  • Page 63 Appendix Solid State Drive Introduction A reliable means of data storage is a concern in industrial applications with harsh requirements. Standard rotating media with its spinning platters and head arms (with temperature limitations) present obstacles to the reliable storage of data. Solid state drives (SSD) are a direct replacement for rotating hard drives on the IDE bus.
  • Page 64 Appendix D Solid State Drive • The solid state drive installs on the computer’s IDE bus via the IDE ribbon cable. Pay close attention to connector alignment. Careless assembly can bend a pin or misalign the connectors, resulting in hardware damage. Configuration The solid state drive is configured for a single drive system, or as a master in a multiple drive system.
  • Page 65 Solid State Drive Appendix D Operation The solid state drive appears to the system host as a standard rotating hard drive when powered up. The system host identifies the solid state drive during powerup and sets the IDE bus speed to reflect the drives capability:.
  • Page 66 Appendix D Solid State Drive Wear leveling algorithms in flash memory drives offer an advantage to the overall throughput of the memory and the life expectancy of the drive. Wear leveling evenly distributes data that is written to memory across all free space on the drive. As one block of memory is written and filled, another is made available for the next data transfer.
  • Page 67 Solid State Drive Appendix D Application Example Two The OS is updating its FAT table and root directory twice a second. This update requires one block of memory (128 K). Every write regardless of location writes to a single block. In this case, wear leveling is limited to 1 zone (512 blocks).
