(HW and SW triggered, simple erase also in standard SSD)
Highly-integrated memory controller
o SLC NAND Flash
o Hardware BCH-code ECC (up to 40 Bit correction per 2 sectors)
o Fix drive configuration
Low-power CMOS technology
5.0V ± 10% power supply
Low Power, less than 1 W (idle) / 3.5 W (operation) / 0.7 W slumber average current
No mechanical noise
Wear Leveling: active wear leveling of static and dynamic data
The wear leveling assures that dynamic data as well as static data is balanced evenly across the
memory. With that the maximum write endurance of the device is guaranteed.
Mechanical robustness (MIL-STD810)
