FIO test: 4KB transfer size, QD=1 or 32 on 4KB random read and write
workload on whole LBA range of SSD when the performance performs on
steady state and all background operations run normally.
According to random 4KB QD=1 and 32 workloads, the result of QoS is the
maximum round-trip time which is taken for 99.99% of commands to
host.
QoS can differ according to flash configuration and platform.

6. Feature Details
6.1 Flash Management
6.1.1 Error Correction Code (ECC)
Flash memory cells deteriorate with use. This can generate random bit errors in the stored data. The IronWolf 510 SSD
applies the LDPC ECC algorithm to detect and correct 340bits/2K Byte errors occur during read process, to make sure
the SSD reads correctly, and to protect data from corruption.
6.1.2 Wear Leveling
NAND flash devices can undergo only a limited number of program/erase cycles. Commonly, the SSD does not use
areas of the flash media evenly. If the SSD updates some areas more frequently than others, this reduces the lifetime of
the device. Wear Leveling extends the life of the NAND Flash by evenly distributing write and erase cycles across the
media.
Seagate’s advanced Wear Leveling algorithm spreads the flash usage throughout the whole flash media area.
Implementing dynamic and static Wear Leveling algorithms improves the life expectancy of the NAND flash.
6.1.3 Bad Block Management
Bad blocks do not function properly and they can contain more invalid bits. This can make stored data unstable and
bad block reliability is not guaranteed. Blocks identified and marked as bad by the manufacturer are called “Early Bad
Blocks”. Bad blocks that develop during the lifespan of the Flash are called “Later Bad Blocks”. Seagate’s bad block
management algorithm detects the factory-produced bad blocks and manages bad blocks that appear with use. This
practice prevents the drive from storing data in bad blocks and improves data reliability
6.1.4 TRIM
The TRIM feature improves the read/write performance and speed of SSDs. SSDs cannot overwrite existing data, so
the available space becomes smaller with each data block use. The TRIM command tells the SSD [through the
operating system] which data blocks can be removed permanently because they are no longer in use. The SSD erases
these unused data blocks.
6.1.5 SMART
SMART, stands for Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology. SMART is an open standard that allows an SSD
to automatically detect its health and report potential failures. When SMART records a failure, users can replace the
SSD to prevent unexpected outage or data loss. SMART can also inform users of impending failures while there is still
time to copy data to another device.
Seagate IronWolf 510 SSD Product Manual, Rev A 22
www.seagate.com
6.1.6 Over Provisioning
Over Provisioning (OP) preserves an additional area beyond user capacity in an SSD, which is not visible to users and
cannot be used by them. OP improves performance and IOPS (Input/Output Operations per Second) by providing the
controller additional space to manage P/E cycles. OP enhances the reliability and endurance as well. Moreover, the
write amplification of the SSD becomes lower when the controller writes data to the flash.
6.1.7 Firmware Upgrade
Firmware provides a set of instructions on how the device communicates with the host. Upgrade firmware when you
add features, fix compatibility issues, or after improvement of read/write performance.
6.1.8 Thermal Throttling
Thermal throttling prevents components in an SSD from over-heating during read and write operations. The IronWolf
510 SSD design provides an on-die and onboard thermal sensor. With this accuracy, firmware can apply different
levels of throttling to protect efficiently and proactively through the SMART 12 reading.
6.1.9 Multiple Namespaces
An NVMe namespace is a quantity of non-volatile memory (NVM) You can format this namespace into logical blocks.
You can use namespaces when you configure a storage virtual machine with the NVMe protocol.
You can support up to four namespaces for greater deployment flexibility.
6.1.10 Garbage Collection
Garbage collection allocates and releases memory to accelerate the read/write processing and improve performance.
When there is less available space, the SSD slows down the read/write processing and implements garbage collection
to release memory.
6.2 Advanced Device Security Features
6.2.1 Secure Erase
Secure Erase is a standard NVMe format command and it writes all of “0xFF” to fully wipe all the data on hard drives
and SSDs. When this command issues, the SSD controller erases its storage blocks and returns to its factory default
settings.
6.2.2 Physical Presence SID
The Physical Presence SID (PSID) is defined as a 32-character string. PSID reverses the SSD to its manufacturing setting
when the SSD is set through TCG Pyrite (non-SED). The PSID code is printed on the SSD label. PSID erases all data when
reverting the SSD to manufacturing settings.
Seagate IronWolf 510 SSD Product Manual, Rev A 23
www.seagate.com
6.2.3 Manufacturer’s Secure ID
The Manufacturer’s Secure ID (MSID) is defined as a 32-character string and is assigned in the manufacturing process.
You cannot change this data through the host system. You can retrieve MSID electronically from the SSD across the
interface. After getting the SSD, you must set a new password. If you do not set a new password, anyone who can reset
the MSID can control the SSD. Such an attack on the SSD is called Denial of Service (DoS) because the rightful owner is
locked out.
6.2.4 Sanitize
The Sanitize feature uses the Format NVM command to provide an alternative to the existing secure erase capabilities.
This feature provides robust data security by making sure the user data from the SSD media, caches, and the
Controller Memory Buffer are erased by the block erase operations, overwriting or destroying the encryption key. The
following table shows the types of Sanitize Operations supported.

