1. Product Description
1.1 Introduction
Apacer’s mSATA A1-M is a well-balanced solid-state disk (SSD) drive with compact form factor (JEDEC
MO-300) and great performance. Designed in SATA 6.0 Gbps interface, the mSATA SSD is able to deliver
exceptional read/write speed, making it the ideal companion for heavy-loading embedded or server operations
with space constraints for host computing systems. For data efficiency, the internal controlling unit of the
mSATA SSD is engineered with DRAM for enhanced random performance (for high-speed type only). In regard
of reliability, the drive comes with various implementations including powerful hardware ECC engine, power
saving modes, wear leveling, flash block management, S.M.A.R.T., TRIM, and power failure management.

1. Display of total bytes varies from file systems. 2. Cylinders, heads or sectors are not applicable for these capacities. Only LBA
addressing applies.3. LBA count addressed in the table above indicates total user storage capacity and will remain the same throughout
the lifespan of the device. However, the total usable capacity of the SSD is most likely to be less than the total physical capacity because
a small portion of the capacity is reserved for device maintenance usages.
