Viking’s solid state drives are available in Enterprise and Client versions:
Enterprise SSD – An Enterprise SSD contains hardware and firmware that
detect and manage power failures. This allows the drive to flush the controller
cache and harden data to NAND flash. No data is lost or corrupted.
Client SSD – A Client SSD does not include power failure detection or
management features. MLC NAND, as opposed to SLC NAND, can become
corrupted if power is removed during a write, also known as lower page
corruption. Therefore, a Client SSD using MLC NAND is we ll-suited in a system
that already manages power fail events, allowing for graceful SSD shutdown.
Accordingly, system support should include issuing a Standby Immediate
command to the SSD while maintaining power for at least 50ms.
If a Client drive with MLC NAND is used in a system that does not manage power
failures and shutdowns, there is a small chance of data corruption. Viking Clie n t
SSD’s take sophisticated hardware and firmware measures to prevent or mitigate
such issues making the chance of corruption very small.
If the SSD controller detects data corruption, the drive will be locked. The only
way to recover the drive is to return it to the factory for reprogramming; all data
will be lost.

1.3 SATA Interface for VRFS1xGA, VRFS1xGJ
• The Serial ATA (SATA) interface is compliant with the SATA IO Serial
ATA specification, Revision 2.6 that supports SATA up to 3Gbps.
• The SATA interface connects the host computer to the SSD subsystem.
• The SATA interface runs at a maximum speed of 3 Gbps (Gigabits per
second). If the host computer is unable to negotiate a speed of 3 Gbps,
the SATA interface automatically renegotiates to a speed of 1.5 Gbps.
1.4 SATA Interface for VRFS1xGF, VR FS1 xGK, VRFS1xGM
• The Serial ATA (SATA) interface is com pliant with the SATA IO Serial
ATA specification, revision 3.x that support SATA up to 6 Gbps.
• The SATA interface connects the host computer to the SSD subsystem.
• The SATA interface runs at a maximum speed of 6.Gbps (Gigabits per
second). If the host computer is unable to negotiate a speed of 6 Gbps,
the SATA interface automatically renegotiates to a speed of 3 or 1.5 Gbps.
For a list of supported commands and other specifics, please see Chapter 5.

2.2 Performance
Maximum SSD performance can be achieved for certain workloads by:
• Initiating read and write transfers for random accesses with small block
sizes of 4k bytes to optimize IOP’s performance for applications such as
databases, OLTP etc.
• Initiating read and write transfers for sequential accesses with large blocks
(128k or larger) to optimize performance toward throughput (MBps) for
applications such as video streaming, data acquisition etc.
• Issuing transfers at starting LBA’s that align the access on 4k boundaries:
o Minimizes or eliminates internal Read-Modify-Write operations
o Align on 4k boundaries is optimal for SSD capacities up to 256 GB
o For SSD capacities greater than 256 GB, aligning on 8k boundaries
is optimal

3. Sector Rea d/Write latency measured up ton 4K block size (512B/sector = 1 Block), random access
4. Sequential IOPS cover the entire range of vali d logical block addresses (LBA’s). Measurements are
performed on a full drive (all LBA’s have valid content)
2.3.1 STANDBY IMMEDIATE Command
The Power On to Ready time assumes a proper shutdown (power removal
preceded by STANDBY IMMEDIATE command. A STANDBY IMMEDIATE
before power down always performs a graceful shutdown and does not require
the use of the hold-up circuit. Note that SMART attribute 174 "Unexpected Power
Loss" records the number of non-graceful power cycle events.
The timings for when a STANDBY IMMEDIATE is issued to when it is completed
are shown in the table below.
