Industrial SSD – Viking’s Industrial SSD contains sophisticated provisions to protect firmware and data from corruption due to unexpected power loss.

However, a 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 2.6 that supports SATA up to 3Gb/s.

• The SATA interface connects the host computer to the SSD subsystem.

• The SATA interface runs at a maximum speed of 3.0Gbps (Giga-bits per second). If the host computer is unable to negotiate a speed of 3.0Gbps, the SATA interface automatically renegotiates to a speed of 1.5Gbps.

For a list of supported commands and other specifics, please see Chapter 5.

2.2.1 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.

2.6 Data Security

Viking’s Slim SATA SSD’s are self-encrypting drives (SED), with a bulk data encryption feature that provides automatic hardware-based data security and enhanced secure erase capability.

A self-encrypting drive, scrambles data using a data encryption key as it is written to the drive and then descrambles it with the key as it is retrieved. This gives the user the highest level of data protection available and provides a fast erase simply by deleting the encryption key, eliminating the need for time consuming data-overwrite. Data on the drive is instantly rendered unreadable.

The Slim SATA SSD supports AES-128 encryption, AES-256 encryption and

ATA Secure Erase features to protect sensitive data. The drive is also available with TCG security enhancements.

4.3 Hot Plug Support

Hot Plug insertion and removal are supported in the presence of a proper connector and appropriate operating system (OS) support as described in the

SATA 2.6 specification. This product supports Asynchronous Signal Recovery and will issue an unsolicited COMINIT when first mated with a powered connector to guarantee reliable detection by a host system without hardware device detection.

5.1.1 S.M.A.R.T. Support

Data storage drives capture a variety of information during operation that may be used to analyze drive ―health. SATA drives provide Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) features that include monitoring and storing critical performance and calibration parameters to attempt to predict the likelihood of near-term degradation or fault conditions. Drive manufacturers have adopted S.M.A.R.T. to help warn system software, a system administrator, or a user of impending drive failure, while time remains to take preventive action.

It provides the host system with the knowledge of a negative reliability condition to allow the host system to warn the user of the impending risk of data loss and advise the user of the appropriate action.

The technical documentation for S.M.A.R.T. is captured in the AT Attachment

(ATA) standard. The standard defines the protocols for reporting errors and for invoking self-tests to collect and analyze data on demand. The ATA specification is flexible and provides for individual manufacturers to define their own unique vendor specific information. This section describes the baseline supported

S.M.A.R.T. command attributes. The information herein should be used in conjunction with the ATA standard and related documents, which may serve as

5.1.2.2 Off-line Mode

SSD’s support the optional 28-bit S.M.A.R.T. EXECUTION OFF-LINE

IMMEDIATE (B0h/D4h) command per the ATA-8 specification. This command causes the SSD to initiate the collection of S.M.A.R.T. data in an off-line mode and then preserves this data across power and reset events. Supported subcommands include those shown in the table below. Reference the ATA-8 specification for subcommand detail.
