Display of total bytes varies from operating systems. 2. Cylinders, heads or sectors are not applicable for these capacities. Only LBA addressing applies ***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. 4.1 Performance Specification Performances of the CompactFlash cards are listed in Table 4-2.

Rev. 1.2 Compact Flash 5 series AP-CFxxxxL9XS-XXXXXX 6. Flash Management 6.1 Intelligent Endurance Design 6.1.1 Advanced wear-leveling algorithms 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. On the other hand, NAND flash storage adopts flash as their primary media. 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 earlier. 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. 6.1.2 S.M.A.R.T. Technology S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym for Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, an open standard allowing disk drives to automatically monitor their own health and report potential problems. It protects the user from unscheduled downtime by monitoring and storing critical drive performance and calibration parameters. Ideally, this should allow taking proactive actions to prevent impending drive failure. Apacer SMART feature adopts the standard SMART command B0h to read data from the drive. When the Apacer SMART Utility running on the host, it analyzes and reports the disk status to the host before the device is in critical condition. 6.1.3 Built-in Hardware ECC The ECC bit encoding takes places when host/OS writes data to the SSD. This step is simpler and quick. On the other hand, the ECC bit decoding is processed when host/OS reads data from the SSD. In this step, the ECC codes will be in progress for detecting, comparing and detecting potential error. Thus, the power of the ECC lies mostly in the read data side. This ATA CompactFlash card employs BCH Error Correction Code (ECC) algorithms. This on-chip hardware BCH-ECC engines is 13/24 bit programmed that can correct up to 24-bit errors per 1,024 byte data. This built-in hardware ECC performs parity generation and error detection/correction for data integrity. 6.2 Intelligent Power Failure Recovery Power Failure Management ensures data transmission when experiencing unstable power supply. When power disruption takes places, NAND Flash will have to cache multiple write-to-flash cycles to securely store data. This urgent operation requires about several milliseconds to get it done. When the supplied voltage is below a certain percentage of the required, the flash controller will be signaled by a detector IC component with low power detection signal and then the firmware will communicate the controller to flush all the data into the cache of Flash storage area. This can prevent incomplete data transmission. The crucial part lies in the strength of the capacitor of the SSD. The capacitor must be able to hold up some milliseconds of remaining time before the power is totally out, for the urgent write-back-into-flash operations to complete. 9 © 2012 Apacer Technology Inc.
