1.0 Overview
This document describes the specifications and capabilities of the Intel® Solid-State
Drive 320 Series (Intel
®
SSD 320 Series).
The Intel SSD 320 Series delivers leading performance for Serial Advanced Technology
Attachment (SATA)-based computers in capacities up to 600 GB.
By combining Intel's leading 25nm NAND Flash Memory technolo gy with SATA 3Gb/s
interface support, the Intel SSD 320 Series delivers sequential read speeds of up to
270 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 220 MB/s.
The industry-standard 1.8-inch and 2.5-inch form factors enable interchangeability
with existing hard disk drives (HDDs) and native SATA HDD drop-in replacement with
the enhanced performance, reliability, ruggedness, and power savings offered by an
SSD.
As compared to standard SATA HDDs, the Intel SSD 320 Series offers these key
features:
• High I/O and throughput performance
•Low power
• Increased system responsiveness
• High reliability
• Enhanced ruggedness

2.6 Reliability
The Intel SSD 320 Series meets or exceeds SSD endurance and data retention
requirements as specified in the JESD218 specification.
Reliability specifications are listed in Table 8.
Table 8. Reliability Specifications
Parameter Value
Uncorrectable Bit Error Rate (UBER) 1 sector in 10
Uncorrectable bit error rate will not exceed one sector in the
specified number of bits read. In the unlikely event of a
nonrecoverable read error, the SSD will report it as a read failure to
the host; the sector in error is considered corrupt and is not
returned to the host.
Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) 1,200,000 hours
Mean Time Between Failure is estimated based on Telcordia*
methodology and demonstrated through Reliability Demonstration
Test (RDT).
Power On/Off Cycles 50,000 cycles
Power On/Off Cycles is defined as power being removed from the
SSD and then restored. Most host systems remove power from the
SSD when entering suspend and hibernate as well as on a system
shutdown.
Minimum Useful Life/Endurance Rating 5 years
The SSD will have a minimum of five years of useful life under
typical client workloads with up to 20 GB of host writes per day.
Insertion Cycles 250 insertion/removal cycles
The SSD supports up to 250 insertion/removal cycles on SATA/
power cable.
16
bits read, max
2.7 Hot Plug Support
Hot Plug insertion and removal is supported in the presence of a proper connector and
appropriate operating system (OS), as described in the SATA 2.6 specification.
This product supports asynchronous signal recovery and issues an unsolicited COMINIT
when first mated with a powered connector to guarantee reliable detection by a host
system without hardware device detection.

Re-allocated Sector Count
The raw value of this attribute shows the
number of retired block s since leaving the
factory (grown defect count).
Power-On Hours Count
Reports the cumulative number of power-on
hours over the life of the device. However,
the On/Off status of the Device Initiated
Power Management (DIPM) feature will
affect the number of hours reported. If DIPM
is turned On, the recorded value for
power-on hours does not include the time
that the device is in a "slumber" state. If
DIPM is turned Off, the recorded value for
power-on hours should match the clock
time, as all three device states are counted:
active, idle and slumber.
Power Cycle Count
The raw value of this attribute reports the
cumulative number of power cycle events
over the life of the device.
Program Fail Count
The raw value of this attribute shows total
count of program fails and the normalized
value, beginning at 100, shows the percent
remaining of allowable program fails.
Erase Fail Count
The raw value of this attribute shows total
count of erase fails and the normalized
value, beginning at 100, shows the percent
remaining of allowable erase fails.
SATA Downshift Count
1
The count of the number of times SATA
interface selected lower signaling rate due
to error.
End-to-End Error Detection Count
Reports number of errors encountered
during logical block address (LBA) tag
checks, within the SSD data path.
Uncorrectable Error Count
The raw value shows the count of errors
that could not be recovered using Error
Correction Code (ECC).
Power-Off Retract Count (Unsafe Shutdown
Count)
The raw value of this attribute reports the
cumulative number of unsafe (unclean)
shutdown events over the life of the device.
An unsafe shutdown occurs whenever the
device is powered off without STANDBY
IMMEDIATE being the last command.

CRC Error Count
C7h
1
The total number of encountered SATA
interface cyclic redundancy check (CRC)
errors.

Host Writes
The raw value of this attribute reports the
E1h
total number of sectors written by the host
system. The raw value is increased by 1 for
every 65,536 sectors (32MB) written by
110010 0 (none)
the host.
Timed Workload Media Wear
E2h
E3h
Measures the wear seen by the SSD (since
reset of the workload timer, attribute E4h),
as a percentage of the maximum rated
cycles.
Timed Workload Host Read/Write Ratio
Shows the percentage of I/O operations
that are read operations (since reset of the
110010 0 (none)
110010 0 (none)
workload timer, attribute E4h).
E4h
Timed Workload Timer
Measures the elapsed time (number of
110010 0 (none)
minutes since starting this workload timer).
Available Reserved Space
This attribute reports the number o f r es e rv e
E8h
blocks remaining. The normalized value
begins at 100 (64h), which corresponds to
100 percent availability of the reserved
space. The threshold value for this attribute
is 10 percent availability.
110011 10
Media Wearout Indicator
This attribute reports the number of cycles
the NAND media has undergone. The
normalized value declines linearly from 100
E9h
to 1 as the average erase cycle count
increases from 0 to the maximum rated
cycles.
Once the normalized value reaches 1, the
number will not decrease, although it is likely
that significant additional wear can be put

5.4.2 SMART Logs
The Intel SSD 320 Series implements the following Log Addresses: 00h, 02h, 03h, 06h,
and 07h.
The Intel SSD 320 Series implements host vendor specific logs (addresses 80h-9Fh) as
read and write scratchpads, where the default value is zero (0). Intel SSD 320 Series
does not write any specific values to these logs unless directed by the host through the
appropriate commands.
The Intel SSD 320 Series also implements a device vendor specific log at address A9h
as a read-only log area with a default value of zero (0).
5.5 Device Statistics
In addition to the SMART attribute structure, statistics pertaining to the operation and
health of the Intel SSD 320 Series can be reported to the host on request through the
Device Statistics log as defined in the ATA specification.
The Device Statistics log is a read-only GPL/SMART log located at read log address
0x04 and is accessible using READ LOG EXT, READ LOG DMA EXT or SMART READ LOG
commands.
Table 14 lists the Device Statistics supported by the Intel SSD 320 Series.

5.6 SMART Command Transport (SCT)
With SMART Command Transport (SCT), a host can send commands and data to an
SSD and receive status and data from an SSD using standard write/read commands to
manipulate two SMART Logs:

The Intel SSD 320 Series supports the following standard SCT actions:
• Write Same — Intel SSD 320 Series implements this action code as described in the
ATA specification.
• Error Recovery Control — Intel SSD 320 Series accepts this action code, and will
store and return error-recovery time limit values.
• Feature Control - Intel SSD 320 Series supports feature code 0001h (write cache)
and feature code 0002h (write cache reordering).
