1. General Description
Apacer P100-M is the next generation modularized Solid State Drive (SSD) with the shape of all new M.2
form factor, with the aim to be the more suitable for mobile and compact computers with standard width at
only 22.00 mm. P100-M appears in M.2 2242 mechanical dimensions and is believed to be the leading
add-in storage solution for future host computing systems.
The M.2 SSD is designed with SATA-based connector pinouts, providing full compliance with the latest
SATA Revision 3.2 interface specifications. Aside from SATA compliance, P100-M delivers exceptional
performance and power efficiency. On the other hand, the extreme thin and light form factor makes P100M the ideal choice for mobile computing systems, which appears to be the trend in near future.
Regarding reliability, P100-M is built with a powerful SATA controller that supports on-the-module ECC as
well as efficient wear leveling scheme. Since it is operating under SATA 6.0 Gbps interface, P100-M is
provided with Apacer latest S.M.A.R.T. that are primarily oriented for the latest SATA interface SSD, for
drive lifetime monitoring and analyzing.
2. Pin Assignments
This connector does not support hot plug capability. There are a total of 75 pins. 12 pin locations are used
for mechanical key locations; this allows such a module to plug into both Key B and Key M connectors.

*Display of total bytes varies from file systems, which means not all of the bytes can be used for storage.
**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.

4. Flash Management
4.1 Error Correction/Detection
P100-M implements a hardware ECC scheme, based on the BCH algorithm. It can detect and correct up
to 72 bits error in 1K bytes.
4.2 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.
4.3 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 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.
4.4 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.
4.5 ATA Secure Erase
ATA 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.

APM2T42P100xxxxAN-XTMX
4.6 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.
4.7 SATA Power Management
By complying with SATA 6.0 Gb/s specifications, the SSD supports the following SATA power saving
modes:
y
ACTIVE: PHY ready, full power, Tx & Rx operational
y
PARTIAL: Reduces power, resumes in under 10 μs (microseconds)
y
SLUMBER: Reduces power, resumes in under 10 ms (milliseconds)
y
HIPM: Host-Initiated Power Management
y
DIPM: Device-Initiated Power Management
y
AUTO-SLUMBER: Automatic transition from partial to slumber.
y
Device Sleep (DevSleep or DEVSLP): PHY powered down; power consumption ʀ 5 mW; host
assertion time ʀ 10 ms; exit timeout from this state ʀ 20 ms (unless specified otherwise in SATA
Identify Device Log).
Note:
1. The behaviors of power management features would depend on host/device settings.
2. Device Sleep mode is optional, depending on product ordering selections.

4.8 Endurance
The endurance of a storage device is predicted by Tera Bytes Written based on several factors related to
usage, such as the amount of data written into the drive, block management conditions, and daily
workload for the drive. Thus, key factors, such as Write Amplifications and the number of P/E cycles, can
influence the lifespan of the drive.

5.2 S.M.A.R.T.
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.
