When referring to drive capacity, one gigabyte, or GB, equals one billion bytes and one terabyte, or TB, equals one trillion bytes. Your
computer’s operating system may use a different standard of measurement and report a lower capacity. In addition, some of the listed
capacity is used for formatting and other functions, and thus will not be available for data storage. Actual quantities will vary based on
various factors, including file size, file format, features and application software. Actual data rates may vary depending on operating
environment and other factors. The export or re-export of hardware or software containing encryption may be regulated by the U.S.

Media, 5mm Model
1.1 ABOUT THE SERIAL ATA INTERFACE
The Serial ATA interface provides several advantages:
• Easy installation and configuration with true plug-and-play connectivity. It is not necessary to set any jumpers or other configuration options.
• Thinner and more flexible cabling for improved enclosure airflow and ease of installation.
• Scalability to higher performance levels.
The Serial ATA interface connects each drive in a point-to-point configuration with the Serial ATA host adapter. If two drives
are attached on one Serial ATA host adapter, the host operating system views the two devices as if they were both “masters”
on two separate ports.
Note. The host adapter may, optionally, emulate a master/slave environment to host software where two devices on
separate Serial ATA ports are represented to host software as a Device 0 (master) and Device 1 (slave)
accessed at the same set of host bus addresses. A host adapter that emulates a master/slave environment manages two sets of shadow registers. This is not a typical Serial ATA environment.
The Serial ATA host adapter and drive share the function of emulating parallel ATA device behavior to provide backward
compatibility with existing host systems and software. The Command and Control Block registers, PIO and DMA data
transfers, resets, and interrupts are all emulated.
The Serial ATA host adapter contains a set of registers that shadow the contents of the traditional device registers, referred
to as the Shadow Register Block. All Serial ATA devices behave like Device 0 devices. For additional information about how
Serial ATA emulates parallel ATA, refer to the “Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment” specification. The
specification can be downloaded from www.serialata.org.

Peak performance is defined as the typical best case performance that the product will be able to achieve when the
product is preconditioned as mentioned and host commands are aligned on 4KB boundaries.
Sustained performance is defined as the typical worst case pe rformance that the product will be able to achieve when the
product is preconditioned as mentioned and host commands are aligned on 4KB boundaries.
Due to the nature of Flash memory technologies there are many factors that can result in values different than those stated
in this specification. Some discrepancies can be caused by bandwidth limitations in the host adapter, operating system, or
driver limitations. It is not the intent of this manual to cover all possible causes of performance discrepancies.
When evaluating performance of SSD devices, it is recommended to measure performance of the device in a method that
resembles the targeted application using real world data and workloads. Test time should also be adequately large to ensure
that sustainable metrics and measures are obtained.

2.7 POWER SPECIFICATIONS
The drive receives DC power (+5V) through a native SATA power connector. See 2 on page 16.
2.7.1 Power consumption
Power requirements for the drives are listed in the table on page 9. Typical power measurements are based on an average
of drives tested, under nominal conditions, at 35°C ambient temperature.
• Startup power
Startup power is measured from the time of power-on to the time that the drive reaches operating condition and can process media access commands.
• Peak operating mode
During peak operating mode, the drive is tested in various read and write access patterns to simulate the worst-case
power consumption.
• Idle mode power
Idle mode power is measured with the drive powered up and ready for media access commands, with no media access
commands having been received from the host.
• Standby mode
During Standby mode, the drive accepts commands, but not be able to immediately access the media because the drive
electronics are in a partial power-down mode.
