Reliability & Endurance Over-provisioning To reduce write amplification and increase endurance and performance, Apacer s SSDs support over-provisioning. The SSDs set aside a certain portion of the physical capacity of the memory to carry out garbage collection, wear-leveling and bad block mapping operations. The end result is a longer operating lifetime for our SSDs. Apacer DataDefenderTM combines both firmware and hardware mechanisms to ensure data integrity. When power disruption occurs, the hardware mechanism will notice and trigger the controller to run multiple write-to-flash cycles to store...
