Introduction 1.1 General Description The SanDisk(R) SSD U100 builds on the momentum of three generations of SSD P-Series and the overall trend in the market towards smaller, thinner computing machines that enable mobility, connectivity on the go and instant-on capability. Designed and built on the philosophy of providing improved user-experience at affordable cost, SanDisk SSD U100 is a perfect replacement for HDD in the consumer market. The SanDisk SSD U100 beats HDD in every possible metric - size, weight, shock and vibration tolerance, power consumption, sequential and random read performances as well as sequential and random write performances. The SanDisk SSD U100 houses a powerful SATA SSD controller that is fully compliant to SATA 6Gb/s (Revision 3.0) standards on the front-end. Matching the speed on the back-end side, the SSD controller is designed with 4 high-speed NAND Flash channels each operating at a maximum speed of 194MB/s. This allows the product to achieve superior performance up to 450MB/s and 350MB/s for sequential read and sequential write, respectively. It fulfills the market's ever increasing demand of seamless user-experience, improved multi-tasking capabilities and extreme responsiveness. The SATA interface aligns with the global transition in the industry, which is enforced by the platform's chipsets. Using the advanced 24nm memory geometry provides for a low-cost product which beats the HDD's price in the capacity ranges of 8GB-32GB and provides a very competitive product at capacities ranging 64GB to 256GB. The SanDisk SSD U100 is offered in many small form factors, allowing SanDisk to maintain its leadership in this market. The small form factor enables further miniaturization of Netbook, SmartBook and Tablet designs and opens doors for a whole range of other applications such as Ultrabooks (Ultrathin Notebooks). 8-bit Toggle Mode NAND Flash Array - 0 8-bit Toggle Mode SATA-III I/F (6Gbps) NAND Flash SSD Controller High speed NAND Flash Channels NAND Flash Array - 1 8-bit Toggle Mode NAND Flash Array - 2 8-bit Toggle Mode NAND Flash Array - 3 SanDisk SSD U100 Figure 1-1: SanDisk SSD U100 Block Diagram (c) 2011 SanDisk(R) Corporation 8 Document No. 80-11-XXXXX SanDisk SSD U100 Product Manual (Preliminary) Rev 0.90 The SanDisk SSD U100 employs a low power architecture that significantly reduces the power consumed by the device in low power modes - allowing the users' to extend the charge cycles of the battery - highly-desired by mobility applications. Built on the fundamentals of solid state technology, the SSD U100 has no moving parts, unlike an HDD, significantly improving the mechanical reliability of the device. The advanced flash management technology designed into the device firmware allows the SSD U100 to achieve superior sequential and random IO performance, and improves long-term data endurance (measure of device reliability) significantly. The device firmware also implements functions of Dynamic bad block management, dynamic and static wear-leveling, and robust error detection and correction code (EDC/ECC) to ensure data integrity. Once the SSD has been configured by the host, it appears to the host as a standard SATA disk drive.

