Without limitation to the foregoing, SanDisk shall not be liable for any loss, injury or damage caused by use of its products in any of the following applications:...
“Multi Stream” support, performance throttling, and move/copy mega- files in high performance. With a state of the art and an evolutionary controller design, SanDisk SSD provides more than fast sequential read/write performance and provides significant improved random I/O performance and multi stream capabilities enabling SanDisk SSD to work much faster.
SanDisk SSD X100 Product Manual (Released) Rev 1.0 Functional Description The SSD X100 contains a high-level, intelligent storage subsystem with powerful capabilities. These capabilities include the following: Supports multi stream – improves user experience in multitasking systems Support for Trim command ...
The SSD soft error rate specification is much better than the magnetic disk drive specification. In the extremely rare case that a read error does occur, the SSD X100 products have innovative algorithms to recover the data by using error detection code and error correction code (EDC/ECC).
1.4.4 Tiered Caching The SSD X100 supports a unique feature to improve random write performance and ensure very positive user experience. Studies show that modern operating systems mostly access the storage device using small access blocks, with the majority being 4KB access blocks.
Performance Throttling In order to protect the integrity of the data and prevent excessive heat dissipation, the SSD X100 utilizes an on-board/on-chip thermal sensor to monitor the SSD’s critical component junction temperature. If the temperature rises above the allowable limit, the performance will be reduced until the temperature decreases to an allowable level.
Rev 1.0 General Product Specifications Interface The SSD X100 interface complies with the Serial ATA standard published by ANSI. The device complies with the SATA 6Gb/s, Revision 3.0 specifications and supports ATA-8 Command Set ACS-2. For more information, refer to the American National Standard X3.221: AT Attachment for Interface for Disk Drives document.
X100 that hasn’t been succesfully programmed into flash memory (this is a feature of ATA and not specific to SanDisk SSD products). To ensure this data is properly committed to flash memory, the X100 requires a Flush Cache command followed by a Standby Immediate command prior to power being removed.
X100 while it is operating with a typical OS installed. The power consumption is being measured while running MobileMark™ 2007 with Device Initiated Power Management (DIPM) enabled (allowing the SSD X100 to enter low power modes during host idle time). MobileMark™ 2007 simulates the usage of standard user applications in the Windows environment, providing a reproducible test platform for measuring average power consumption.
(tested separately) with a transfer size of 256 sectors per command (128KB). Sampling interval is 1 second. Measurement of operating power consumption is meant to demonstrate the worst-case continuous power required by the SSD X100 during long read or write command sequences.
Rev 1.0 Low Power Mode Consumption Low power mode consumption is defined as the mode where the SSD X100 has entered Slumber mode (SATA PHY state) and DPDM (SSD X100 specific ‘deep power down mode’ that is entered after a period of IDLE where no ATA commands are received from the host).
Table 5 -6: SanDisk SSD X100 ESD Specification Acoustics The SSD X100 does not generate any acoustics noise (0dB). EMI/RFI Compliance The SanDisk SSD X100 is certified to comply with the following standards. Standard FCC Part 15 Class B IECS-003 Class B...
Product Manual (Released) Rev 1.0 Chemical Restrictions SSD X100 complies with the European Union’s Restriction on Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EU RoHS) Directive 2002/95/EC and its amendments European Union’s Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), Regulation (EC) 1907/2006.
MTTF (Mean-Time-To-Failure) The reliability figure of merit most often used for electronic equipment is Mean-Time-To-Failure (MTTF). SanDisk estimates MTTF using a prediction methodology based in accordance with the Telcordia Special Report SR-332. The prediction is based on a Parts Stress Analysis.
