Overview
This document describes the specifications and capabilities of the Intel® Solid-State
Drive 711 Series (Intel® SSD 711 Series).
The Intel SSD 711 Series delivers leading performance for Serial Advanced Technology
Attachment (SATA)-based computers in two capacities: 32 GB and 64 GB.
By combining 34nm Intel® NAND Flash Memory single-level cell (SLC) technology with
SATA 3Gb/s interface support, the Intel SSD 711 Series delivers sequential read speedsof up to 250 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 230 MB/s. The Intel SSD 711
Series also delivers random read performance of up to 45,000 IOPS and random write
performance of up to 5,500 IOPS.
The industry-standard 2.5-inch form factor enables interchangeability with existing
hard disk drives (HDDs) and native SATA HDD drop-in replacement with the enhanced
performance, reliability, ruggedness, and power savings offered by an SSD.
As compared to standard SATA HDDs, the Intel SSD 711 Series offers these key
features:• SLC NAND technology• High I/O and throughput performance• Low power• Increased system responsiveness• High reliability• Enhanced ruggedness

Notes: 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes; 1 sector = 512 bytes.
LBA count shown represents total user storage capacity and will remain the same throughout the life of the drive.
The total usable capacity of the SSD may be less than the total physical capacity because a small portion of the capacity isused for NAND flash management and maintenance purposes.

Reliability
The Intel SSD 711 Series meets SSD endurance and data retention requirements as
specified in Table 8.

Table 8.

Reliability Specifications

Parameter

Value

Uncorrectable Bit Error Rate (UBER)

1 sector in 1016 bits read, max

Uncorrectable bit error rate will not exceed one sector in thespecified number of bits read. In the unlikely event of anonrecoverable read error, the SSD will report it as a read
failure to the host; the sector in error is considered corrupt
and is not returned to the host.
Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF)

2,000,000 hours

Mean Time Between Failure is estimated based on Telcordia*
methodology and demonstrated through Reliability
Demonstration Test (RDT).
Power On/Off Cycles

50,000 cycles

Power On/Off Cycles is defined as power being removed
from the SSD, and then restored. Most host systems remove
power from the SSD when entering suspend and hibernate
as well as on a system shutdown.
Insertion Cycles

250 insertion/removal cycles

SATA/power cable insertion/removal cycles.
Data Retention
The time period for retaining data in the NAND at maximum
rated endurance.

3 months power-off retention at 40 °C once SSD reaches
rated write endurance

Endurance Rating
The SSD will be able to write host data equal to the lifetime
endurance specification.

See Section 2.7, “Write Endurance”

Write Endurance
Write endurance is measured while running 100% random 4 KB (4,096 bytes) writes
spanning 100% of the drive using Iometer.

This product supports asynchronous signal recovery and issues an unsolicited COMINIT
when first mated with a powered connector to guarantee reliable detection by a hostsystem without hardware device detection.

3.3 V 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 todischarge 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).

Timed Workload Endurance Indicators
Timed Workload Media Wear Indicator — ID E2hThis attribute tracks the drive wear seen by the device during the last wear timer loop,
as a percentage of the maximum rated cycles. The raw value tracks the percentage up
to 3 decimal points. This value should be divided by 1024 to get the percentage.
For example: if the raw value is 4450, the percentage is 4450/1024 = 4.345%. The raw
value is held at FFFFh until the wear timer (attribute E4h) reaches 60 (minutes). The
normalized value is always set to 100 and should be ignored.
Timed Workload Host Reads Percentage — ID E3hThis attribute shows the percentage of I/O operations that are read operations during
the last workload timer loop. The raw value tracks this percentage and is held at FFFFh
until the workload timer (attribute E4h) reaches 60 (minutes). The normalized value isalways set to 100 and should be ignored.
Workload Timer — ID E4hThis attribute is used to measure the time elapsed during the current workload. The
attribute is reset when a SMART EXECUTE OFFLINE IMMEDIATE (D4h) subcommand
40h is issued to the drive. The raw value tracks the time in minutes and has amaximum value of 232 = 4,294,967,296 minutes (8,171 years). The normalized value
is always set to 100 and should be ignored.

