  • Page 16: Product Description

    ESCRIPTION General Description The MACH2 1.8-inch ATA Solid State Drive (SSD) is a non-volatile mass storage device. The drive is intended as a replacement for a standard IDE/ATA-compliant hard disk drive (HDD). The drive can be configured as a boot or data storage device. The drive is Plug and Play (PnP) compatible; no additional device drivers are required to install the drive.

  • Page 17: Performance Characteristics

    The dynamic and static wear-leveling algorithms integrated in the firmware guarantees that erase/ write cycles are evenly distributed across all of the flash memory block locations. Wear-leveling eliminates repeated writes to the same physical flash memory location, thereby preventing blocks from premature wear. MACH2 1.8-Inch ATA Solid State Drive...

  • Page 18: Bad-Block Management

    The EDC/ECC engine on the MACH2 SSD is capable of correcting up to 4 bytes in error and detecting up to 5 bytes in error. An extensive retry algorithm is also implemented on the SSD, so that single event disturbances such as ESD or EMF occurring during a read operation can be readily overcome.
