1. Introduction
1.1 General Description
The SanDisk® SSD U100 builds on the momentum of three generaons of SSD P-Series and the overall trend in the market towards smaller, thinner compung machines that enable mobility, connectivity on the go and instant-on capability.
Designed and built on the philosophy of providing improved user-experience at aordable cost, SanDisk SSD U100 is a perfect replacement for HDD in the consumer market. The SanDisk SSD U100 beats HDD in every possible metric – size, weight, shock and vibraon tolerance, power consumption, sequential and random read performances as well as sequential and random write performances.
The SanDisk SSD U100 houses a powerful SATA SSD controller that is fully compliant to SATA 6Gb/s (Revision 3.0) standards on the front-end. Matching the speed on the back-end side, the SSD controller is designed with 4 high-speed NAND Flash channels each operang at a maximum speed of 194MB/s. This allows the product to achieve superior performance up to 450MB/s and 350MB/s for sequential read and sequential write, respectively. It fullls the market's ever increasing demand of seamless user-experience, improved mul-tasking capabilities and extreme responsiveness. The SATA interface aligns with the global transition in the industry, which is enforced by the plaorm's chipsets.
Using the advanced 24nm memory geometry provides for a low-cost product which beats the HDD's price in the capacity ranges of 8GB-32GB and provides a very compeve product at capacities ranging 64GB to 256GB. The SanDisk SSD U100 is oered in many small form factors, allowing SanDisk to maintain its leadership in this market. The small form factor enables further miniaturizaon of Netbook, SmartBook and Tablet designs and opens doors for a whole range of other applicaons such as Ultrabooks (Ultrathin Notebooks).

Figure 1-1: SanDisk SSD U100 Block Diagram
The SanDisk SSD U100 employs a low power architecture that significantly reduces the power consumed by the device in low power modes - allowing the users' to extend the charge cycles of the baery – highly-desired by mobility applicaons.
Built on the fundamentals of solid state technology, the SSD U100 has no moving parts, unlike an HDD, significantly improving the mechanical reliability of the device. The advanced ash management technology designed into the device rmware allows the SSD U100 to achieve superior sequential and random IO performance, and improves long-term data endurance (measure of device reliability) significantly. The device rmware also implements funcons of Dynamic bad block management, dynamic and stac wear-leveling, and robust error detecon and correcon code (EDC/ECC) to ensure data integrity. Once the SSD has been congured by the host, it appears to the host as a standard SATA disk drive.

