www.vikingtechnology.com Client/Industrial SSD’s – Viking’s Client/Industrial SSD contains sophisticated provisions to protect firmware and data from corruption due to unexpected power loss. However, an 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.

www.vikingtechnology.com 1.3 SATA Interface  The Serial ATA (SATA) interface is compliant with the SATA IO Serial ATA specification, revision 3.0 that supports SATA up to 6Gb/s.  The SATA interface connects the host computer to the SSD subsystem.  The SATA interface runs at a maximum speed of 6 Gbps (Giga-bits 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 Gbps or 1.5 Gbps. For a list of supported commands and other specifics, please see Chapter 5.

Support Data storage drives capture a variety of information during operation that may be used to analyze drive ―health. SATA drives provide Self-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 manufacturers 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 for 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 supported

www.vikingtechnology.com 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 references for topics and details not addressed here.

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. Table 5-6: Supported S.M.A.R.T.
