Prior to trying to contact some of the SSD vendors, I was wondering if anyone knows exactly the behavior of the super capacitors that are found on enterprise SSDs.
The question is basically, are they there to provide a few seconds of power to allow the controller to finish writes directly to NAND from the DRAM buffer (transitory data from the host to the NAND), or is there a logic which is flushing other non-transitory data to NAND?
