1. Introduction to power-off protection technology

Power-off protection technology is a key technology widely used to improve product reliability. Its principle is to provide a protection mechanism for important data on the disk when the system encounters an abnormal power outage through software, firmware or hardware.

2. Introduction to power failure types

1. Normal power failure

The command is sent from the host to the SSD controller to inform it that the power is about to be interrupted. The SSD controller sends a confirmation message back to the host, and then stores the data temporarily stored in the cache into the Flash. This is a normal power failure process, and the data is generally not affected.

2. Power failure without warning

The data being transmitted cannot be saved, nor will it be transferred to the Flash. The data stored in the SSD cannot be updated correctly, resulting in data loss. In serious cases, the device cannot even be turned on.
