Industrial SSD – Viking’s Industrial SSD contains sophisticated provisions to protect firmware and data from corruption due to unexpected power loss. However, a Industrial SSD by industry definition does not contain on-board capacitance. Should power fail unexpectedly, “in-flight” write data may be lost. Industrial SSD’s are best used in designs that manage power fail events at the system level. Manual PSFEM1XXXGPXXX Revision B4 www.vikingtechnology.

1.3 SATA Interface for VRFEM1xxxGP • • • The Serial ATA (SATA) interface is compliant with the SATA IO Serial ATA specification, revision 3.x that supports SATA up to 6Gbps. The SATA interface connects the host computer to the SSD subsystem. The SATA interface runs at a maximum speed of 6.0Gbps (Gigabits per second). If the host computer is unable to negotiate a speed of 6.0Gbps, the SATA interface automatically renegotiates to a speed of 3.0 or 1.5 Gbps.
Table 2-1: Maximum Sustained Read and Write: MB/sec and IOPS Access Type VRFEM1xxxGP Units Sequential Read, 128K block size Up to 500 MB/s Sequential Write, 128K block size Up to 500 MB/s Random Read, 4K block size Up to 60,000 IOPS Random Write, 4K block size Up to 20,000 IOPS Notes: 1. Performance measured using IOmeter 08 with queue depth set to 32. 2. Write Cache enabled. 3. Random IOPS cover the entire range of legal logical block addresses (LBA’s).
2.3 Electrical Characteristics 2.3.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings Values shown are stress ratings only. Functional operation outside normal operating values is not implied. Extended exposure to absolute maximum ratings may affect reliability.

2.3.4 Power Consumption All onboard power requirements of the Slim SATA are derived from the SATA 5.0V input rail. Table 2-7: Typical Power Consumption Mode VRFEM1xxxGPxx1 Unit 2.0 <0.4 W W Read/Writes Idle Notes: 1. Typical power workload: 16K block size, 50% read, 50% sequential write. Maximum power workload: 256K block size, 0% read, 100% sequential write. 2. Typical power consumption is that of a device with 64GB of physical capacity. 2.4 Environmental Conditions 2.4.

2.5.1.1 DATA ECC Algorithms The following data error correction is provided: • Up to 55 bytes of redundancy applied to 512 bytes of data 2.5.1.2 Data Path CRC Error Detection CRC error detection is applied against data along internal data paths. CRC detection uses a 32-bit checksum (CRC32) to protect data along all internal data paths. 2.5.1.3 RAISETM Data Protection Against Catastrophic Flash Page/Block Failure R.A.I.S.E.
2.5.1.4 Firmware Code Protection Firmware requires special attention to ensure the code is execution-worthy. For this reason, firmware is stored in multiple redundant images in the Flash array. Image checksums are compared between all stored copies to ensure identical code. Any image not corroborated by at least one other image is discarded. In this way a reliable firmware image is always chosen on boot-up for execution.
more by erasures and writes over time. That is, it determines actual cell wear, not simply assumed wear normalized to write/erase events. The controller employs this information in its superior wear-leveling algorithm along with its ongoing record of writes and erasures, to ensure each block is impacted by P-E cycles no more than the average. The result is an SSD that is far more reliable across its full capacity and over a far greater length of time.

Table 5-6: Baseline S.M.A.R.T. Attribute Details ID 1 Attribute Name Raw Read Error Rate Description Raw error rate related to ECC errors. Errors are counted as ECC errors above a threshold. For the controller, this attribute includes Uncorrectable ECC (UECC) errors, and Uncorrectable RAISE (URAISE)errors.
ID 5 Attribute Name Retired Block Count Description Tracks the total number of retired blocks. Normalized Equation: Count = 100 - (100* RBC / MRB) RBC = RetiredBlockCount = Number of retired blocks. MRB = MinimumReqBlocks = Minimum number of reserve blocks available for controller use. This value is set at factory configuration time. Rational The normalized equation for this attribute decrements as blocks are retired and the reserve (over-provisioned) block count is decremented.
ID Attribute Name Description [6-4] : None (0x00) Rational 171 Program Fail Count Counts the number of flash program failures. This Attribute returns the total number of Flash program operation failures since the drive was deployed. Usage: [3-0] : Program Error Count [6-4] : None (0x00) This Attribute is identical to Attribute 181. Counts the number of flash erase failures. This Attribute returns the total number of Flash erase operation failures since the drive was deployed.
ID 177 Attribute Name Wear Range Delta Description Provides a value equal to the delta between the max worn Flash block and the least worn Flash block, as a percentage of the max rated wear of the SSD. Rational This Attribute identifies the “delta” between most-worn and least-worn Flash blocks, as a percentage of the max rated wear of the Flash memory on the SSD. Equation: Wear Range Delta = [(MW - LW) / MRW] x 100 For 10,000-cycle Flash, where 1% of rated cycles is 100 cycles, a value of 1.
ID 187 Attribute Name Reported Uncorrectable Errors (URAISE) Description Uncorrectable Errors (URAISE) This attribute tracks the number of uncorrectable RAISE (URAISE) errors reported back to the host for all data access commands. Normalized Equation: 100 - (URAISE) Normalized Value Range: Best = 100 Worst = 1 194 Temperature Raw Usage: [1-0] : Cumulative lifetime URAISE errors [6-2] : None (0x00) Temperature of the SSD assembly. That is,the temperature inside the SSD housing.
