevents data being stored into bad blocks and improves the data reliability. 3.3 Wear Leveling NAND Flash devices can only undergo a limited number of program/erase cycles, and in most cases, the flash media are not used evenly. If some areas get updated more frequently than others, the lifetime of the device would be reduced significantly. Thus, Wear Leveling technique is applied to extend the lifespan of NAND Flash by evenly distributing write and erase cycles across the media. Apacer provides advanced Wear Leveling algorithm, which can efficiently spread out the flash usage through the whole flash media area. Moreover, by implementing both dynamic and static Wear Leveling algorithms, the life expectancy of the NAND Flash is greatly improved. 3.4 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 flush 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. 3.5 TRIM TRIM is a feature which helps improve the read/write performance and speed of solid-state drives (SSD). Unlike hard disk drives (HDD), SSDs are not able to overwrite existing data, so the available space gradually becomes smaller with each use. With the TRIM command, the operating system can inform the SSD which blocks of data are no longer in use and can be removed permanently. Thus, the SSD will perform the erase action, which prevents unused data from occupying blocks all the time. 8 © 2015 Apacer Technology Inc. Rev. 2.0 Serial ATA Flash Drive APS18SH1xxxG-XTMX 3.6 Secure Erase Secure Erase is a standard ATA command and will write all “0xFF” to fully wipe all the data on hard drives and SSDs. When this command is issued, the SSD controller will empty its storage blocks and return to its factory default settings. Note: Secure erase command belongs to ATA security command. 9 © 2015 Apacer Technology Inc. Rev. 2.0 Serial ATA Flash Drive APS18SH1xxxG-XTMX 4.
