NVMe PCIe SSD

1.0 Introduction

1.1 General Description

This document describes the specifications of the Samsung SSD PM983, which is a native-PCIe SSD for enterprise application.

The Samsung SSD PM983 presents outstanding performance with instant responsiveness to the host system, by applying the Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) 3.0 interface standard, as well as highly efficient Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) Protocol.

The Samsung SSD PM983 delivers wide bandwidth of up to 3,000MB/s for sequential read speed and up to 1,900MB/s for sequential write speed under up to 10.6W power. With the help of Toggle 2.0 NAND Flash interface, the Samsung SSD PM983 delivers random performance of up to 540KIOPS for random 4KB read and up to 50KIOPS for random 4KB write in the sustained state.

By combining the enhanced reliability Samsung NAND Flash memory silicon with NAND Flash management technologies, the Samsung SSD PM983 delivers the extended endurance of up to 1.3 drive writes per day over 3 years, which is suitable for enterprise applications, in 2.5" form factor lineups: 960GB, 1.92TB, 3.84TB and 7.68TB.

In addition, the Samsung SSD PM983 supports Power Loss Protection (PLP). PLP solution can guarantee that data issued by the host system are written to the storage media without any loss in the event of sudden power off or sudden power failure.

2.5 Power

The Samsung SSD PM983 is implemented in standardized 2.5" form factor and gets primary 12V power t from the host system. For 12V, the allowable voltage tolerance and noise level in SSD are described in chapter 2.4.1, the power consumption in 2.4.2 and the inrush current in

2.4.3.

100Khz to 20Mhz : 150 mVp-p Max

2.5.2 Power Consumption (12V)

In enterprise server and storage system, the Samsung SSD PM983 is designed for the specific usage, which means that SSD will be always operated by the host system during the entire life. Hence, the Samsung SSD PM983 does not manage any low power modes except for the Active/Idle and Off mode.

NOTE:

1) Power consumption was measured in the 12V power pins of the connector plug in SSD. The active and idle power is defined as the highest averaged power value, which is the maximum RMS average value over 100 ms duration.

2) The measurement condition for active power is assumed for 100% sequential read and write.

3) The idle state is defined as the state that the host system can issue any commands into SSD at any time.

2.5.4 Power Loss Protection

By using internal back-up power technology, the Samsung SSD PM983 supports power loss protection (PLP) feature to guarantee the reliability of data requested by the host system. When power is unpredictably lost, SSD can detect automatically this abnormal situation and transfer all user data and meta-data cached in DRAM into the Flash media during any SSD operations.

2.6 Reliability

The reliability specification of the Samsung SSD PM983 follows JEDEC standard, which are included in JESD218A and JESD219A documents

2.6.1 Mean Time Between Failures

By definition, Mean Time between Failures (MTBF) is the estimated time between failures occurring during SSD operation.

[Table 11] MTBF Specifications

Parameter 960GB 1.92TB 3.84TB 7.68TB(target)

MTBF 2,000,000 Hours

2.6.2 Uncorrectable Bit Error Rate

By definition, Uncorrectable Bit Error Rate (UBER) is a metric for the rate of occurrence of data errors, equal to the number of data errors per bits read as specified in the JESD218 document of JEDEC standard.

[Table 12] UBER Specifications

Parameter 960GB 1.92TB 3.84TB 7.68TB(target)

2.6.3 Data Retention

By definition, data retention is the expected time period for retaining data in the SSD at the maximum rated endurance in power-off state as specified in the JESD218 document of JEDEC standard.

[Table 13] Data Retention

Parameter 960GB 1.92TB 3.84TB 7.68TB(target)

Data Retention

NOTE:

1) Data retention was measured by assuming that SSD reaches the maximum rated endurance at 40C in power-off state.

3 months

2.6.4 Endurance

By definition, the endurance of SSD in enterprise application is defined as the maximum number of drive writes per day that can meet the requirements specified in the JESD218 document of JEDEC standard.

[Table 14] Drive Write Per Day (DWPD)

Parameter 960GB 1.92TB 3.84TB 7.68TB(target)

7.0 SPOR Specification (Sudden Power Off and Recovery)

7.1 Data Recovery in Sudden Power off

If power interruption is detected, SSD dumps all cached user data and meta data to NAND Flash. SSD could protect even the user data in DRAM from sudden power off while SSD is used with cache on. Commonly, data is protected all of the operation period.

7.2 Time to Ready Sequence

In normal power-off recovery status, SSD needs less than 8 seconds to reach operating mode where SSD works perfectly with cache-on state. SSD is ready to respond identify Device command during FTL OPEN. When the sudden power-off occurs, the user data in DRAM will be dumped into the NAND Flash using the stored power in the capacitor. In sudden power-off recovery condition, mapping data will be loaded or the FTL meta data be rebuilt perfectly for initial max. 20 seconds in 3.84TB. During this period, Identify Device command is still supported. It is called SPOR. (Sudden Power Off and Recovery)

The 16-bit value is 2s complement representation of a temperature with the Bit 4 equal to the minimum granularity of 1 °C. Bit 12 is the sign bit. For example:

1. a value of 0190h represents 25 °C,

2. a value of 07C0 h represents 124 °C, and

3. a value of 1E80 h represents –24 °C By choosing the starting of the lowest bit the resolution of the temperature sensor can be defined. For SMBus temperature capability support PM983’s temperature sensor is at resolution of 1°C (8-bit)

Caution: Any changes or modifications in construction of this device which are not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications, However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operated the equipment under FCC rules.
