... Apacer SMART feature follows the SATA Rev. 2.5, ATA/ATAPI-7 specifications, using the standard SMART command B0h to read data from the drive. And based on the SFF-8035i Rev. 2.0 specifications, Apacer SMART defines 3 vendor-specified SMART Attribute IDs (E5h, E8h-EFh, and F3h) in the SAFD 254. They represent Flash ID, good block count, free-list block count, maximum erase count, average erase count, and firmware version information ...

... Thus, if the write cycles can be distributed evenly across the media, the lifetime of the media can be prolonged significantly. This scheme is called wear leveling. Apacer’s wear-leveling scheme is achieved both via buffer management and Apacer-specific static wear leveling. They both ensure that the lifetime of the flash media can be increased, and the disk access performance is optimized as well ...
