SATA 6Gb/s
Industrial 2.5” SSD
Manual
The SATA SSD is a non-volatile, solid-state storage device. With its Serial ATA
interface and industry-standard form factors, it is a drop in replacement for hard
disk drives. The SSD delivers extremely high levels of performance, reliability and
ruggedness for I/O intensive or environmentally challenging applications.

Industrial SSD – An Industrial SSD does not include power failure detection or
management features. MLC NAND, as opposed to SLC NAND, can become
corrupted if power is removed during a write, also known as lower page
corruption. Therefore, a Industrial SSD using MLC NAND is well-suited in a
system that already manages power fail events, allowing for graceful SSD
shutdown. Accordingly, system support should include issuing a Standby
Immediate command to the SSD while maintaining power for at least 50ms.
If a Industrial drive with MLC NAND is used in a system that does not manage
power failures and shutdowns, there is a small chance of data corruption. Viking
Industrial SSD’s take sophisticated hardware and firmware measures to prevent
or mitigate such issues making the chance of corruption very small.
If the SSD controller detects data corruption, the drive will be locked. The only
way to recover the drive is to return it to the factory for reprogramming; all data
will be lost.

Figure 1-1: High-Level Block Diagram
Notes: Support for up to 8-channels and 32 CE in the NAND Flash interface
1.3 SATA Interface
The Serial ATA (SATA) interface is compliant with the SATA IO Serial
ATA specification, revision 3.2 that supports SATA up to 6GB/s.
The SATA interface connects the host computer to the SSD subsystem.
The SATA interface runs at a maximum speed of 6.0 Gbps (Giga-bits per
second). If the host computer is unable to negotiate a speed of 6.0 Gbps,
the SATA interface automatically renegotiates to a speed of 3GBPs or
1.5Gbps.
For a list of supported commands and other specifics, please see Chapter 5.

2.7 Data Security
2.7.1 Encryption
The SSD drive is a self-encrypting drive (SED), with a bulk data encryption
feature that provides automatic hardware-based data security and enhanced
secure erase capability.
A self-encrypting drives, scrambles data using a data encryption key as it is
written to the drive and then descrambles it with the key as it is retrieved. This
gives the user the highest level of data protection available and provides a fast
erase simply by deleting the encryption key, eliminating the need for time
consuming data-overwrite. Data on the drive is instantly rendered unreadable.
The SSD supports AES-256 encryption and ATA Secure Erase features to
protect sensitive data.
The SSD drives support the following security features:
AES 256 on the fly support.
RSA 512/1024/2048
SHA 160/256/512
TCG OPAL SSC V1.0
2.7.2 Write Protect
When a SSD contains too many bad blocks and data are continuously written in,
then the SSD might not be usable anymore. Thus, Write Protect is a mechanism
to prevent data from being written in and protect the accuracy of data that are
already stored in the SSD.

2.7.4 Military Secure Erase / Sanitization/ Purge Routines
Many government and military organizations such as NIST/NSA define their own
standard and procedures for performing a Military Secure Erase which overwrite
different patterns to sanitize the flash media. Some of the more common military
or government purge routines are defined in the following table and the data
security features of the drive comply with Department of Defense (DoD) and US
military data security standards.

Hot Plug insertion and removal are supported in the presence of a proper
connector and appropriate operating system (OS) support as described in the
SATA Revision 3.2 specification. This product supports Asynchronous Signal
Recovery and will issue an unsolicited COMINIT when first mated with a powered
connector to guarantee reliable detection by a host system without hardware
device detection.

5.1.1 S.M.A.R.T. Support
Data storage drives capture a variety of information during operation that may be
used to analyze drive ―health. SATA drives provide Self-Monitoring, Analysis
and Reporting Technology (SMART) features that include monitoring and storing
critical performance and calibration parameters to attempt to predict the
likelihood of near-term degradation or fault conditions. Drive manufacturers have
adopted S.M.A.R.T. to help warn system software, a system administrator, or a
user of impending drive failure, while time remains to take preventive action.
It provides the host system with the knowledge of a negative reliability condition
to allow the host system to warn the user of the impending risk of data loss and
advise the user of the appropriate action.
The technical documentation for S.M.A.R.T. is captured in the AT Attachment
(ATA) standard. The standard defines the protocols for reporting errors and for
invoking self-tests to collect and analyze data on demand. The ATA specification
is flexible and provides for individual manufacturers to define their own unique
vendor specific information. This section describes the baseline supported
S.M.A.R.T. command attributes. The information herein should be used in
conjunction with the ATA standard and related documents, which may serve as
references for topics and details not addressed here. Further, it is recommended
to consult the list of public S.M.A.R.T. attributes.
The supported S.M.A.R.T. command set is listed in the table below. See the AT
Attachment standard for implementation details.
5.1.2 S.M.A.R.T. Command Set

5.1.2.2 Off-line Mode
SSD’s support the optional 28-bit S.M.A.R.T. EXECUTION OFF-LINE
IMMEDIATE (B0h/D4h) command per the ATA-8 specification. This command
causes the SSD to initiate the collection of S.M.A.R.T. data in an off-line mode
and then preserves this data across power and reset events. Supported
subcommands include those shown in the table below. Reference the ATA-8
specification for subcommand detail.

5.2 SATA Commands
The SATA Revision 3 specification is a super set of the ATA/ATAPI-7
specification with regard to supported commands. SSD’s support the following
features that are unique to the SATA specification.
5.2.1 Native Command Queuing (NCQ)
SSD’s support the Native Command Queuing (NCQ) command set, which
consists of
READ FPDMA QUEUED
WRITE FPDMA QUEUED
Notes: With a maximum queue depth less than or equal to 32.

Operating System
psuedoSLC (pSLC) is a firmware feature that uses twice (double) the raw MLC NAND
and creates endurance similar to SLC. e.g.: 512GB raw NAND shows to the user as
256GB and the P/E goes form 3K on standard MLC to ~30K in pSLC mode.
The point at which a SATA drive physically connects to the SATA controller.
