2.6 Access time

Access measurements are taken with nominal power at 25°C ambient temperature. All times are measured

using drive diagnostics. The specifications in the table below are defined as follows:

• Page-to-page access time is an average of all possible page-to-page accesses in both directions for a

sequentially preconditioned drive.

• Average access time is a true statistical random average of at least 5000 measurements of accesses

between programmable pages, less overhead, on a randomly preconditioned drive.

*Typical access times (μs) Read Write

Page-to-page 60 120

Average 227 120

Average latency: 206

Note. These drives are designed to provide the highest possible performance under typical conditions.

However, due to the nature of Flash memory technologies there are many factors that can result in

values different than those stated in this specification.

Power-on to Ready for non-Media related Commands (sec) 3 (max)

Power-on to Ready for Media related commands (sec) 14 (max)

Standby to Ready (sec) 13 (max)

Ready to power removal (sec) 3 (max)

Power-on to Ready for non-media related commands is defined as the time that it will take the drive to respond

from the application power until it is ready to accept commands from the host that do not require access to the

flash media. In some cases the drive may accept media access commands during this time, but the commands

will not be completed or status returned to the host until the media can be accessed safely. Commands such

as Check Power and Identify are examples of non-media related commands.

Power-on to Ready for media related commands is defined as the time that it will take the drive to respond from

the application power until it is ready to accept commands from the host that require access to the flash media.

Commands such as FPDMA Read Extended and FPDMA Write Extended are examples of media related com-

mands. This value includes the time needed to charge the Power Loss Data Protection Circuit to a level that is

adequate to protect customer data from unexpected power loss
