Industrial SSD’s –Viking’s Industrial SSD contains sophisticated provisions to
protect firmware and data from corruption due to unexpected power loss.
However, an 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 3.0 that supports SATA up to 6Gb/s.
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.

2.3 Timing
2.3.1 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.
