Manual
Slim SATA is a non-volatile, solid-state storage device. With its Serial
ATA interface and Slim SATA (MO-297) form factor, it is a drop in
replacement for hard disk drives. Slim SATA delivers extremely high
levels of performance, reliability and ruggedness for I/O intensive or
environmentally challenging applications.

Industrial SSD – Viking’s Industrial SSD contains sophisticated provisio ns to
protect firmware and data from corruption due to unexpected power loss.
However, a Industrial SSD by industry definition does not contain on-board
capacitance. Should power fail unexpectedly, “in-flight” write data may be lost .
Industrial SSD’s are best used in designs that manage power fail events at the
system level.

1.3 SATA Interface
• The Serial ATA (SATA) interface is com pliant with the SATA IO Serial
ATA specification, revision 2.6 that supports SATA up to 3Gb/s.
• The SATA interface connects the host computer to the SSD subsystem.
• The SATA interface runs at a maximum speed of 3.0Gbps (Giga-bits per
second). If the host computer is unable to negotiate a speed of 3.0Gbps,
the SATA interface automatically renegotiates to a speed of 1.5Gbps.
For a list of supported commands and other specifics, please see Chapter 5.

2.6 Data Security
Viking’s Slim SATA SSD’s are self-encrypting drives ( SED), with a bulk data
encryption feature that provides automatic hardware-based data security and
enhanced secure erase capability.
A self-encrypting drive, scrambles data using a data encryption key as it is
written to the drive and then descrambles it with the key as it is retrieved. This
gives the user the highest level of data protection available and provides a fast
erase simply by deleting the encryption key, eliminating the need for time
consuming data-overwrite. Data on the drive is instantly rendered unreadable.
The Slim SATA SSD supports AES-128 encryption, AES-256 encryption and
ATA Secure Erase features to protect sensitive data. The drive is also available
with TCG security enhancements.

4.3 Hot Plug Support
Hot Plug insertion and removal are supported in the presence of a proper
connector and appropriate operating system (OS) support as described in the
SATA 2.6 specification. This product supports Asynchronous Signal Recovery
and will issue an unsolicited COMINIT when first mated with a powered
connector to guarantee reliable detection by a host system without hardware
device detection.

5.1.1 S.M.A.R.T. Support
Data storage drives capture a variety of information during operation that may be
used to analyze drive ―health. SATA drives provide Se lf-Monitoring, Analysis
and Reporting Technology (SMART) features that include monitoring and storing
critical performance and calibration parameters to attempt to predict the
likelihood of near-term degradation or fault conditions. Drive manuf acturers have
adopted S.M.A.R.T. to help warn system software, a system administrator, or a
user of impending drive failure, while time remains to take preventive action.
It provides the host system with the knowledge of a negative reliability condition
to allow the host system to warn the user of the impending risk of data loss and
advise the user of the appropriate action.
The technical documentation for S.M.A.R.T. is captured in the AT Attachment
(ATA) standard. The standard defines the protocols for reporting errors and f or
invoking self-tests to collect and analyze data on demand. The ATA specification
is flexible and provides for individual manufacturers to define their own unique
vendor specific information. This section describes the baseline suppor t ed
S.M.A.R.T. command attributes. The information herein should be used in
conjunction with the ATA standard and related documents, which may serve as

5.1.2.2 Off-line Mode
SSD’s support the optional 28-bit S.M.A.R.T. EXECUTION OFF-LINE
IMMEDIATE (B0h/D4h) command per the ATA-8 specification. This command
causes the SSD to initiate the collection of S.M.A.R.T. data in an off-line mode
and then preserves this data across power and reset events. Supported
subcommands include those shown in the table below. Reference the ATA-8
specification for subcommand detail.

5.2 SATA Commands
The SATA 2.6 specification is a super set of the ATA/ATAPI-7 specification with
regard to supported commands. SSD’s support the following features that are
unique to the SATA specification.
5.2.1 Native Command Queuing (NCQ)
SSD’s support the Native Command Queuing (NCQ) command set, which
consists of
• READ FPDMA QUEUED
• WRITE FPDMA QUEUED
Note: With a maximum queue depth less than or equal to 32.
