M.2 2242 Flash Drive
APM2T42SM22xxxGAN-3XTMXX
1. General Description
Apacer’s SM220-M242 (M.2 2242) is the next generation modularized Solid State Drive (SSD) with the
shape of all new M.2 form factor, with the aim to be the more suitable for mobile and compact computers
with standard width at only 22.00 mm. SM220-M242 appears in M.2 2242 mechanical dimensions and is
believed to be the leading add-in storage solution for future host computing systems.
The M.2 SSD is designed with SATA-based connector pinouts, providing full compliance with the latest
SATA Revision 3.1 interface specifications. Aside from SATA compliance, SM220-M242 delivers
exceptional performance and power efficiency. On the other hand, the extreme thin and light form factor
makes SM220-M242 the ideal choice for mobile computing systems, which appears to be the trend in
near future.
Regarding reliability, SM220-M242 is built with a powerful SATA controller that supports on-the-module
ECC as well as efficient wear leveling scheme. Since it is operating under SATA 6.0 Gbps interface,
SM220-M242 is provided with Apacer latest S.M.A.R.T. that are primarily oriented for the latest SATA
interface SSD, for drive lifetime monitoring and analyzing.
2. Pin Assignments
This connector does not support hot plug capability. There are a total of 75 pins. 12 pin locations are used
for mechanical key locations; this allows such a module to plug into both Key B and Key M connectors.
