1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The ASD26-MLC (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-MLC series SATA SSD in 2.5" form factor.
The ASD26-MLC 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-MLC 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.
