ADLINK ASD26-MA2 Series - Manual (Page 5)

1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The ASD26-HA2 series 2.5" SATA 3 Gb/s 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-HA2 series 2.5" SATA 3 Gb/s SSD in 2.5" form factors.
The ASD26-HA2 series 2.5" SATA 3 Gb/s 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-HA2 series 2.5" SATA 3 Gb/s 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.
