1. Product Description
1.1 Introduction
Apacer’s Serial ATA Flash Drive AS203 is a solid-state disk (SSD) drive that contains a controller, embedded
firmware, and flash media along with a male connector. Using NAND flash memory devices, AS203 drive
interfaces with the host allowing data to be seamlessly transferred between the host and the flash devices.
AS203 is designed with a single-chip controller, offering capacities of up to 256 gigabytes and providing full
support for the SATA II high-speed interface standard. It can operate at sustained access rates of up to 250
megabytes per second.
In addition to buffer management through dynamical allocation, AS203 adopts the Apacer-specific superior
wear-leveling scheme to allow uniform use of all storage blocks, ensuring that the lifetime of a flash media can
be significantly increased and the disk performance is optimized as well.
1.2 Functional Block Diagram
AS203 drive includes a single-chip SATA II Controller and the flash media, as well as the SATA standard
interface. The controller integrates the flash management unit with the controller itself to support multi-channel,
multi-bank flash arrays. Figure 1-1 shows the functional block diagram.

2. Flash Management
2.1 Error Correction/Detection
AS203 implements a hardware ECC scheme, based on the algorithm, to achieve 48 bit correction per 2KB
page.
2.2 Bad Block Management
Although bad blocks on the flash media are already identified by the flash manufacturer, they can also be
accumulated over time during operation AS203’s controller maintains a table that lists those normal blocks
with disk data, the free blocks for wear leveling, and bad blocks with errors. When a normal block is detected
broken, it is replaced with a free block and listed as a bad block. When a free block is detected broken, it is
then removed from the free block list and marked as a bad block.
During device operation, this ensures that newly accumulated bad blocks are transparent to the host. The
device will stop file write service once there are only two free blocks left such that the read function is still
available for copying the files from the disk into another.
2.3 Wear Leveling
The NAND flash devices are limited by a certain number of write cycles. When using a FAT-based file system,
frequent FAT table updates are required. If some area on the flash wears out faster than others, it would
significantly reduce the lifetime of the whole SSD, even if the erase counts of others are far from the write
cycle limit. Thus, if the write cycles can be distributed evenly across the media, the lifetime of the media can
be prolonged significantly. This scheme is called wear leveling.
Apacer’s wear-leveling scheme is achieved both via buffer management and Apacer-specific superior wear
leveling to ensure the lifetime of the flash media can be increased and the disk access performance is
optimized as well.
2.4 S.M.A.R.T.
S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym for Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, an open standard allowing
disk drives to automatically monitor their own health and report potential problems. It protects the user from
unscheduled downtime by monitoring and storing critical drive performance and calibration parameters. Ideally,
this should allow taking proactive actions to prevent impending drive failure.
Apacer AS203 uses the standard SMART command B0h to read data from the drive for SMART feature as
the SATA Rev.2.6 ATA/ATAPI-7 specifications are based on the SFF-8035i Rev. 2.0 specifications.

2.5 TRIM
Made of millions of NAND flash cells, SSD can be written into groups called pages in 4K size generally, but
can only be erased in larger groups called blocks of 128 pages or 512KB. These stipulations are partially the
source of many performance issues. Until an address gets used again, the SSD has to keep track of every
last bit of data that’s written on it. The ATA-TRIM instruction tilts the balance in favor of the SSD. TRIM
addresses a major part of the performance degradation issue over time that plagues all SSDs. A TRIM
enabled drive running an OS with TRIM support will stay closer to its peak performance over time.

3.2 Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)
Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) is predicted based on reliability data for the individual components in
the SAFD drive. Although many component MTBFs are given in databases and often these values are not
really accurate, the prediction result for AS203 is more than 1,000,000 hours.
