1. Introduction
1.1 General Description
The SanDisk® SSD P4 builds on the momentum of the first and second generations
of pSSD and the overall trend in the market towards smaller, thinner computing
machines that e nabl e mobility and connectivity on the go.
Using NAND flash based storage to replace Hard Disk Drives, SSD P4 provides a
much improved user experience. In addition to being rugged and reliable, the third
generation modular SSD beats HDDs in every possible metric power cons umption,
sequential and random read performances as well as sequential and random write
performances. The SATA interface aligns with the global transition in the industry,
which is enforced by the platform’s chipsets.
Using the advanced 32nm memory geometry provides for a low cost product which
beats the HDDs price in the capacity ranges of 4GB-32GB and provides a very
competitive product at capacities of 64GB and 128GB. In addition, the small form
factor enables further miniaturization of Netbooks, SmartBooks and Tablets
desi gns and opens doors for a whole range of other applications.
The SSD P4 product electrically complies with the SATA-II v er. 2.6 standards and i s
electrically compatible with a serial ATA disk drive.
In addition to the mass storage-specific NAND flash memory chips, th e SSD includes
an on-boa rd int elligent cont roller for ma naging i nterf ace pr otocols , data s tora ge and
retrieval, error-correcting code (ECC), defect handling and diagnostics, advance
power management and clock control. Using innovative data management
algorithms, the SSD P4 provides superior sequential and random IO performance,
and ensures data rel iability.

Unlike an HDD, the SSD P4 has no moving parts. It keeps working in environments
such as classrooms, kiosks and in space-restricted server racks. The patented flash
management technology brings top data integrity to the SSD, even during power
losses. Dynamic bad block management, dynamic and static wear-leveling, and
robust error detection and correction code (EDC/ECC) ensure data integrity.
Once the SSD has been configured by the host, it appears to the host as a standard
ATA (IDE) disk drive.

1.3 Functional Description
SSD P4 contains a high level, intelligent subsystem. This intelligent (microprocessor)
subsystem provides many capabilities not found in other types of memory cards.
These ca p a bili ties include t he following:
Standard ATA register and command set
Supp o rt fo r Trim command
S.M.A.R.T. feature supported
Hos t independ en ce from det a ils of erasing and prog rammin g fla sh memory
Sophisticated system for managing defects (similar to systems found in
magnetic disk drives)
Sophisticated system for error recovery including a powerful error correction
code (ECC)
Advanced power m ana gement for low power opera tion
Implementation of dynamic and static wear-le veling to ex tend ca r d s li f e
1.4 Defect and Error Management
SSD P4 contains a sophisticated defect and error management system that is similar
to the systems found in magnetic disk drives, and in many cases, offers
enhancements. If necessary, the SSD card will rewrite data from a defective sector
to a good sector. This action is completely transparent to the host and does not
consume any user data space.
The SSD soft error rate specification is much better than the magnetic disk drive
specification. In the extremely rare case that a read error does occur, the SSD P4
products have innovative algorithms to recover the data by using error detection
code and error correction code (EDC/ECC). These defect and error management
systems, coupled with the solid state construction, give SSD P4 unparalleled
reliability.
1.5 Wear Leveling
Wear leveling is an intrinsic part of the erase pooling functionality of SSDs using
NAND memory. Advanced features of dynamic and static wear-leveling, and
automatic block management are used to ensure an even distribution of write erase
cycle throughout the entire device, regardless of how dynamic or static the data
written is. This guarantees high data reliability and maximizes flash life expect ancy.
1.6 Bad Block Management
Bad blocks are occasionally created during the life cycle of a flash component, in a
phenomenon called dynamic bad-block accumulation. These bad blocks must be
marked and replaced dynamically in order to prevent read/write f ailures. When a bad
block is detected, the embedded Bad Block Mapping algorithm maps out the block,
wh ich wi ll be not used for storag e any more.

1.7 Non-Volatile Write Cache
The third generation of modular SSD, the SSD P4 supports a unique feature to
improve random write performance and ensure very positive user experience.
Studies show that modern operating systems mostly access the storage device using
small access bl ocks, wi th the majority being a 4KB access blocks.
The small logical access blocks conflict with the physical block structure (>1MB) for
the newer generation flash memory technology. Therefore, to bridge this difference,
SSD P4 employs a non-volatile SLC Flash write cache, nCacheTM
. The nCache™ is
used to accumulate these small writes (called segments) at high speed and then
flush & consolidate them to larger MLC section of the NAND Flash memory array in
the background during idle time.

The cache size of the SSD P4 is over 500MB4
Also nCache™ is a non-vo latile ca che and he n c e the re is no e xp o sure to data lo ss
- an order of magnitude larger than
other competing solutions that use DRAM based cache. Due to its large size, for most
part of daily user activity nCache™ never overflows and the end users experience
high SLC burst performance rather than the sustained performance. Once the
nCache™ becomes full, the performance of SSD P4 drops to the steady state
condition. 5
1.8 Power Management
.
SSD P4 supports an advanced power management system that includes both Host
Initiated Power Management (HIPM) and Device Initiated Power Management
(DIPM).
Upon completion of a command, the SSD will ask the host to enter into Slumber
Mode to conserve power if no further commands are received within 20msec. By
directly entering Slumber mode and skipping partial mode will minimize power
consumption. In order to further enhance the SSD performance, the flash
management can utilize the time when the card is idle for performing internal house-
keeping operations. Doing those activities, i.e. freeing up space in the nCache,
while the card is idle will not increase overall power consumption, since these
operations will have to be executed eventually. Executing them during idle time will
prevent stalling the host while they are taking place and will enable a better
utilization of the Data Cache, as it will have additional free space when the host will
4 The cache size scales with ca pacity . Fo r 3 2GB p r oduct th e cach e si ze is o v er 500M B .
5 In order to prevent any data loss during removal of the power supp ly (with Host Write Cache disabled),
the time it tak e s the in p ut v oltag e to d rop f rom the n ominal v oltag e d own to 2V must b e at le ast 5ms.

access the device. These operations are executed internally, while the card is
indi cating status ready to the host. At the moment a new command i s received from
the host the internal operations will be terminated and the host command will be
serviced with minimal delay. If n o comman d is received the execution of the h ouse-
keeping activities will be limited to 30 secon ds, to preserve power consumption.

6. Reliability Characteristics
6.1 Error Rate
Non-recoverable error rate is 1 error per 1014
6.2 MTTF (Mean-Time-To-Failure)
bits read .
The rel iability figure of merit most often used for electronic equipment is Mean-Time-
To-Failure (MTTF). San Disk estimates MTTF using a prediction methodology base d in
accordance with the Telcordia Special Report SR-332. The prediction is based on a
Parts Stress An alysis.
Quality levels were defined as industrial grade (I) for all of the components. The
detailed prediction for the system was performed at a temperature of 25°C in a GB
environment.
The following table sum marize s the estimated M TTF re su lts fo r each capacity.
