Embedded USB Mass Storage Drive (e230)
General Description
General Description
Micron RealSSD™ embedded universal serial bus (USB) mass storage drives provide
2GB, 4GB, 8GB, or 16GB of USB 2.0-compatible memory storage in a small form factor.
The embedded USB drive is an ideal solution for applications that require low cost and
high reliability. Typical applications include PC caching and boot drives for embedded
computing, server, and networking systems.
High performance, reliability, and easy implementation make Micron RealSSD embed-
ded USBs an ideal storage solution. To consistently deliver the best possible perform-
ance, the embedded USB uses only SLC NAND Flash, and all densities use two x8
NAND channels to the controller. In addition to being fast, SLC NAND Flash offers solid
reliability, coupled with ECC and wear leveling. The USB system interface is widely avail-
able in many system designs and is easy to implement, enabling rapid time to market.
The embedded USB consists of two TSOP-packaged Micron NAND Flash components,
a USB controller, and a 10-pin USB connector on a PCB. Different densities are availa-
ble depending on the number of die in each package and the density of each NAND
Flash die. The drive operates at 5V ±5%. It uses industry-standard 10-pin connectors
and supports USB Specification, Revision 2.0. It is also backward compatible with Revi-
sion 1.1 and can be used with operating systems that support USB Mass Storage Class
Specification, Revision 1.0.

Error Management
Error Management
The RealSSD™ embedded USB incorporates advanced technology for defect and error
management. It uses various combinations of hardware-based error correction algo-
rithms and firmware-based wear-leveling algorithms.
Over the life of the drive, uncorrectable errors may occur. An uncorrectable error is de-
fined as data that is reported as successfully programmed to the drive, but when it is
read out of the drive, the data differs from what was programmed. See the Uncorrecta-
ble Bit Error Rate Table.
The mean time between failures (MTBF) can be predicted based on component reliabil-
ity data obtained by following the methods referenced in the Telecordia SR-332 reliabil-
ity prediction procedures for electronic equipment.
