1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The ASD26-HA2 series 2.5" SATA 3 Gb/s Solid State Drive (SSD) delivers leading performance in an industry
standard 2.5" form factor while simultaneously improving system responsiveness for mobile applications over
standard rotating drive media or hard disk drives. By combining leading NAND flash memory technology with
our innovative high performance firmware, ADLINK delivers a SSD for native Serial Advanced Technology
Attachment (SATA) hard disk drive drop-in replacement with enhanced performance, reliability, ruggedness and
power savings. Since there are no rotating platters, moving heads, fragile actuators, or unnecessary delays due
to spin-up time or positional seek time that can slow down the storage subsystem, significant I/O and
throughput performance improvement is achieved as compared to rotating media or hard disk drives. This
document describes the specifications of the ASD26-HA2 series 2.5" SATA 3 Gb/s SSD in 2.5" form factors.
The ASD26-HA2 series 2.5" SATA 3 Gb/s SSD primarily targets SATA based servers, fanless laptop PCs, highly
rugged mobile client devices, as well as thin and light mini/sub-notebooks. Key attributes include high
performance, low power, increased system responsiveness, high reliability, and enhanced ruggedness as
compared to standard mobile SATA hard drives. The ASD26-HA2 series 2.5" SATA 3 Gb/s SSD is available in a
2.5" form factor that is electrically, mechanically, and software compatible with existing 2.5” Serial ATA slots
and cables. Our flexible design allows interchangeability with existing mobile hard drives based on the SATA
interface standard.

1.6 Architecture
The ASD26-HA2 series 2.5" SATA 3 Gb/s Solid State Drive (SSD) utilizes a cost effective system-on-chip
(SoC) design to provide a full 6 Gb/s bandwidth with the host while managing multiple flash memory
devices on multiple channels internally.
1.7 Hot Plug Support
Hot Plug insertion and removal are supported when the correct connector and an appropriate operating
system (OS) are used as described in the SATA 3.0 Specification. This product supports asynchronous signal
recovery and will establish communications with a host system without hardware device detection by
issuing an unsolicited COMINIT when first mated with a powered connector.

Note:
1. All pins are in a single row, with a 1.27mm (0.05”) pitch
2. Pins P1, P2 and P3 are connected together, although they are not connected internally to
the device. The host may put 3.3v on these pins.
3. The mating sequence is
- The ground pins P4-P6, P10, P12 and the 5V power pin P7
- The signal pins and the rest of the 5V power pins P8-P9
4. Ground connectors P4 and P12 may contact before the other 1st mate pins in both the
power and signal connectors to discharge ESD in a suitably configured backplane connector.
5. Power pins P7, P8 and P9 are internally connected to one another within the device.
6. The host may ground P11 if it is not used for Device Activity Signal (DAS)
7. Pins P13, P14, P15 are connected together, although they are not connected internally to
the device.
