Manual  
Slim SATA is a non-volatile, solid-state storage device. With its Serial  
ATA interface and Slim SATA (MO-297) form factor, it is a drop in  
replacement for hard disk drives. Slim SATA delivers extremely high  
levels of performance, reliability and ruggedness for I/O intensive or  
environmentally challenging applications.

Industrial SSD – Viking’s Industrial SSD contains sophisticated provisions to  
protect firmware and data from corruption due to unexpected power loss.  
However, a 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.

1.3 SATA Interface  
The Serial ATA (SATA) interface is compliant with the SATA IO Serial  
ATA specification, revision 2.6 that supports SATA up to 3Gb/s.  
The SATA interface connects the host computer to the SSD subsystem.  
The SATA interface runs at a maximum speed of 3.0Gbps (Giga-bits per  
second). If the host computer is unable to negotiate a speed of 3.0Gbps,  
the SATA interface automatically renegotiates to a speed of 1.5Gbps.  
For a list of supported commands and other specifics, please see Chapter 5.

2.2.1 STANDBY IMMEDIATE Command  
The Power-On-to-Ready time assumes a proper shutdown (power removal  
preceded by STANDBY IMMEDIATE command. A STANDBY IMMEDIATE  
before power down always performs a graceful shutdown and does not require  
the use of the hold-up circuit. Note that SMART attribute 174 "Unexpected Power  
Loss" records the number of non-graceful power cycle events.

2.6 Data Security  
Viking’s Slim SATA SSD’s are self-encrypting drives (SED), with a bulk data  
encryption feature that provides automatic hardware-based data security and  
enhanced secure erase capability.  
A self-encrypting drive, scrambles data using a data encryption key as it is  
written to the drive and then descrambles it with the key as it is retrieved. This  
gives the user the highest level of data protection available and provides a fast  
erase simply by deleting the encryption key, eliminating the need for time  
consuming data-overwrite. Data on the drive is instantly rendered unreadable.  
The Slim SATA SSD supports AES-128 encryption, AES-256 encryption and  
ATA Secure Erase features to protect sensitive data. The drive is also available  
with TCG security enhancements.

4.3 Hot Plug Support  
Hot Plug insertion and removal are supported in the presence of a proper  
connector and appropriate operating system (OS) support as described in the  
SATA 2.6 specification. This product supports Asynchronous Signal Recovery  
and will issue an unsolicited COMINIT when first mated with a powered  
connector to guarantee reliable detection by a host system without hardware  
device detection.

5.1.1 S.M.A.R.T. 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  
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

Notes:  
Formula:  
Fla4 = Total Erase Count / disk Total Blocks (average Erase Count  
Fla6 = (100 * (D- Total Bad Block Count) / (D-E)) Max = 100, Min = 1  
Fla7 = 100*((Max Erase Count- F1a4)/Flash PE Cycle (MLC 3000, SLC 10000))  
Fla8 = (100*(A-C))/A (Note) Min = 1  
Fla9 = 100- (100*(F1a4/ Flash PE Cycle (MLC 3000, SLC 10000)  
Fla10 = (100*G)/F Max = 100, Min = 1

5.1.2.2 Off-line Mode  
SSD’s support the optional 28-bit S.M.A.R.T. 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.

5.2 SATA Commands  
The SATA 2.6 specification is a super set of the ATA/ATAPI-7 specification with  
regard to supported commands. SSD’s support the following features that are  
unique to the SATA specification.  
5.2.1 Native Command Queuing (NCQ)  
SSD’s support the Native Command Queuing (NCQ) command set, which  
consists of  
READ FPDMA QUEUED  
WRITE FPDMA QUEUED  
Note: With a maximum queue depth less than or equal to 32.
