Write Access Mean Time Before Failure
The PC-SDD Vseries accesses the same sector when overwriting a file.
If a write error occurs, a substitute sector is used (290 substitute sectors
are provided).
Accordingly, the mean time before failure for write access is the time
until all of the substitute sectors are used up.
The calculation formula is different depending on whether the size of
the file being written to is less than or greater than 32MB.
(i) Size of file being written to is less than 32MB
(ii) Size of file being written to is 32MB or more
Example 1:
All 9.6MB of a 9.6MB file is overwritten once every 5 minutes
This corresponds to case (i).
Average number of writes before failure [No. of accesses]
= 11,815,225
Number of writes per hour [Writes/Hour]
= 12 (Once every 5 minutes)
Mean time before failure for write access [Hours] = 11,815,225/12 =
984,602 (= 112 years approx.)

Example 2:
All 40MB of a 40MB file is overwritten once every 5 minutes
This corresponds to case (ii)
Average number of writes before failure [No. of accesses]
= 4,325,538
Number of writes per hour [No. of accesses/Hour]
= 12 (Once every 5 minutes)
Mean time before failure for write access [Hours] = 4,325,538/12
= 360,461 (= 41 years approx.)
Example 3:
Number of swaps per hour and swap interval that will give a mean time before
failure of 10 years (87,600 hours), when the swap size is 32MB or more
This corresponds to case (ii)
Number of swaps per hour [No. of accesses/Hour]
= 4,325,538/87,600 = 49.3
Swap interval [Minutes/Swap] = 60/49.3= 1.21
Accordingly, if the measured swap interval is 1.21 minutes or more, the
mean time before failure will be 10 years or longer.

You cannot disable the Disk Cache (Reference) *1
Note that the specification of this product dictates that the Disk Cache
cannot be Disabled. (*2)
This is because this product's cache is used as a buffer for writing to the
flash as opposed to the specifications of the general hard disk drive
cache capability.
Data sent from the IDE interface are buffered into this cache and those
buffered data are subsequently written into the designated sectors, so
you cannot disable this product's cache.
*1 In the normal mode of operation, you do not need to take care of
this feature.
*2 Hard disk drives are usually provided with the cache to avoid the
overhead on the host side when writing to the disk. This cache can
be made disabled using the Mode Select command while this
product cannot be used with the cache disabled because of the
above reason.
