Client SSD’s –Viking’s client SSD contains sophisticated provisions to protect
firmware and data from corruption due to unexpected power loss. However,
should power fail unexpectedly, “in-flight” write data may be lost if the SSD power
is not managed at the system level for these power fail events.

1.3 SATA Interface
The Serial ATA (SATA) interface is compliant with the SATA IO Serial
ATA specification, revision 3.0 that supports SATA up to 6 Gbps.
The SATA interface connects the host computer to the SSD subsystem.
The SATA interface runs at a maximum speed of 6 Gbps (Giga-bits per
second). If the host computer is unable to negotiate a speed of 6 Gbps,
the SATA interface automatically renegotiates to a speed of 3 Gbps or 1.5
Gbps.
For a list of supported commands and other specifics, please see Chapter 5.
