  • Sequential Read Speed: Up to 550 MB/s

  • Sequential Write Speed: Up to 500 MB/s

  • Random Read/Write IOPS: Moderate (specific values not officially published).

• Endurance: Rated for 120 Terabytes Written (TBW), suitable for general consumer workloads.

• Reliability Features:

  • S.M.A.R.T. monitoring

  • TRIM support for sustained performance

  • Advanced ECC (Error Correction Code)

  • Garbage Collection

  • Thermal monitoring and protection.

• Power Consumption: Lower than traditional HDDs, enabling better battery life in laptops.

• Warranty: 3-year limited warranty or until TBW limit is reached.

• Use Case: Ideal for casual users upgrading from HDDs or older SSDs, light to moderate workloads, OS boot drive, application loading, and gaming.

• Limitations:

  • DRAM-less design can cause reduced sustained write performance under heavy loads.
