www.seagate.com 6. Feature Details 6.1 Flash Management 6.1.1 Error Correction Code (ECC) Flash memory cells will deteriorate with use, which might generate random bit errors in the stored data. Thus, FireCuda 520 SSD applies the fourth generation LDPC(Low Density Parity Check) of ECC algorithm, which can detect and correct errors that occur during read process, ensure data has been read correctly, as well as protect data from corruption. 6.1.
www.seagate.com 6.1.6 Over Provisioning Over Provisioning refers to the inclusion of extra NAND capacity in a SSD, which is not visible and cannot be used by users. With Over Provisioning, the performance and IOPS (Input/output Operations per Second) are improved by providing the controller additional space to manage P/E cycles, which enhances the reliability and endurance as well. Moreover, the write amplification of the SSD becomes lower when the controller writes data to the flash. 6.1.
www.seagate.com 6.2 Advanced Device Security Features 6.2.1 NVMe format Secure Erase is a standard NVMe format command and it writes all “0xFF” to fully wipe all the data on the SSDs. When this command is issued, the SSD controller erases its storage blocks and returns the drive to its factory default settings. 6.2.
www.seagate.com 6.3 SSD Lifetime Management 6.3.1 Total Bytes Written (TBW) TBW (Terabytes Written) is a measurement of the SSDs’ expected lifespan, which represents the amount of data written to the device. To calculate the TBW of a SSD, the following equation is applied: TBW = [(NAND Endurance) x (SSD Capacity)] / WAF NAND Endurance: NAND endurance refers to the P/E (Program/Erase) cycle of a NAND flash. SSD Capacity: The SSD capacity is the specific capacity in total of a SSD.
www.seagate.com 6.4 An Adaptive Approach to Performance Tuning 6.4.1 Throughput Based on the available space of the disk, the drive will regulate the read/write speed and manage the performance of throughput. When there still remains a lot of space, the firmware will continuously perform read/write action. There is still no need to implement garbage collection to allocate and release memory, which will accelerate the read/write processing to improve the performance.
