2.6 Reliability
Intel SSD DC S3500 Series meets or exceeds SSD endurance and data retention requirements as specified in the
JESD218 standard. Reliability specifications are listed in the following table:
Table 11: Reliability Specifications
Uncorrectable bit error rate will not exceed one sector in the specified
number of bits read. In the unlikely event of a non-recoverable read
error, the SSD will report it as a read failure to the host; the sector in
< 1 sector per 1017 bits read

methodology and demonstrated through Reliability Demonstration Test

2.7 Temperature Sensor
The Intel SSD DC S3500 Series has an onboard temperature sensor with an accuracy of +/-2C over a range
of -20C to +80C which can be monitored using two SMART attributes: Airflow Temperature (BEh) and Device
Internal Temperature (C2h). The M.2 product will report the same value for both SMART attributes.
2.8 Thermal Considerations
Because there is no enclosure on the device, the Intel SSD DC S3500 Series M.2 form factor requires thermal
considerations in both device location and airflow design within the system environment. The system design must
guarantee that the M.2 SSD does not exceed the PCB temperature specification (as defined in Table 9) by providing
the proper amount of forced airflow.
As temperatures approach the PCB maximum temperature specification (as defined in Table 9), thermal throttling will
activate, reducing the total power consumed, which has the effect of slowing write performance to help reduce
operating temperature (read performance may also be reduced). As the PCB temperature lowers, the throttling
operation deactivates and the M.2 SSD will return to normal operating performance after reaching the full
performance temperature range.
2.9 Hot Plug Support
Hot plug is not supported in the M.2 Specification. However, the DC S3500 M.2 can support hot plug operations when
used with an interposer design that electrically supports hot plug operations. User Data is protected from planned or
unplanned power loss by the Enhanced Power Management technology on the DC S3500 Series.

5.4.2 Timed Workload Endurance Indicators
Timed Workload Media Wear Indicator — ID E2h
This attribute tracks the drive wear seen by the device during the last wear timer loop, as a percentage of
the maximum rated cycles. The raw value tracks the percentage up to 2 decimal precision points. This
value should be divided by 1024 to get the percentage.
For example: if the raw value is 4455, the percentage is 4455/1024 = 4.35%. The raw value is held at
FFFFh until the wear timer (attribute E4h) reaches 60 (minutes) after a SMART EXECUTE OFFLINE
IMMEDIATE (B0h/D4h) subcommand 40h to the SSD. The normalized value is always set to 100 and
should be ignored.
Timed Workload Host Reads Percentage — ID E3h
This attribute shows the percentage of I/O operations that are read operations during the last workload
timer loop. The raw value tracks this percentage and is held at FFFFh until the workload timer (attribute
E4h) reaches 60 (minutes). The normalized value is always set to 100 and should be ignored.
Workload Timer — ID E4h
This attribute is used to measure the time elapsed during the current workload. The attribute is reset
when a SMART EXECUTE OFFLINE IMMEDIATE (D4h) subcommand 40h is issued to the drive. The raw
value tracks the time in minutes and has a maximum value of 2
The normalized value is always set to 100 and should be ignored.

User Notes
•Sending a SMART EXECUTE OFFLINE IMMEDIATE (B0h/D4h) subcommand 40h to the SSD
resets and starts all three attributes (Media Wear Indicator, Attribute E2h, Host Reads
Percentage, Attribute E3h, and the Workload timer, Attribute E4h to FFFFh.
•The Attribute raw values are held at FFFFh until the Workload timer (Attribute E4h) reaches
a total of 60 (minutes) of power on time. After 60 minutes, the Timed Workload data is
made available.
•After the Workload timer (E4h) reaches 60 (minutes), the Timed Workload data is saved
every minute so only 59 seconds of data is lost if power is removed without receiving ATA
STANDBY IMMEDIATE. Accumulated data is not reset due to power loss.
•Upon power up, the attributes hold a snapshot of their last saved values for 59 seconds
and live data is available after 60 seconds, once the initial one hour interval is completed.