Example Use Cases
The Timed Workload Endurance attributes described in this section are intended to be
used to measure the amount of media wear that the drive is subjected to during a
timed workload.
Ideally, the system that the drive is being used in should be capable of issuing SMART
commands. Otherwise, provisions have been provided to allow the media wear
attributes to be persistent so the drive can be moved to a SMART-capable system toread out the drive wear attribute values.
Use Case 1 – With a System Capable of SMART Commands
1. Make sure DIPM (Device Initiated Power Management) is disabled to ensure
data collected is accurate.
2. Issue the SMART EXECUTE OFF-LINE IMMEDIATE (D4h) sub-command 40h to
reset the drive wear attributes.
3. Run the workload to be evaluated for at least 60 minutes. Otherwise the drive
wear attributes will not be available.
4. Read out the drive wear attributes with the SMART READ DATA (D0h) command.
Use Case 2 – With a System Not Capable of SMART Commands
1. Make sure DIPM is disabled to ensure data collected is accurate.
2. On a SMART capable system, issue the SMART EXECUTE OFF-LINE IMMEDIATE(D4h) sub-command 40h to reset the E4h (workload timer) attribute.
3. Move the drive to the system where the workload will be measured (and notcapable of SMART commands).
4. Run the workload to be evaluated for at least 60 minutes. Otherwise the drive
wear attributes will not be available.
5. Do a clean system power down by issuing the ATA STANDBY IMMEDIATE
command prior to shutting down the system. This will store all the drive wear
SMART attributes to persistent memory within the drive.
6. Move the drive to a SMART capable system.
7. Read out the drive wear attributes with the SMART READ DATA (D0h) commandwithin 60 minutes after power-up.
Example Calculation of Drive Wear
The following is an example of how the drive wear attributes can be used to evaluate
the impact of a given workload. The Host Writes SMART attribute (E1h) can also be
used to calculate the amount of data written by the host during the workload byreading this attribute before and after running the workload. This example assumes
that the steps shown in “Example Use Cases” on page 17 were followed to obtain thefollowing attribute values:• Timed Workload Media Wear (E2h) has a raw value of 16. Therefore, thepercentage wear = 16/1024 = 0.016%.
• Timed Workload Host Read/Write Ratio (E3h) has a normalized value of 80,
indicating that 80% of operations were reads.
• Workload Timer (E4h) has a raw value of 500. Therefore the workload ran for 500
minutes.

Intel® Solid-State Drive 711 Series• Host Writes Count (E1h) had a raw value of 100,000 prior to running the workload
and a value of 130,000 at the end of the workload. Therefore, the number ofsectors written by the host during the workload was 30,000 * 65,535 =
1,966,050,000 sectors or 1,966,050,000 * 512/1,000,000,000 = 1,007 GB.
The following conclusions can be made for this example case:
The workload took 500 minutes to complete with 80% reads and 20% writes. A total of
1,007 GB of data was written to the device, which increased the media wear in thedrive by 0.016%. At this point in time, this workload is causing a wear rate of 0.016%
for every 500 minutes, or 0.00192%/hour.

SMART Logs
The Intel SSD 711 Series implements the following Log Addresses: 00h, 02h, 03h, 06h,
and 07h.
The Intel SSD 711 Series implements host vendor specific logs (addresses 80h-9Fh) as
read and write scratchpads, where the default value is zero (0). Intel® Solid-State
Drive 711 Series does not write any specific values to these logs unless directed by thehost through the appropriate commands.
The Intel SSD 711 Series also implements a device vendor specific log at address A9h
as a read-only log area with a default value of zero (0).

Note:

Log page 10h is not a S.M.A.R.T. log; however, the 10h log page supports Native
Command Queuing as defined in the SATA Rev 2.6 specification.
