Before Getting Started
1.1 Production Definition
Fujitsu’s Solid State Drive is a storage device that is based on semiconductors rather than rotating magnetic platters. It uses flash memory as the storage media because they are fast, highly reliable, and are non-volatile. SSDs are a drop –in replacement with standard hard disk drives since they use both industry standard dimensions and a standard hard drive interface.
1.3 SATA Interface Description
All Fujitsu’s SATA SSDs are compatible with the SATA 3.0 Gb/s standard, allowing for drop-in drive replacement.
Fujitsu’s SATA III SSDs are compatible with the SATA 6.0 Gb/s standard in addition to the SATA 3.0 Gb/s standard, allowing for drop-in drive replacement.
