1. Product Description
1.1
Introduction
Apacer’s mSATA Mini M4-M is the pioneering solid-state disk (SSD) to appear in the new mSATA mini form
factor. The size of mSATA Mini M4-M is further slimmed down from its previous mSATA M4 release. Since it
is the trend that host computing systems are becoming more and more compact, this mSATA mini SSD will
take space efficiency to a new level, while maintaining its capabilities in terms of capacities and performance
that are comparable to those built with standard SATA form factor.
mSATA Mini M4-M drive is designed with a powerful controller, offering capacities of up to 64 gigabytes and is
compliant with the SATA high-speed interface standard. Designed in mSATA Mini form factor, this SSD will
definitely be the choice for industrial embedded applications with its compact size and exceptional
performance.
In addition, mSATA Mini M4-M adopts the Apacer-specific global wear-leveling scheme to allow uniform use
of all storage blocks, ensuring that the lifespan of a flash media can be significantly increased and the disk
performance is optimized as well. mSATA Mini M4-M provides the S.M.A.R.T. feature that follows the SATA
Rev. 2.6, ATA/ATAPI specifications and uses the standard SMART command B0h to read data from the drive.
This feature protects the user from unscheduled downtime by monitoring and storing critical drive performance.

Functional Block Diagram
mSATA Mini M4-M drive includes a single-chip SATA Controller and the flash media, as well as the SATA
standard interface. The controller integrates the flash management unit with the controller itself to support
multi-channel, multi-bank flash arrays. Figure 1-1 shows the functional block diagram.

Capacity Specification
Capacity specification of mSATA Mini M4-M product family is available as shown in Table 1-1. It lists the
specific capacity, the default numbers of logical cylinders and heads, and the number of logical sectors per
track for each product line.

*Display of total bytes varies from file systems.
**Cylinders, heads or sectors are not applicable for these capacities. Only LBA addressing applies.
**Notes: 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes; 1 sector = 512 bytes.
LBA count addressed in the table above indicates total user storage capacity and will remain the same throughout the lifespan of
the device. However, the total usable capacity of the SSD is most likely to be less than the total physical capacity because a small
portion of the capacity is reserved for device maintenance usages.
