Architecture

The Intel Z-P230 PATA Solid State Drive is a dual-channel PATA controller driven SSD
available in a ZIF connector or mini PCIe form factor.
The PATA controller in the Intel® Z-P230 PATA Solid State Drive uses a microcontroller-
based architecture that enables two flash memory channels to service read and write
operations. See
Drive" on page
implements internal wear leveling to minimize system overhead.
Intel Z-P230 PATA Solid State Drives use Intel MD516 NAND Flash Memory multi-level
cell (MLC) thin-small outline package (TSOP) devices in three capacities: 4 GB, 8 GB
and 16 GB. Refer to the Intel MD516 NAND Flash Memory Datasheet for details about
this component. Please see
for more information.
Intel MLC NAND uses the industry-standard ONFI NAND flash memory command set
that is capable of program page cache mode, page read cache mode, two plane
commands and interleaved die operations.
