The amp Inc Slim SATA (MO297A) SSD is a flash based disk solid state external hard drive with SATA 2.6 interface. It provides fast read and write speeds, high reliability and its data protection make it an ideal storage solution for the server and mobile environment. It is built with Single Level Cell (SLC) or Multi Level Cell (MLC) NAND Flash which is cost effective and provides exceptional reliability and performance. Due to its non mechanical nature, it has higher shock resistance and lower access time than traditional rotating hard disk drives. Built-in ECC and EDC ensuring error-free transactions for the most demanding applications.

Technology
DuraClass technology represents a set of NAND flash management features that work in tandem to deliver world class SSD reliability, performance and power efficiency that differentiate AMP Inc.’s SSD’s from competative solutions. Of particular importance is the use of processing elements to optimally overcome a number of the inherent issues associated with commodity NAND flash memory. Duraclass features includes:
- DuraWrite, which optimizes the number of program cycles to the flash effectively
extending flash rated endurance by 20x or more when compared to standard controllers.
- RAISE (Redundant Array of Independent Silicon Elements), which deliver an orders-of-magnitude improvement in drive reliability versus today’s best enterprise HDDs and SSDs. The result is single-drive RAID-like protection and recovery from potentially catastrophic flash block failures – all while avoiding the inefficiencies of traditional RAID
- Advanced Wear Leveling and Monitoring, Optimized wear leveling algorithms further
extending flash endurance.
- Advanced Read/Program Disturb Management, which safeguards against errant reprogramming of cells during read and program cycles.
- Recycler, which intelligently performs garbage collection with the least impact on flash endurance.

POWER SPECIFICATIONS |
The drive receives DC power (+5V) through the interface connector. |
CONDUCTED NOISE |
Input noise ripple is measured at the host system power supply across an equivalent 25-ohm resistive loading on the +5 volt line.
Using 5-volt power, the drive is expected to operate with a maximum of 100 mV peak-to-peak square-wave injected noise at up to 10 MHz.
Note: Equivalent resistance is calculated by dividing the nominal voltage by the typical RMS read/write current. |
