2.11 Assembly Weight
An Innodisk2.5” SATA SSD 3MG-P within MLC flash ICs, 16GB’s weight is 100 grams approx. The
total weight of SSD will be less than 105 grams.
2.12 Seek Time
Innodisk 2.5” SATA SSD 3MG-P is not a magnetic rotating design. There is no seek or rotational
latency required.
2.13 Hot Plug
The SSD support hot plug function and can be removed or plugged-in during operation. User has
to avoid hot plugging the SSD which is configured as boot device and installed operation system.
Surprise hot plug : The insertion of a SATA device into a backplane (combine signal and power)
that has power present. The device powers up and initiates an OOB
sequence.
Surprise hot removal: The removal of a SATA device from a powered backplane, without first being
placed in a quiescent state.
2.14 NAND Flash Memory
Innodisk 2.5” SATA SSD 3MG-P uses Multi Level Cell (MLC) NAND flash memory, which is
non-volatility, high reliability and high speed memory storage.

3. Theory of Operation
3.1 Overview
Figure 2 shows the operation of Innodisk 2.5” SATA SSD 3MG-P from the system level, including
the major hardware blocks.
Figure 2: Innodisk FiD 2.5” SATA SSD 3MG-P Block Diagram
Innodisk 2.5” SATA SSD 3MG-P integrates a SATA III controller and NAND flash memories.
Communication with the host occurs through the host interface, using the standard ATA protocol.
Communication with the flash device(s) occurs through the flash interface.
3.2 SATA III Controller
Innodisk 2.5” SATA SSD 3MG-P is designed with ID 167, a SATA III 6.0Gbps (Gen. 3) controller,
which supports external DDDR3 DRAM. The Serial ATA physical, link and transport layers are
compliant with Serial ATA Gen 1, Gen 2 and Gen 3 specification (Gen 3 supports
1.5Gbps/3.0Gbps/6.0Gbps data rate). The controller has 4 channels for flash interface.

2.5” SATA SSD 3MG-P
16 Rev. 2.0 TPS, Sep., 2014
3.3 Error Detection and Correction
Highly sophisticated Error Correction Code algorithms are implemented. The ECC unit consists of
the Parity Unit (parity-byte generation) and the Syndrome Unit (syndrome-byte computation).
This unit implements an algorithm that can correct 40 bits per 1024 bytes in an ECC block.
Code-byte generation during write operations, as well as error detection during read operation, is
implemented on the fly without any speed penalties.
3.4 Wear-Leveling
Flash memory can be erased within a limited number of times. This number is called the erase
cycle limit or write endurance limit and is defined by the flash array vendor. The erase cycle
limit applies to each individual erase block in the flash device.
Innodisk 2.5” SATA SSD 3MG-P uses a static wear-leveling algorithm to ensure that consecutive
writes of a specific sector are not written physically to the same page/block in the flash. This
spreads flash media usage evenly across all pages, thereby extending flash lifetime.
3.5 Bad Blocks Management
Bad Blocks are blocks that contain one or more invalid bits whose reliability are not guaranteed.
The Bad Blocks may be presented while the SSD is shipped, or may develop during the life time of
the SSD. When the Bad Blocks is detected, it will be flagged, and not be used anymore. The SSD
implement Bad Blocks management, Bad Blocks replacement, Error Correct Code to avoid data
error occurred. The functions will be enabled automatically to transfer data from Bad Blocks to
spare blocks, and correct error bit.
3.6 Power Cycling
Innodisk’s power cycling management is a comprehensive data protection mechanism that
functions before and after a sudden power outage to SSD. Low-power detection terminates data
writing before an abnormal power-off, while table-remapping after power-on deletes corrupt data
and maintains data integrity. Innodisk’s power cycling provides effective power cycling
management, preventing data stored in flash from degrading with use.
3.7 Garbage Collection/TRIM
Garbage collection and TRIM technology is used to maintain data consistency and perform
continual data cleansing on SSDs. It runs as a background process, freeing up valuable controller
resources while sorting good data into available blocks, and deleting bad blocks. It also
significantly reduces write operations to the drive, thereby increasing the SSD’s speed and
lifespan.

17 Rev. 2.0 TPS, Sep., 2014
3.8 iCell Technology (Optional)
iCell technology is designed to provide power buffering after host power off. The SSD controller
can write all DRAM buffer data to flash, so SSD can ensure all data to be written into disk without
any data loss.
* iCell is optional feature with different part number.

4.2 Electrical Connections for 2.5” SATA SSD 3MG-P
A Serial ATA device may be either directly connected to a host or connected to a host through a
cable. For connection via cable, the cable should be no longer than 1meter. The SATA interface has
a separate connector for the power supply. Please refer to the pin description for further details.
4.3 Form Factor
Please prepare following things:
Screw driver.
Four M3 screws.
SATA single cable (7-pin, Maximum length l meter).
SATA power cable (15-pin).
Please turn off your computer, and open your computer’s case. Find one of available 2.5-inch slot,
and plug the SSD in. To use the screws fix the SSD. Plug in the SATA single cable, and power cable.
Please boot the installation Operation System from CD-ROM, and install Operation System into
SSD.
