2.4.3 Electromagnetic Immunity
Slim SATA is an embedded product for host systems and is designed not to
impair with system functionality or hinder system EMI/FCC compliance.

>10 years when new, 90 days at drive EOL
Notes:
1. BER will not exceed one sector in the specified number of bits read. In the extremely unlikely event of a
non-recoverable read error, the drive will report it as a read failure to the host; the sector in error is
considered corrupt and is not returned to the host.
2. MTBF is calculated based on a Part Stress Analysis. It assumes nominal voltage, with all other parameters
within specified range. Telcordia method SR-332, component FIT rate at 55
o
c.
3. Power On/Off Cycles defined as power being removed from the drive, and then restored. Note that host
systems and drive enclosures may remove power from the drive for reasons other than a system
shutdown.
4. SLC NAND has a higher endurance then MLC NAND
2.5.1 Data, MetaData, and Firmware Code Protection
Slim SATA implements data protection throughout its data path. Protection
techniques include:
• Data ECC Algorithms
• Datapath CRC Error Detection
• RAISE
