corruption in the NAND, SRAM, and DRAM memory. The Intel® SSD
DC S3500 Series also helps protect the data in transit through
several techniques such as parity checks, Cyclic Redundancy Checks
(CRC) and LBA tag validation. Once an error is detected, an
immediate attempt will be made to correct it, and any uncorrectable
error will be reported to the host. To further improve data
assurance, the Intel® SSD DC S3500 Series provides data
redundancy technology to minimize potential data loss.