(c) 2011 SanDisk(R) Corporation 11 Document No. 80-11-XXXXX SanDisk SSD U100 1.3 Product Manual (Preliminary) Rev 0.90 Functional Description The SSD U100 contains a high-level, intelligent storage subsystem. This intelligent (microcontroller) subsystem provides many capabilities not found in other types of memory devices. These capabilities include the following: Compliant to SATA 6Gb/s (Revision 3.0) standard Supports ATA register and command set (ATA-8 / ACS2 standard) Support for NCQ, up to queue depth = 32 Support for Trim command S.M.A.R.T. feature supported Advanced power management Implementation of dynamic and static wear-leveling to extend Sophisticated system for error recovery including a powerful error correction code (ECC) Host independence from details of erasing and programming flash memory Sophisticated system for managing defects (similar to systems found in magnetic disk drives) (c) 2011 SanDisk(R) Corporation 12 Document No. 80-11-XXXXX SanDisk SSD U100 1.4 1.4.1 Product Manual (Preliminary) Rev 0.90 Advanced Flash Management Non-Volatile Write Cache The fourth generation of modular SSD, the SSD U100 supports a unique feature to improve burst and sustained random write performance and ensure very positive user experience. Studies show that modern (client as well as mobile) operating systems (like Windows7, Windows Mobile, Android, ChromeOS) mostly access the storage device using small access blocks, with the majority being 4KB access blocks. nCache SATA-III Device Controller SATA-III Host Controller Page Based nCache Page Based nCache Page Based nCache Page Based SATA Host L1 Cache (SRAM) L2 Cache (NAND) 4 CH MLC NAND Flash Chunk Based MLC NAND Flash Chunk Based MLC NAND Flash Chunk Based MLC NAND Flash Chunk Based NAND Storage Figure 1-2: SanDisk SSD U100 nCacheTM technology These small logical access blocks conflict with the physical NAND block structure (>=2MB) for the newer generation flash memory technology. Therefore, to bridge this difference, the SSD U100 employs a non-volatile NAND Flash write cache called the nCacheTM. The nCacheTM is used to accumulate these small writes (called cache segments) at high-speed and then flush and consolidate them to a larger MLC section of the NAND Flash memory in the background during idle time. The cache size of the SSD U100 is over 500MB8 - an order of magnitude larger than other competing solutions that use DRAM based cache. Due to its large size, for most of the daily user activity, the nCacheTM never overflows and the user experiences high-burst performance rather than the sustained performance. Once the nCacheTM becomes full, the performance of SSD U100 drops to the steady state condition. 8 The cache size scales with capacity. For 128GB product, the cache size is over 2GB. (c) 2011 SanDisk(R) Corporation 13 Document No. 80-11-XXXXX SanDisk SSD U100 1.4.2 Product Manual (Preliminary) Rev 0.90 Defect and Error Management SSD U100 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 device will rewrite data from a defective block to a good block. 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 U100 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 U100 unparalleled reliability. 1.4.3 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 cycles throughout the entire device, regardless of how dynamic or static the data written is. This guarantees high data reliability and maximizes flash life expectancy. 1.4.4 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 failures. When a bad block is detected, the embedded Bad Block Mapping algorithm maps out the block, which will remove the block from future use. (c) 2011 SanDisk(R) Corporation 14 Document No. 80-11-XXXXX SanDisk SSD U100 1.5 Product Manual (Preliminary) Rev 0.90 Advanced Low Power Management The SanDisk SSD U100 employs advanced low power architecture that reduces power consumption in low power modes. In particular, the SSD U100 supports the following SATA low power modes: 1.5.1 Slumber SATA low power mode The SanDisk SSD U100 supports entering into Slumber SATA low power mode through DIPM (Device Initiated Power Management) as well as HIPM (Host Initiated Power Management). Upon completion of any command, in case of DIPM, the SSD will request the host to enter into Slumber power if there is no SATA bus activity for 20msec. 1.5.2 DEVLSP SATA low power mode The SSD U100 employs the newest DEVSLP SATA low power mode that further reduces device power consumption in the IDLE state - thereby extending the time between charging of a battery, which is highly-desired in mobility applications. The standard SATA low power modes, Partial and Slumber, need SATA OOB (Out of Band) commands to return to normal operation. The SATA PHY has to be partially powered up to respond to the OOB command sequence, resulting in high Slumber mode current. DEVSLP enables the device, and optionally the host, to completely shut-off their SATA PHY, resulting in much lower power consumption compared to Slumber SATA low power mode. 1.6 Background Garbage Collection Once the SATA PHY has entered into Slumber state, the flash management firmware can utilize the time the device is idle in order to perform internal house-keeping operations. These internal house-keeping activities include freeing up the space in the nCache by flushing and consolidating to the MLC storage. Performing internal house-keeping activities in background will significantly improve burst performance of the device, providing swift user experience and, at the same time, allowing for better utilization of the nCache. These operations are executed internally, while reporting device status READY to the host. Any time a new command is received from the host the internal operations will be terminated and the host command will be serviced with minimal delay. If no command is received by the device, the execution of the house-keeping activities will be limited to 30 seconds - designed to maintain low power consumption.

In order to allow an adequate power-performance tradeoff, the SanDisk SSD U100 supports three power classes as define in the table below. The operating Power Class is selected using user configurable or Operating System inputs. Power Class Unit Power Class I Power Class II Power Class III Maximum Active Power consumption mW 800 1200 2000 Table 1-1: SanDisk SSD U100 Power Classes 1.8 Performance Throttling In order to protect the integrity of the data and prevent excessive heat dissipation, the SSD U100 utilizes an on-board/on-chip thermal sensor to monitor the SSD's critical component junction temperature. If the temperature rises above the allowable limit, the performance will be reduced until the temperature decreases to an allowable level. This performance throttling technique acts as a safety measure as well as a means for achieving power class implementation described in the previous section.

To ensure this data is properly committed to flash memory, the U100 requires a Flush Cache command followed by a Standby Immediate command prior to power being removed. This command sequence allows the U100 to complete the programming of all data in its volatile data cache into flash memory, returning 'good' status to the host only after successful completion. This command sequence is handled transparently by most OS's during a standard shutdown sequence (e.g., hibernation, shutdown, standby, etc). However, it is possible that in some applications (e.g., embedded systems without a typical userinterface providing graceful power-down options), power to the U100 could be removed, without warning, precluding the possibility of a graceful shutdown. To assist in the protection against data loss, the U100 utilizes an internal voltage sensor to detect the loss of power. In combination with residual power (i.e., current) from the host, the U100 will use the voltage sensor trigger to stop any outstanding flash programming operation that may lead to data loss. Please refer to the "Unexpected Power Loss Considerations" white paper available from SanDisk, which provides specific details relating to this topic.