NOTE Crypto Erase erases all the data of the AES-encrypted data structure by
resetting the cryptographic key of the disk. The previously encrypted data
becomes nonrecoverable.
Instant Security Erase erases all the data of the SED SSD with the
Opal-activated encrypted data structure by resetting the SSD with the PSID.
Because the key resets, you cannot access the previously encrypted data.
6.3 SSD Lifetime Management
Drive Writes per Day (DWPD) The Terabytes Written (TBW) specification of an SSD calculates how many times you
can write the user capacity of an SSD per day over the warranty period (or a different number of years), based on the
JEDEC workload used to specify the TBW.
DWPD = (TBW of an SSD x 1024) / (Warranty days x SSD size in GB)
TBW (Terabytes Written) measures the lifespan of the SSD. This measurement represents the amount of data written
to the device. To calculate the TBW of an SSD, use the following equation:
TBW = [(NAND Endurance) x (SSD Capacity)] / [ WAF]
NAND Endurance: NAND endurance refers to the P/E (Program/Erase) cycle of a NAND flash.
SSD Capacity: The SSD capacity is the specific capacity in total of an SSD.
WAF: Write Amplification Factor (WAF) is a numerical value. This value represents the ratio between the amount of
data that an SSD controller needs to write and the amount of data that the host’s flash controller writes. A WAF, near 1,
guarantees better endurance and lower frequency of data written to flash memory.
TBW in this document is based on the JEDEC 218/219 workload.

6.3.1 Media Wear Indicator
The SMART attribute byte index [5], Percentage Used, reports the Actual Life Indicator. Replace the SSD when this
number reaches 100%.
6.3.2 Read Only Mode (End of Life)
When program/erase cycles age the SSD, media wear-out can cause increasing numbers of bad blocks. When the
number of usable good blocks is less than the threshold (5%, SMART attribute log ID 02h Byte4), the SSD notifies the
host through an AER event and Critical Warning to enter Read Only Mode to prevent further data corruption. When
this happens, replace the SSD immediately.
6.4 Adaptive Approach to Performance Tuning
6.4.1 Predict and Fetch
When the Host tries to read data from the SSD, the SSD performs only one read action after receiving one command.
However, the IronWolf 510 SSD applies Predict and Fetch to improve the read speed. When the host issues sequential
read commands to the SSD, the SSD expects that the following are also read commands. Therefore, before receiving
the next command, flash has prepared the data. This accelerates data processing time, and the host needs less wait
time to receive data.
6.4.2 Throughput
Based on the available space of the SSD, the IronWolf 510 SSD regulates the read/write speed and manages the
performance of throughput. When the SSD has more space, the firmware continuously performs read/write actions.
When the SSD has less available space, it slows down the read/write processing and implements garbage collection to
release memory.
