General Description
The MACH2 2.5-inch Serial ATA (SATA) Solid State Drive (SSD) is non-volatile mass storage device.
The drive is intended as a replacement for a standard ATA-compliant hard disk drive (HDD). The
drive can be configured as a boot or data storage device. The drive is Plug and Play (PnP)
compatible; no additional device drivers are required to install the drive. The SSD is recognized by
PnP-compatible operating systems and PnP-aware BIOS.
SATA Interface
The SSD can be installed in any operating system environment that supports SATA 1.0 or greater
devices. The drive is compliant with SATA 2 standards and SSD supports all ATA and ATAPI devices.
The SSD has a fully compliant ATA/ATAPI-8 Serial ATA interface and conforms to the same
mechanical and mounting requirements as a standard rotating disk drive.
Drive Capacities
The SSD is available in unformatted memory capacities of 4, 8, 16 and 32 gigabytes. The memory
subsystem consists of Single-Level Cell (SLC) NAND flash components.
Performance
The SSD can operate at sustained data transfer rates of up to 35 megabytes per second. Power
consumption is kept to a minimum; the SSD can be powered from a single 5-volt source. The solid
state design eliminates electromechanical noise and delay inherent in traditional magnetic rotating
media. The wear-leveling and bad-block mapping algorithms ensure data integrity; the embedded
Error Detection and Error Correction Code (EDC/ECC) ensures data reliability.
