Typically base 10. • Logical or User Density: ▪ This is the total amount of data a user can store on a drive at any given moment. Typically base 10. • Physical Density: ▪ The total amount of storage physically on the drive, typically base 2. • Write Amplification (WA): ▪ A measure of how much data is actually written to the SSD compared to what was requested by the host. • Mean Time To Failure (MTTF): ▪ The position parameter of the exponential distribution based on the time to first failure. ▪ The exponential distribution applies to failures that are truly random. ▪ MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure): Only valid for a repairable system. • Annualized Failure Rate (AFR): ▪ The failure probability in 1 year, constant for an exponential distribution. 2 August 25, 2015 | ©2014 Micron Technology, Inc. | Micron Confidential Reliability Statistics 1 β=4.0 β=1.0 0.8 F(t): Cumulative g n i l i 0.6 =0.1 a β F Distribution n o i t c a 0.4 Function (CDF). r F F(t) =1− S(t) 0.2 β=4.0 Where : S(t) = Survivor Function 0 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 H(t): Hazard Multiples of η Function. β=0.1 f (t) f (t) β=0.1 H (t) = = β=1.0 1− F(t) S(t) β=4.0 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 Multiples of η β=1.0 f(t): Probability Distribution Function (PDF) dF f (t) = 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 dt Multiples of η 3 | ©2014 Micron Technology, Inc. 3 Reliability Statistics • Weibull Distribution • What is it? ▪ Large family of distributions that cover the entire life of many products. β • What is it good for? & , t ) # F(t) =1− exp$− * ' ! ▪ Many failure modes can be described with or approximated by a *η ' Weibull distribution.

For each defined class of solid state drive, the standard defines the conditions of use and the corresponding endurance verification requirements. Although endurance is to be rated based upon the standard conditions of use for the class, the standard also sets out requirements for possible additional use conditions as agreed to between manufacturer and purchaser. • Qualification of a solid state drive involves many factors beyond endurance and retention, so such qualification is beyond the scope of this standard, but this standard is sufficient for the endurance and retention part of a drive qualification. This standard applies to individual products and also to qualification families as defined in this standard. • The scope of this standard includes solid state drives based on solid-state non-volatile memory (NVM). NAND Flash memory is the most common form on memory used in solid state drives at the time of this writing, and this standard emphasizes certain features of NAND. The standard is also intended to apply to other forms of NVM. ” 9 August 25, 2015 | ©2014 Micron Technology, Inc. | Micron Confidential JESD218-Testing • JESD218, is really about validating that the drive can meet its endurance specification, including post TBW data retention.

P. Muroke, Proc IRPS, 2006 12 | ©2014 Micron Technology, Inc. Functional Failure Rate • These are typically the defect related failures. ▪ Defective NAND, controller failures etc… • This is related to the MTTF/ AFR of the drive. ▪ Most drives specify the AFR/ MTTF of a drive that may not align with the JEDEC specification. • In most cases it is the purpose of the Reliability Demonstration Test (RDT) to demonstrate the MTTF. 13 August 25, 2015 | ©2014 Micron Technology, Inc. | Micron Confidential Functional Failure Rate-Sample Size 14 August 25, 2015 | ©2014 Micron Technology, Inc.

  • Micron: NAND Flash Architecture and Specification Trends
    NAND Flash Architecture and Specification Trends Michael Abraham ([email protected]) Applications Engineering Manager Micron Technology, Inc. Santa Clara, CA USA August 2009 1 Abstract As NAND Flash continues to shrink, page sizes, block sizes, and ECC requirements are increasing while data retention, endurance, and performance are decreasing. These changes impact systems including random write performance and more. Learn how to prepare for these changes and counteract some of them through improved block management techniques and system design. This presentation also discusses some of the tradeoff myths – for example, the myth that you can directly trade ECC for endurance Santa Clara, CA USA August 2009 2 NAND Flash: Shrinking Faster Than Moore’s Law 200 100 Logic 80 DRAM on (nm) ii 60 NAND Resolut 40 Micron 32Gb NAND (34nm) 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 Semiconductor International, 1/1/2007 Santa Clara, CA USA August 2009 3 Memory Organization Trends Over time, NAND block size is increasing. • Larger page sizes increase sequential throughput. • More pages per block reduce die size. 4,194,304 1,048,576 262,144 65,536 16,384 4,096 1, 024 256 64 16 Block size (B) Data Bytes per Page Pages per Block Santa Clara, CA USA August 2009 4 Consumer-grade NAND Flash: Endurance and ECC Trends Process shrinks lead to less electrons ppgger floating gate.

  • Press Release
    Press Release KIOXIA Europe Introduces Industry’s First[1] 512GB Automotive UFS Opens Door to More Advanced Systems and Applications – for an Enhanced Driver Experience Düsseldorf, Germany, November 14, 2019 – The next generation of automotive systems are hungry for more. More advanced infotainment and ADAS[2] systems. More storage for event data recording. Support for more 3D mapping. In a move that makes ‘more’ a reality, KIOXIA Europe GmbH (formerly Toshiba Memory Europe GmbH), the European-based subsidiary of KIOXIA Corporation, today announced that it has begun sampling the industry’s first 512 gigabyte (GB) Automotive Universal Flash Storage[3] (UFS) JEDEC® Version 2.1 embedded memory solution. KIOXIA Europe’s Automotive UFS supports a wide temperature range (- 40°C to +105°C), meets AEC-Q100 Grade 2[4] requirements and offers the extended reliability required by various automotive applications. The 512GB device joins the company’s existing lineup of Automotive UFS, which includes capacities of 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB. Innovations such as autonomous vehicles, more advanced infotainment systems, digital clusters, telematics, and ADAS provide not only an elevated driver experience but also a greater demand for storage within vehicles. To meet this demand for large capacity memory, KIOXIA’s new 512GB Automotive UFS memory was developed, which integrates the company’s BiCS FLASH™ 3D flash memory and a controller in a single package. 512GB Automotive UFS features several functions well- suited to the requirements of automotive applications including Refresh, Thermal Control and Extended Diagnosis. The Refresh function can be used to refresh data stored in UFS and helps extend the data’s lifespan.
