Electro-static discharge (ESD) protection is a technology that protects the MEC products from malfunction or breakdown due to a sudden discharge of electrcity caused by contact between two electrically charged objects. Static electricity is constantly building in electronics, so this protection prevents electronics from suffering damages.
Cervoz has professionally designed a protection that is certified by an SGS lab that will prevent any electrical discharges or surges from its devices.
Over-provisioning is a function that sets aside space for the SSD's provisional use. These free blocks allow the SSD to operate at normal speed while other functions such as wear-leveling or garbage collection are taking place. The blocks also serve as replacements for bad blocks that may be detected by bad block management.
Industrial-grade standards for connectors can largely be divided into A/E key and B+M key. The former is used by WiFi cards, whereas the latter by SATA and PCIe G3x2. The individual M key connector is used by PCIe G3x4 and G4x4.
Serial presence detect (SPD) is a standardized way to access information stored on an EEPROM chip when a computer is booted-- basic information about the module's manufacturer, serial number, size, data width, speed and voltage.
No, because the memory storage functions differently for each type of DIMM, you can only use the DIMM that is suitable for your motherboard at hand.
No, the SSD is equipped by design with wear-leveling technology that distributes all P/E cycles evenly to each block, therefore eliminating the need to defragment from time to time.
IOPS (Inputs/Outputs per Second) is an important indicator of the performance for a hard disk driver or solid-state drive. The IOPS indicates how many input and output (or read and write, respectively) operations the storage device can complete within a second. While it cannot guarantee real-world performance, the IOPS is a benchmark for the speed and capacity of the storage device. IOPS should not be confused with data transfer rate which is calculated in MHz.
Since WIN 7 does not come with a NVMe driver, we suggest downloading Hotfix from the Microsoft official website and then installing the OS onto the SSD.
To find out your SSD's DWPD, multiply the SSD's warranty (in number of years) by 365 then divide that number by terabytes written (TBW).
The difference between the two is their respective error correction capabilities. BCH, the earlier technology, can no longer meet error correction demands of the newest generation of Flash storage. LDPC, with its ability to correct more error per pages, is the go-to choice for industrial-grade storage for reliability and data integrity.
Wear Leveling is a mechanism/algorithm an SSD uses to enhance its longevity. The purpose of Wear Levelling is to distribute P/E cycles to all the blocks evenly; therefore they can reach their P/E threshold at the same time.
The TRIM command allows the OS to acknowledge the SSD controller the locations of unwanted pages proactively, saving operating time in the next write operation.
NAND flash only writes data at the block level. When TRIM is active, and there is data to be erased or written, the SSD manages to write data into blank blocks with efficiency.
TRIM is only active when both the operating system and the flash controller both support and enable this function.

S.M.A.R.T (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) is a diagnosis system for hard disks drives and solid-state drives. S.M.A.R.T monitors a set of attributes relating to the drive’s reliability and anticipates to report malfunctions.