Example Use Cases
The Timed Workload Endurance attributes described in this section are intended to be used to
measure the amount of media wear that the drive is subjected to during a timed workload.
Ideally, the system that the drive is being used in should be capable of issuing SMART commands.
Otherwise, provisions have been provided to allow the media wear attributes to be persistent so the
drive can be moved to a SMART capable system to read out the drive wear attribute values.
Use Case 1 – With a System Capable of SMART Commands
1. On a SMART capable system, issue the SMART EXECUTE OFF-LINE IMMEDIATE (D4h) sub-
command 40h to reset the drive wear attributes.
2. Run the workload to be evaluated for at least 60 minutes. Otherwise the drive wear attrib-
utes will not be available.
3. Read out the drive wear attributes with the SMART READ DATA (D0h) command.
Use Case 2 – With a System Not Capable of SMART Commands
4. On a SMART capable system, issue the SMART EXECUTE OFF-LINE IMMEDIATE (D4h) sub-
command 40h to reset the drive wear attributes.
5. Move the drive to the system where the workload will be measured (and not capable of
SMART commands).
6. Run the workload to be evaluated for at least 60 minutes. Otherwise the drive wear attrib-
utes will not be available.
7. Do a clean system power down by issuing the ATA STANDBY IMMEDIATE command prior
to shutting down the system. This will store all the drive wear SMART attributes to persistent memory within the drive.
8. Move the drive to a SMART capable system.
9. Read out the drive wear attributes with the SMART READ DATA (D0h) command within 59
seconds after power-up.

Example Calculation of Drive Wear
Following is an example of how the drive wear attributes can be used to evaluate the impact of a
given workload. The Host Writes SMART attribute (E1h) can also be used to calculate the amount of
data written by the host during the workload by reading this attribute before and after running the
workload. This example assumes that the steps shown in “Example Use Cases” on page 18 were followed to obtain the following attribute values:
•Timed Workload Media Wear (E2h) has a raw value of 16. Therefore, the percentage wear =
16/1024 = 0.016%.
•Timed Workload Host Read/Write Ratio (E3h) has a normalized value of 80, indicating that
80% of operations were reads.
• Workload Timer (E4h) has a raw value of 500. Therefore the workload ran for 500 minutes.
• Host Writes Count (E1h) had a raw value of 100,000 prior to running the workload and a
value of 130,000 at the end of the workload. Therefore, the number of sectors written by
the host during the workload was 30,000 * 65,535 = 1,966,050,000 sectors or
1,966,050,000 * 512/1,000,000,000 = 1,007 GB.
The following conclusions can be made for this example case:
The workload took 500 minutes to complete with 80% reads and 20% writes. A total of 1,007 GB of data
was written to the device, which increased the media wear in the drive by 0.016%. At this point in time,
this workload is causing a wear rate of 0.016% for every 500 minutes, or 0.00192%/hour.
5.4.3 SMART Logs
The Intel SSD DC S3500 Series M.2 implements the following Log Addresses: 00h, 02h, 03h, 06h, and
07h.
The DC S3500 Series M.2 implements host vendor specific logs (addresses 80h-9Fh) as read and write
scratchpads, where the default value is zero (0). Intel SSD DC S3510 does not write any specific values to
these logs unless directed by the host through the appropriate commands.
The DC S3500 Series M.2 also implements a device vendor specific log at address A9h as a read-only log
area with a default value of zero (0). Besides that, the DC S3500 Series M.2 also implements log address
B8h (if the drive is in disable logical mode, log address B8h will have the word error code for *BAD_CTX).
Finally the DC S3500 Series M.2 also implements log at addresses B9h and BAh (both of them are Intel
error logs, and read only for customers).
5.5 Device Statistics
In addition to the SMART attribute structure, statistics pertaining to the operation and health of the Intel
SSD DC S3500 Series M.2 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.
The following table lists the Device Statistics supported by the Intel SSD DC S3500 Series M.2.
