CAUTION
- Use only the mounting screws (M3 x 6) provided with the product. Longer screws may damage
the interior of the product.
- This product is the silicon disk drives for PC/AT compatible (DOS/V compliant) IDE hard disk.
- No part of this document may be copied or reproduced in any form by any means without prior
written consent of CONTEC CO., LTD.
- The contents of this document may be changed in the future without prior notice.
- All relevant issues have been considered in the preparation of this document. Should you notice
an omission or any questionable item in this document, please feel free to notify CONTEC CO.,
LTD.
- Regardless of the foregoing statement, CONTEC assumes no responsibility for any errors that may
appear in this document or for any results of using the product.
- PC-SSD-P Series is limited in the number of cycles they can be written (rewritten) to due to the
nature of its memory used. Note that the write life depends on the actual operating conditions.
- Do not turn off the power during disk access (writing). Doing so may break the data.
- The product comes with a protective function that prevents the disk from damaging during an
instantaneous stop but this function is not designed to protect data written onto the disk. When
protecting data, use it under the condition which has no instantaneously stops.
- This product is not formatted. Please be sure to format before use.
FCC PART15 Class B Notice
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
-- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
-- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
WARNING TO USER
Changes or modifications not expressly approved the manufacturer can void the user’s authority to operate this
equipment.

3 PC-SSD-P Series
Features
- Containing no rotating or moving part as in hard disk drives, thus best suited for applications which require high
environmental resistance (to temperature, humidity, vibration, shock) and for continuous operation for extended
periods of time.
- Never making any sound such as motor rotation sound or access noise during seeking, thus best suited for
applications which require complete silence.
- Using SLC (Single Level Cell) NAND flash memory provides reliability and writing speed as well as write
endurance that are superior to those of MLC (Multi Level Cell), making it suitable for industrial applications.
- By eliminating a rotating or moving part, power consumption is reduced to approximately 1/3 *1 of that of hard
disk drive
- Normaliz
ing
the number of rewriting for all areas to reduce the unevenness so that long life is attained.
- When turning off the power during data writing, the power supply is retained for several milliseconds by the
internal power protection circuit, resulting in strong resistance against power shutoff.
- 8-bit correction/512 bytes error correction feature ensures high data reliability.
- Auto recovery feature ensures automated data recovery from data errors that occurs with repeated reading.
- S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) is supported, making it possible to know the
current number of write cycles.

About write endurance
PC-SSD-P series have a write endurance which limits the number of
cycles
each memory may be written,
due to the characteristic of the memory that is used. Write endurance can be calculated by the
following formula as a reference value:
Write endurance (
cycles) =
Total capacity (MB) x 100,000 (
cycles) / Size of file (MB)
Example1: When the file of 1MB is made for PC-SSD-2000P, and it rewrites it once a second.
Write endurance = 1920MB x 100,000
cycles / 1MB = 192,000,000 (cycles)
Longevity = 192,000,000 / (3600 x 24 x 365) 6 (year)
After all these are reference values, confirm its life span by the following S.M.A.R.T.
About S.M.A.R.T.
A self-diagnosis program "SMART" that can obtain the S.M.A.R.T information in a SSD is available
for download at TDK website. Following information can be obtained using this program:
1. Number of flash memory chips mounted inside SSD, and the total number of blocks
2. Total number of write cycles on SSD
3. Number of write cycles of the block where rewriting occurs most frequently
4. Number of write cycles of the block where rewriting occurs least frequently
5. Number of write cycles of all the blocks (10 step histogram)
The NAND type flash memory’s life span is 100,000 cycles.
The number of write cycles for each
block can be determined, making it possible to predict life span.
