Apacer mSATA Series Industrial mSATA Disk Modules

Apacer mSATA M4 is a solid-state disk (SSD) drive in mini PCIe form factor that contains a controller, embedded firmware, and flash media along with a male connector. Using NAND flash memory devices, the mSATA flash drive interfaces with the host allowing data to be seamlessly transferred between the host and the flash devices.

mSATA M4 drive is designed with a single-chip controller, offering capacities of up to 64 gigabytes and is compliant with the SATA II high-speed interface standard. Complying with JEDEC MO-300 standard, this mSATA SSD is the widely adopted embedded storage with compact size and exceptional performance.

In addition to block management through dynamical allocation, mSATA M4 adopts the Apacer-specific global wear-leveling scheme to allow uniform use of all storage blocks, ensuring that the lifespan of a flash media can be significantly increased and the disk performance is optimized as well. mSATA M4 provides the S.M.A.R.T. feature that follows the SATA Rev. 2.6, ATA/ATAPI-7 specifications and uses the standard SMART command B0h to read data from the drive. This feature protects the user from unscheduled downtime by monitoring and storing critical drive performance.
