1. General Description
Apacer’s ATA-Flash Drive (AFD) is a high-performance, solid state drive (SSD) designed to replace a
conventional IDE hard disk drive. AFD supports standard ATA/IDE protocol and can be plugged into a
standard IDE connector commonly found in desktop or portable PCs. It is more rugged, reliable and
power-efficient compared to the mechanical hard drive and is designed for use in rugged laptops, military
devices, thin clients, Point of Sale (POS) terminals, telecom, medical instruments, surveillance systems
and industrials PCs. Apacer AFD Series is the best instant replacement for high-maintenance HDD where
reliability is a major concern.
AFD includes a built-in microcontroller and file management firmware that communicates through with the
ATA standard interfaces. AFD is designed to work at 3.3 Volts, support the standard ATA/IDE protocol up
to PIO Mode-4, Multiword DMA Mode-2, and Ultra DMA Mode-6 interfaces, and use a standard ATA
driver that fits to most of the mainstream operating systems.
Featuring technologies as Advanced Wear-leveling algorithms, S.M.A.R.T, Power Failure Management,
and ATA Secure Erase, the AFD device assures users of security in storage applications.
2. Functional Block
The ATA-Flash Drive (AFD) includes the ATA controller and flash media, as well as the ATA standard
interface. Figure 2-1 shows the functional block diagram.

128 GB 128,035,676,160 16383 16 63 250,069,680
*Display of total bytes varies from file systems.
**Notes: 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes; 1 sector = 512 bytes.
LBA count addressed in the table above indicates total user storage capacity and will remain the same throughout the lifespan of the
device. However, the total usable capacity of the SSD is most likely to be less than the total physical capacity because a small
portion of the capacity is reserved for device maintenance usages.
