1. Introduction
1.1 General Description
SK hynix SATA Solid State Drive (SSD) is the highest level of SSD performance. SK hynix SATA SSD is the best suited
NAND storage solution for products such as Server and Storage or any other products that requires fast speed, low cost,
and power saving features. SATA SSD provides more robust and cost effective storage solution for embedded application.
Offering standard ATA interface, which is fully compatible with traditional HDD, SSD offers the designer an easy solution
to implement in PC-based systems.
The SK hynix SATA SSDs utilize a cost effective System on a Chip (SOC) design to manage a full SATA6 Gb/s bandwidth
with the host while managing multiple flash memory devices on multiple channels internally.

Unrecoverable Data Error
1 error in 1015 bits transferred
Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)
1,200,000hr
Notes 1) Unrecoverable Data Error : The unrecoverable Data Error rate will not exceed one sector in the specified number of bits read. In the extremely
unlikely event of a unrecoverable Data Error, the drive will report it as a read failure to the host; the sector in error is considered corrupt and is
not returned to host
2) MTBF : Calculated based on a part stress analysis. It assumes nominal voltages, with all other parameters Within specified range.

6. Security
6.1 Default setting
The Flash SSD is shipped with master password set to 20h value (ASCII blanks) and the lock function disabled. The system manufacturer/dealer may set a new master password by using the SECURITY SET PASSWORD command, without enabling the lock function.
6.2 Initial setting of the user password
When a user password is set, the drive automatically enters lock mode by the next powered-on.
6.3 SECURITY mode operation from power-on
In locked mode, the Flash SSD rejects media access commands until a SECURITY UNLOCK command is successfully completed.

6.4 Password lost
If the user password is lost and High level security is set, the drive does not allow the user to access any data. However,
the drive can be unlocked using the master password.
If the user password is lost and Maximum security level is set, it is impossible to access data. However, the drive can be
unlocked using the ERASE UNIT command with the master password. The drive will erase all user data and unlock the
drive.
7. Identify Device Data
The SK hynix SSD responds to the ATA IDENTY DEVICE command with a pre-defined string of information on features,
hard