1.4 Advanced Flash Management
1.4.1 Non-Volatile Write Cache
The fourth genera on of modular SSD, the SSD U100 supports a unique feature to improve burst and sustained random write performance and ensure very positive user experience. Studies show that modern (client as well as mobile) operang systems (like Windows7, Windows Mobile, Android, ChromeOS) mostly access the storage device using small access blocks, with the majority being 4KB access blocks.
![graph LR A["SATA-III Host Controller"] --> B["SATA-III Device Controller"] B --> C["nCache Page Based"] B --> D["nCache Page Based"] B --> E["nCache Page Based"] B --> F["nCache Page Based"] C <--> G["MLC NAND Flash Chunk Based"] D <--> H["MLC NAND Flash Chunk Based"] E <--> I["MLC NAND Flash Chunk…](/content/2026/06/1253222/images/d33d12b50e322d5ee0d5765118047b876abc8aa123452ce6463059a532ddb5d7.jpg)
Figure 1-2: SanDisk SSD U100 nCache™ technology
These small logical access blocks conict with the physical NAND block structure (>=2MB) for the newer genera on ash memory technology. Therefore, to bridge this dience, the SSD U100 employs a non-volale NAND Flash write cache called the nCache™. The nCache™ is used to accumulate these small writes (called cache segments) at high-speed and then ush and consolidate them to a larger MLC secon of the NAND Flash memory in the background during idle me.
The cache size of the SSD U100 is over 500MB - an order of magnitude larger than other compeng soluons that use DRAM based cache. Due to its large size, for most of the daily user acvity, the nCache™ never overows and the user experiences high-burst performance rather than the sustained performance. Once the nCache™ becomes full, the performance of SSD U100 drops to the steady state condion.
1.4.2 Defect and Error Management
SSD U100 contains a sophisticated defect and error management system that is similar to the systems found in magnec disk drives, and in many cases, oers enhancements. If necessary, the SSD device will rewrite data from a defective block to a good block. This acon is completely transparent to the host and does not consume any user data space.
The SSD so error rate specicaon is much beer than the magnec disk drive specicaon. In the extremely rare case that a read error does occur, the SSD U100 products have innovate algorithms to recover the data by using error detecon code and error correcon code (EDC/ECC). These defect and error management systems, coupled with the solid state construcon, give SSD U100 unparalleled reliability.
1.4.3 Wear Leveling
Wear leveling is an intrinsic part of the erase pooling funconality of SSDs using NAND memory. Advanced features of dynamic and stac wear-leveling, and automac block management are used to ensure an even distribution of write/erase cycles throughout the enre device, regardless of how dynamic or stac the data wrien is. This guarantees high data reliability and maximizes ash life expectancy.
1.4.4 Bad Block Management
Bad blocks are occasionally created during the life cycle of a ash component, in a phenomenon called dynamic bad-block accumulation. These bad blocks must be marked and replaced dynamically in order to prevent read/write failures. When a bad block is detected, the embedded Bad Block Mapping algorithm maps out the block, which will remove the block from future use.
1.5 Advanced Low Power Management
The SanDisk SSD U100 employs advanced low power architecture that reduces power consumption in low power modes. In particular, the SSD U100 supports the following SATA low power modes:
1.5.1 Slumber SATA low power mode
The SanDisk SSD U100 supports entering into Slumber SATA low power mode through DIPM (Device Initiated Power Management) as well as HIPM (Host Initiated Power Management). Upon compleon of any command, in case of DIPM, the SSD will request the host to enter into Slumber power if there is no SATA bus acvity for 20msec.
1.5.2 DEVLSP SATA low power mode
The SSD U100 employs the newest DEVSLP SATA low power mode that further reduces device power consumption in the IDLE state - thereby extending the me between charging of a baery, which is highly-desired in mobility applications. The standard SATA low power modes, Paral and Slumber, need SATA OOB (Out of Band) commands to return to normal operation. The SATA PHY has to be parally powered up to respond to the OOB command sequence, resulting in high Slumber mode current. DEVSLP enables the device, and onally the host, to completely shut-o their SATA PHY, resulting in much lower power consumption compared to Slumber SATA low power mode.
1.6 Background Garbage Collection
Once the SATA PHY has entered into Slumber state, the ash management rmware can ulize the me the device is idle in order to perform internal house-keeping operaons. These internal house-keeping advies include freeing up the space in the nCache by ushing and consolidang to the MLC storage. Performing internal house-keeping advies in background will significantly improve burst performance of the device, providing swi user experience and, at the same me, allowing for beer ulizaon of the nCache. These operaons are executed internally, while reporting device status READY to the host. Any me a new command is received from the host the internal operaons will be terminated and the host command will be serviced with minimal delay. If no command is received by the device, the execution of the house-keeping advies will be limited to 30 seconds – designed to maintain low power consumption.
1.7 Power classes
The SanDisk SSD U100 targeted towards convergence market space characterized by stringent power budget originang from the objecve to either extend baery charge cycle or due to power ICs limitaon. In order to allow an adequate power-performance tradeo, the SanDisk SSD U100 supports three power classes as dene in the table below.
The operang Power Class is selected using user congorable or Operang System inputs.
| Power Class | Unit | Power Class I | Power Class II | Power Class III |
| Maximum Active Power consumption | mW | 800 | 1200 | 2000 |
Table 1-1: SanDisk SSD U100 Power Classes
1.8 Performance Throttling
In order to protect the integrity of the data and prevent excessive heat dissipacn, the SSD U100 ulizes an on-board/on-chip thermal sensor to monitor the SSD's crical component juncon temperature. If the temperature rises above the allowable limit, the performance will be reduced until the temperature decreases to an allowable level. This performance throling technique acts as a safety measure as well as a means for achieving power class implementaon described in the previous secon.

3.2 Graceful Power-off Requirements
By default, most OS's operate with Host Write Cache 'enabled,' which more accurately means there can be data residing in the U100 that hasn't been successfully programmed into ash memory (this is a feature of ATA and not specific to SanDisk SSD products). To ensure this data is properly commied to ash memory, the U100 requires a Flush Cache command followed by a Standby Immediate command prior to power being removed. This command sequence allows the U100 to complete the programming of all data in its volatile data cache into ash memory, returning 'good' status to the host only aer successful compleon. This command sequence is handled transparently by most OS's during a standard shutdown sequence (e.g., hibernaon, shutdown, standby, etc).
However, it is possible that in some applicaons (e.g., embedded systems without a typical user-interface providing graceful power-down opons), power to the U100 could be removed, without warning, precluding the possibility of a graceful shutdown. To assist in the protecon against data loss, the U100 ulizes an internal voltage sensor to detect the loss of power. In combinaon with residual power (i.e., current) from the host, the U100 will use the voltage sensor trigger to stop any outstanding ash programming operaon that may lead to data loss. Please refer to the "Unexpected Power Loss Consideraons" white paper available from SanDisk, which provides specific details relang to this topic.
3.3 Average Power Consumption
Average power consumpon is dened as the blended read/write/idle power used by the SSD U100 while it is operang with a typical OS installed. The power consumpon is being recorded while running MobileMark™ 2007 with Device Initiated Power Management (DIPM) enabled (allowing the SSD U100 to enter low power modes during host idle me). MobileMark™ 2007 simulates the usage of standard user applicaons in the Windows environment, providing a reproducible test plaorm for measuring average power consumpon.
