SATA 6Gb/s
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.

1.3 SATA Interface
The Serial ATA (SATA) interface is compliant with the SATA IO Serial
ATA specification, revision 3.0 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 Gbps (Giga-bits per
second). If the host computer is unable to negotiate a speed of 6 Gbps,
the SATA interface automatically renegotiates to a speed of 3 Gbps or 1.5
Gbps.
For a list of supported commands and other specifics, please see Chapter 5.

2.3.1 STANDBY IMMEDIATE Command
The Power-On-to-Ready time assumes a proper shutdown (power removal
preceded by STANDBY IMMEDIATE command. A STANDBY IMMEDIATE
before power down always performs a graceful shutdown and does not require
the use of the hold-up circuit. Note that SMART attribute 174 "Unexpected Power
Loss" records the number of non-graceful power cycle events.

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

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.

The SATA 2.6 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
Note: With a maximum queue depth less than or equal to 32.
