1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
1.1 OVERVIEW
SimpleTech’s Zeus Ultra DMA Solid State Drives (SSDs) incorporate advanced Single-
Level Cell (SLC) NAND flash memory technology to deliver state-of-the-art, non-volatile
mass storage devices. Additional software device drivers are not required. Zeus SSDs
are available in both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch form factors, with standard 44 and 40 pin IDE/
ATA interfaces, respectively. Zeus SSDs are fully ATA-5 compliant and conform to the
same mechanical and mounting requirements as standard rotating drives—making Zeus
SSDs easy-to-install, drop-in replacements for standard IDE/ATA-compliant hard disk
drives (HDDs).
At the heart of the Zeus SSD is the Zeus controller IC—providing the ATA interface to the
host, and the IDE interface to the drive’s local flash storage media. The Zeus controller’s
integrated DMA controller interfaces with system memory to facilitate the seamless
transfer of data between the host and the SSD.
