1 Introduction

1.1 Overview

The ASD26 (ASD26-MT1) series 2.5" SATA 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 series 2.5" SATA SSD in 2.5" form factors.

The ASD26 series 2.5" SATA 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 series 2.5" SATA 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.

Table 2: Maximum Sustained Read and Write Bandwidth

Notes: 1). Performance measured using CrystalDiskMark, ATTO.

2). 1 MB/sec = 1,048,576 bytes/sec is used in measuring sequential performance. If

1 MB/sec = 1,000,000 bytes/sec is used, performance values become 4.85% higher.

3). Test platform: Sandy Bridge (Windows 7 64-bit)

4). Actual performance dependent on specific application.
