For data efficiency, the internal controlling unit of the SSD is engineered with DRAM for enhanced random performance. In regard of reliability, the drive comes with various implementations including powerful hardware ECC engine, power saving modes, wear leveling, flash block management, S.M.A.R.T., TRIM, and power failure management. 1.2 Capacity Specifications Table 1-1 Capacity Specifications Capacity Total Bytes* Cylinders Heads Sectors Max LBA* 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. 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 16 GB 32 GB 64 GB 128 GB 256 GB Sustained Read (MB/s) 300 525 545 530 505 Sustained Write (MB/s) 145 290 450 445 390 Random Read IOPS (4K) 40,000 72,000 79,000 73,000 73,000 Random Write IOPS (4K) 25,000 67,000 80,000 80,000 66,000 Performance Note: Performance varies from flash configurations or host system settings.

S.M.A.R.T. is an abbreviation for Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, a self-monitoring system that provides indicators of drive health as well as potential disk problems. It serves as a warning for users from unscheduled downtime by monitoring and displaying critical drive information. Ideally, this should allow taking proactive actions to prevent drive failure and make use of S.M.A.R.T. information for future product development reference. Apacer devices use the standard SMART command B0h to read data out from the drive to activate our S.M.A.R.T. feature that complies with the ATA/ATAPI specifications. S.M.A.R.T. Attribute IDs shall include initial bad block count, total later bad block count, maximum erase count, average erase count, power on hours and power cycle. When the S.M.A.R.T. Utility running on the host, it analyzes and reports the disk status to the host before the device reaches in critical condition. Note: Attribute IDs may vary from product models due to various solution design and supporting capabilities. 6 © 2017 Apacer Technology Inc. Rev. 1.1 Serial ATA Flash Drive APS25AFXxxxG-XXTMXT Apacer memory products come with S.M.A.R.T. commands and subcommands for users to obtain information of drive status and to predict potential drive failures. Users can take advantage of the following commands/subcommands to monitor the health of the drive.

Rev. 1.1 Serial ATA Flash Drive APS25AFXxxxG-XXTMXT 3. Flash Management 3.1 Error Correction/Detection SU210-25 implements a hardware ECC scheme, based on the BCH algorithm. It can detect and correct up to 72 bits error in 1K bytes. 3.2 Bad 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. 3.3 Global Wear Leveling 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. Global wear leveling is an important mechanism that levels out the wearing of all blocks so that the wearing-down of all blocks can be almost evenly distributed. This will increase the lifespan of SSDs. 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 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. Note: The controller unit of this product model is designed with a DRAM as a write cache for improved performance and data efficiency. Though unlikely to happen in most cases, the data cached in the volatile DRAM might be potentially affected if a sudden power loss takes place before the cached data is flushed into non-volatile NAND flash memory. 3.5 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. 8 © 2017 Apacer Technology Inc. Rev. 1.1 Serial ATA Flash Drive APS25AFXxxxG-XXTMXT 3.6 TRIM TRIM is a SATA command that helps improve the read/write performance and efficiency of solid-state drives (SSD). The command enables the host operating system to inform SSD controller which blocks contain invalid data, mostly because of the erase commands from host. The invalid will be discarded permanently and the SSD will retain more space for itself. 3.7 SATA Power Management By complying with SATA 6.0 Gb/s specifications, the SSD supports the following SATA power saving modes:  ACTIVE: PHY ready, full power, Tx & Rx operational  PARTIAL: Reduces power, resumes in under 10 µs (microseconds)  SLUMBER: Reduces power, resumes in under 10 ms (milliseconds)  HIPM: Host-Initiated Power Management  DIPM: Device-Initiated Power Management  AUTO-SLUMBER: Automatic transition from partial to slumber.  Device Sleep (DevSleep or DEVSLP): PHY powered down; power consumption ≦ 5 mW; host assertion time ≦ 10 ms; exit timeout from this state ≦ 20 ms (unless specified otherwise in SATA Identify Device Log). Note: The behaviors of power management features would depend on host/device settings. 3.8 Thermal Sensor Apacer Thermal Sensor is a digital temperature sensor with serial interface. By using designated pins for transmission, storage device owners are able to read temperature data. 9 © 2017 Apacer Technology Inc. Rev. 1.1 Serial ATA Flash Drive APS25AFXxxxG-XXTMXT 4.
