Product Description Environmental Characteristics 1.4.2 Drive Assembly Weight The weight of a Zeus SSD varies, depending on the specific set of design characteristics of the drive. A standard 32 GB, 2.5-inch Zeus SSD weighs approximately 0.322 lb (0.120Kg). A 72 GB SSD weighs 0.670 lb (0.250Kg). The following characteristics must be taken into consideration in order to determine the exact weight of a drive. • Storage capacity • IC stacking technology (if used) • Flash controller/memory config

Electrical Characteristics Product Description 1.5.2 Shock and Vibration In setting the initial baseline for shock and vibration test levels, the Zeus SSD was exposed to increasingly harsh levels of stress until the drive’s failure levels were determined. The tests were then repeated using the stress levels thereby established, to verify that the SSD would meet these specifications consistently. This process established the shock and vibration levels that have been used in subsequent shock a

Product Description Operation and Performance Characteristics 1.7.6.2 Error Detection and Correction The SSD’s error detection code and error correcting code (EDC/ECC) helps maintain data integrity by allowing single or multiple bit corrections to the data stored in the drive’s flash array. If the data in the flash array is corrupted due to aging or during the programming process, EDC/ECC will compensate for the errors to ensure the delivery of accurate data to the host computer. The EDC/ECC
