*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
SDM5A-M implements a hardware ECC scheme, based on the BCH algorithm. It can detect and correct
up to 40-bit error in 1K bytes.
4.2 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.
4.3 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. 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.
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 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.

4.6 TRIM
TRIM, though in capital letters usually, is a memory computation command rather than an abbreviation. It
is mainly a SATA command that enables the operating system to inform the SSD (Solid State Drive)
which blocks of previously stored data are no longer valid, due to erases by the host or operating system,
such as file deletions or disk formatting. Once notified, SSD will begin the discard of the invalid LBAs and
retain more space for itself, in fact, the discarded is no longer recoverable.
When an LBA is replaced by the operating system, as with overwrite of a file, the SSD is informed that the
originally occupied LBA is determined as no longer in use or invalid. The SSD will not save those blocks
in garbage collected sectors. Noticeably, a file deletion command by host or operating system never
actually erases the actual contents, rather, just the file is marked as deleted. This issue is even
specifically noticeable for flash based memory devices, such as SSDs. In fact, an SSD will keep garbage
collecting the invalid, previously occupied LBAs, if it is not informed that these LBAs can be erased. Thus,
the SSD would experience a significant performance downfall.
4.7 SATA Power Management
By complying with SATA 6.0 Gb/s specifications, the SSD supports the following SATA power saving
modes:
z
ACTIVE: PHY ready, full power, Tx & Rx operational
z
PARTIAL: Reduces power, resumes in under 10 μs (microseconds)
z
SLUMBER: Reduces power, resumes in under 10 ms (milliseconds)
z
HIPM: Host-Initiated Power Management
z
DIPM: Device-Initiated Power Management
z
AUTO-SLUMBER: Automatic transition from partial to slumber.
Note: the behaviors of power management features would depend on host/device settings.

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