[Table 8] UBER Specifications Parameter 16GB 32GB 64GB 128GB 256GB 512GB 1TB 10-15 UBER Note: 1) Uncorrectable Bit Error Rate (UBER) is a metric for the rate of occurrence of data errors, equal to the number of data errors per bits read as specified in the JESD218 document of JEDEC standard. For the client application, JEDEC recommends that UBER -15 shall be below 10 .

Note: 1) For mSATA SSD, these pins are connected to GND internally. 2) Device Activity Signal / Disable Staggered Spin-up 3) Device Sleep is an input pin. If driven high, the host is informing the SSD to enter a low power state. 4) NC means the SSD does not connect to these pins internally.
5. Block Diagram and Function Explanations 5.1 Block Diagram 5.2 Function Explanations 5.2.1 Global Wear Leveling Function Global wear leveling ensures that every block has an even erase count. This helps to extend the life expectancy of an SSD. There are three main processes in global wear leveling: (1) Record the block erase count and save this in the wear-leveling table. (2) Find the static-block and save this in the wear-leveling pointer.
the controller monitors the error bit levels at each read operation. When it reaches the preset threshold value, the controller automatically performs data refresh to “restore” the correct charge levels in the cell. This implementation practically restores the data to its original, error-free state, and hence lengthening data life. 5.2.
through the host. The encryption key is also stored on the device (commonly AES is utilized). (1) Features boot authentication: When the user starts the device, the shadow MBR will conduct a pre-boot identification; where the user is cleared, the normal boot process will begin and connections to the devices are to be made. (2) Sector specific permissions: The device manager may create a logical block address (LBA) range and assign different permissions for each LBA range.
6. Technology Term Explanations 6.1 TBW Terabytes Written (TBW) directly measures how much you can write cumulatively into the drive over its lifetime. Essentially, it just includes the multiplication conducted above in the measurement itself. For example, if your drive is rated for 365 TBW, that means you can write 365 TB into it before a replacement is required. If its warranty period is 5 years, that works out to 365 TB ÷ (5 years × 365 days/year) = 200 GB of writes per day.
7. Installation Requirements 7.1 Card Insertion Angles insertion is allowable and preferred; the intention is to minimize the insertion/extraction force. Minimum of angle of insertion is 5° Minimum two step insertion is desirable; the intention is to minimize the insertion/extraction force.
