1 Introduction 


1.1 Overview 
The ASD26 (ASD26-MLC & ASD26-MA2) series 2.5" SATA Solid State Drive (SSD) 
delivers leading performance 
in an industry standard 2.5" form factor while simultaneously improving system 
responsiveness for mobile 
applications over standard rotating drive media or hard disk drives. By 
combining leading NAND flash memory 
technology with our innovative high performance firmware, ADLINK delivers a SSD 
for native Serial Advanced 
Technology Attachment (SATA) hard disk drive drop-in replacement with enhanced 
performance, reliability, 
ruggedness and power savings. Since there are no rotating platters, moving 
heads, fragile actuators, or 
unnecessary delays due to spin-up time or positional seek time that can slow 
down the storage subsystem, 
significant I/O and throughput performance improvement is achieved as compared 
to rotating media or hard 
disk drives. This document describes the specifications of the ASD26 series 
2.5" SATA SSD in 2.5" form factors. 

The ASD26 series 2.5" SATA SSD primarily targets SATA based servers, fanless 
laptop PCs, highly rugged mobile 
client devices, as well as thin and light mini/sub-notebooks. Key attributes 
include high performance, low 
power, increased system responsiveness, high reliability, and enhanced 
ruggedness as compared to standard 
mobile SATA hard drives. The ASD26 series 2.5" SATA SSD is available in a 2.5" 
form factor that is electrically, 
mechanically, and software compatible with existing 2.5” Serial ATA slots and 
cables. Our flexible design allows 
interchangeability with existing mobile hard drives based on the SATA interface 
standard.

2). 1 MB/sec = 1,048,576 bytes/sec is used in measuring sequential performance. 
If 
1 MB/sec = 1,000,000 bytes/sec is used, performance values become 4.85% higher. 
3). Test platform: Sandy Bridge (Windows 7 64-bit)

1.6 Architecture 
The ASD26 series 2.5" SATA Solid State Drive (SSD) utilizes a cost effective 
system-on-chip (SoC) design to 
provide a full 6 Gb/s bandwidth with the host while managing multiple flash 
memory devices on multiple 
channels internally. 

1.7 Hot Plug Support 
Hot Plug insertion and removal are supported when the correct connector and an 
appropriate operating 
system (OS) are used as described in the SATA 3.0 Specification. This product 
supports asynchronous signal 
recovery and will establish communications with a host system without hardware 
device detection by 
issuing an unsolicited COMINIT when first mated with a powered connector.

Note: 

1. 
All pins are in a single row, with a 1.27mm (0.05”) pitch 
2. 
Pins P1, P2 and P3 are connected together, although they are not connected 
internally to 
the device. The host may put 3.3v on these pins. 
3. 
The mating sequence is 
-The ground pins P4-P6, P10, P12 and the 5V power pin P7 
-The signal pins and the rest of the 5V power pins P8-P9 
4. 
Ground connectors P4 and P12 may contact before the other 1st mate pins in both 
the 
power and signal connectors to discharge ESD in a suitably configured backplane 
connector. 
5. 
Power pins P7, P8 and P9 are internally connected to one another within the 
device. 
6. 
The host may ground P11 if it is not used for Device Activity Signal (DAS) 
7. 
Pins P13, P14, P15 are connected together, although they are not connected 
internally to
