FlashDrive Product Manual

1.0 Introduction

Designed to replace traditional rotating disk

drives, SanDisk FlashDrives are embedded solid-

state data storage systems for mobile computing

and the industrial work place. The 1.8-inch

FlashDrives (model SDIB) are compatible with

1.8-inch form factor hard disk drives. The 2.5- and

3.5-inch FlashDrives (models SD25B and SD35B)

are compatible with 2.5- and 3.5-inch form factor

disk drives. These FlashDrives, and all SanDisk

FlashDrives, feature an extremely light weight,

low profile form factor with 4 to 440 megabytes

(MB) of storage capacity.

SanDisk FlashDrives fit into standard disk drive

bays, use the industry standard IDE interface and

connect to the host system via the same ribbon

cable used to connect standard disk drives. No

additional device drives are required.

FlashDrives consist of an IDE compatible flash

memory controller and flash memory chip(s). See

Figure 1-1 for a system block diagram of these IDE

FlashDrive products.

1.5 Functional Description

The SanDisk FlashDrives contain a high level,

intelligent subsystem as shown in the block

diagram, Figure 1-1. This intelligent (micro-

processor) subsystem provides many capabilities.

These capabilities include:

1. Standard ATA register and command set

(same as found on most magnetic disk

drives).

2. Host independence from details of erasing

and programming flash memory.

3. Sophisticated system for managing

defects (analogous to systems found in

magnetic disk drives).

4. Sophisticated system for error recovery

including a powerful error correction code

(ECC).

1.5.1 Flash Technology Independence

The sector size of the FlashDrives is the same as

in a magnetic disk drive: 512 bytes. To write or

read a sector (or multiple sectors), the host

computer software simply issues a write or read

command. The command contains the number of

sectors to write/read and the address to

write/read. The host software then waits for the

command to complete. The host software does not

get involved in the details of how the flash

memory is erased, programmed or read. This is

extremely important as flash devices are expected

to get more and more complex in the future. The

intelligent IDE compatible interface used by the

FlashDrives will not need to change to support

new flash devices in the future and therefore the

host software will not need to change. Systems

that support the FlashDrives today will be able

to access future SanDisk IDE compatible products

built with new flash technology without having

to update or change host software.

1.5.2 Defect and Error Management

The FlashDrives contain a sophisticated defect

and error management system. This system is

analogous to the systems found in all magnetic

disk drives and in many cases offers enhancement.

For instance, disk drives do not typically perform

a read after write to confirm the data is written

correctly because of the performance penalty that

would be incurred. The FlashDrives do a read

after write under margin conditions to verify that

the data is written correctly (except in the case of

a Write without Erase command). In the rare case

that a bit is found to be defective the FlashDrives

can replace this bad bit with a spare bit. If

necessary the FlashDrives can even replace the

entire sector with a spare sector. This is

completely transparent to the host and does not

consume any user data space.

The FlashDrive specification for soft error rate is

much better than the magnetic disk drive

specification. In the extremely rare case that a

read error does occur, the FlashDrives have

innovative algorithms to recover the data. This is

similar to using retries on a disk drive but much

more sophisticated. The last line of defense is to

employ a powerful ECC to correct the data. If ECC

FlashDrive Product Manual

is used to recover data, defective bits are replaced

with spare bits to ensure they do not cause future

problems.

These defect and error management systems

coupled with the solid-state construction give the

FlashDrives unparalleled reliability.

1.5.3 Endurance

Even very heavy use of the FlashDrive in a

computer system will use only a fraction of the

total endurance over the computer’s five year

lifetime. For instance, it would take over 34 years

to wear out an area on the drive on which a file of

any size (from 512 bytes to drive capacity) was

rewritten 3 times per hour, 8 hours a day, 365 days

per year.

With typical applications (PIM software, word

processing, spreadsheets, data collection, etc.),

the 300,000 endurance limit is not of any practical

concern to the vast majority of users.

1.5.4 Wear Leveling

The FlashDrives do not require or perform a Wear

Level operation. The command is supported as a

NOP operation to maintain backward

compatibility with existing software utilities.

1.5.5 Automatic Sleep Mode

A unique feature of the SanDisk FlashDrives is

automatic entrance and exit from sleep mode.

Upon completion of a command, the FlashDrives

will enter the sleep mode to conserve power if no

further commands are received within 5 msec. The

host does not have to take any action for this to

occur. In most systems the FlashDrives are in sleep

mode except when the host is accessing it; thus,

conserving power. Note that the delay from

command completion to entering sleep mode can be

adjusted.

When the host is ready to access the drive and it

is in sleep mode, any command issued to the drive

will cause it to exit sleep and respond. The host

does not have to follow the ATA protocol of

issuing a reset first. It may do this if desired, but

it is not needed. By not issuing the reset,

performance is improved through the reduction of

overhead but this must be done only for the

SanDisk products as other IDE products may not

have this feature.

1.5.6 Power Supply Requirements

This is a dual voltage product which means it

will operate at a voltage range of 3.30 volts ± 5%

or 5.00 volts ± 10% (± 5% for industrial versions).

3.0 Installation and Mounting

3.1 Preparing to Install the FlashDrive

Follow the procedure below to prepare for the

FlashDrive installation:

1. If replacing an existing hard disk drive,

make sure that all data on that drive has

been properly backed up.

2. Turn off the power to the host computer

system and unplug the power supply cord.

The host system’s power must be off during

the entire installation procedure.

3. Using a grounding strap, make sure that

you are properly grounded. You must be

grounded during the entire installation

procedure and when handling the

FlashDrive.

4. Remove the host computer system’s cover.

Caution: Be sure to check with the host

system’s user’s manual and the terms and

conditions of the system’s warranty before

removing the cover. Removing the cover of

a laptop computer may be difficult and

could void the system’s warranty.

5. If replacing the computer system’s existing

hard drive, remove the hard drive.

If the FlashDrive is being installed as a single

drive, go to section 3.3 to finish the installation

process. If the FlashDrive is being installed in a

two drive configuration, follow the steps in section

3.2 below to set the jumpers and then go to section

3.3 to finish the installation.

3.2 Installing the FlashDrive in a Two

Drive Configuration

If the FlashDrive is being installed in a system

that has either a hard disk or another

FlashDrive already installed, a jumper may need

to be installed for the FlashDrive(s) to operate

properly.

3.2.1 Jumper Settings for 1.8- and 2.5-inch

FlashDrives

If the FlashDrive is being installed as the second,

or Slave drive, in a two drive configuration, pin B

or pin C must be grounded (see the Figures 3-1 and

3-2). Pins B and C are pulled-up input pins that

are shorted together internally (Pins A and D are

ground.) These pins are used to configure the

FlashDrive as a slave device. When either pin B

or pin C is grounded by the user, either using a

shunt jumper or through a ground on the host

motherboard if a 50 pin connector is used, the

FlashDrive is configured as a Slave device.

If both pins B and C remain open, the FlashDrive

is configured as a master in a master/slave

configuration or as the only drive in a single drive

system.
