1.3. Power Loss Protection (Optional)
FLEXXON designs SSD device with a hardware power loss protection mechanism. It has a voltage
drop detector, so when the SSD device detects the host power dropping, the SSD’s power loss
protection circuit will be triggered and begin providing power to the SSD. The SSD then will start to
flush cached data from DRAM memory to NAND flash memory in order to preserve data integrity
and prevent data loss.

The SSD is powered by the host power, and

starts to provide power to the SSD while it
flushes cached data from DRAM to NAND.

2.4. MTBF
MTBF, an acronym for Mean Time Between Failures, is a measure of a device’s reliability. Its value
represents the average time between a repair and the next failure. The predicted result of FLEXXON’s
HIX PCIe U.2 SSD is more than 2 million hours.
