Strong multi-level BCH error correction coding (ECC) that successfully corrects mistakes
approximately 85 bits per 2Kb of information while significantly lowering the uncorrectable bit error
rate (UBER); End-to-end data path protection that performs information integrity checks at every
juncture exactly where details are transmitted, received, processed and also stored making certain
corrupted details are detected rather than propagated; In-flight information protection that will
prevents information loss in the event of a sudden energy failure guaranteeing that the in-progress
create operations total and information is correctly kept in SSD flash; Internal SSD RAID
redundancy provides additional safeguards to be able to dietary supplement conventional ECC
algorithms, and further minimize uncorrectable bit error rates; Lower create amplification by
concatenating multiple compose requests from your host whilst minimizing wasteful copy back
operations involving unaffected data sectors; 256-bit AES encryption compliance regarding
information safety (encrypting data inside big 256-bit important sizes); and also additional flash
management techniques like dynamic along with static wear-leveling, background garbage
collection, TRIM assistance as well as system/storage monitoring via Self-Monitoring Analysis &
