Features
Backup Power Design *1
Comay Solid State Drive has an In-Drive UPS. The In-Drive UPS can keep working for four times
longer time than the SSD need to flush the cached data back to Nand Flash during any
unexpected host power spikes, dips or failures. It can greatly reduce the risk of data loss or even
become a dead “Brick”.
Optimization Toolbox
There is a useful optimization toolbox along with Comay SSDs. It can easily help you to monitor
the key factors of your SSDs. More importantly, it can help to optimize both of hardware and
software settings, for instance, AHCI mode, disk partition alignment, to reach the performance
limit of the SSD can deliver.
*1. Not for some Series like Venus; for more detailed information, see your SSD’s label.
Passed CR-E/CR-C Standardized Test*2
The Quality of Comay SSDs is fully guaranteed by CR-E or CR-C test. It is a extreme strict
standardized compound continues test, including a -40℃to +85℃test, a 10000 times
sleep-wake up test and a data burn-in test. It is much harder than common product and test
criterion. The standardized test can avoid mistakes made by human.
Overload Protection
SSDs always encounter unstable current due to variety of reasons such as power impulse, short
circuit, thunder, host power problems, hand touch, etc. With a sophisticated design, Comay SSDs
can switch off unstable power supply before damage is made to your SSDs. Since that, you can
keep both of your SSDs and your data safe.
*2. Test in Lab in the phase of R&D. Not every SSD needs to have such test. Meanwhile, the test is
destructive.

Formatting SSD Drive in WINDOWS
The Comay SATA SSD may come un-formatted. It is possible to format the drive under DOS using
the standard tools, or within the Windows environment under the My Computer/Drive letter tab
using a right mouse click and select the “format” option.
Optimization
To reach the best performance, you should set your SATA Control Mode to AHCI, and make sure
your partition is well aligned for 4KB offset. We strongly recommend you use the optimization
toolbox to handle it. It is easier and safer. However, you can do it manually.
1. AHCI mode settings
Make sure your motherboard supports AHCI Mode. If your motherboard has the ICH7 or
later chip set, or you can find the AHCI option in your bios, we can determine AHCI is supported.
2. Settings of AHCI
Refer to the User’s Manual of your system or device on how to set AHCI Mode. Or, enter
your bios, find “Integrated Peripherals”
Then find “On Chip SATA Type” or” SATA Control Mode” (the menu varies in name due to
different motherboard) and then the choose “AHCI”.
3. Once you have completed AHCI settings, reboot your system and prepare to format your SSD
drive.
4. Format your SSD drive under Windows 7, Windows 2008 R2. If you have no such environment,
please download the optimization tools from our website. It can easily handle it by mouse clicks.
