Sudden power failures can put storage media and stored data at risk, making targeted qualification testing essential. This application note explains how to approach power failure testing, why starting with the storage medium alone can speed up preselection, and provides a simple hardware build proposal for creating repeatable test scenarios.

SSD performance and endurance values are only comparable when they are based on the same test methods and conditions. This application note explains common measurement methods, programs, and terminology to help evaluate data sheet specifications more accurately and select the right SSD for the intended application.
