Apacer SAFD18S Series Industrial 1.8" SATA Slim SSD Drives

Apacer SAFD18S 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, the SAFD drive interfaces with the host allowing data to be seamlessly transferred between the host and the flash devices.

The SAFD18S drive is designed with a single-chip controller, offering capacities of up to 16 gigabytes and providing full support for the SATA II high speed interface standard. It can operate at sustained access rates of up to 100 megabytes per second, which is much faster than any other solid-state or traditional SATA drive currently available in  the market.

In addition to buffer management through dynamical allocation, the SAFD18S adopts the Apacer-specific global 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. The SAFD18S provides the S.M.A.R.T. feature that follows the SATA Rev. 2.6, ATA/ATAAPI-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.
