ADATA Gammix S11 Series NVMe SSD, PCIe 3.0 M.2 Type 2280 - 960 GB [AGAMMIXS11-960GT-C]

Overview of the ADATA Gammix S11 Series M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD:
- Modern M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD with 960 GB capacity
- Extreme fast 3.150 / 1.700 MB / s read / write
- Total 280,000 / 310,000 IOPS 4KB Random Read / Write
- Silicon Motion SM2262 & Micron 3D TLC NAND
- Guaranteed write volume (TBW): 640 terabytes (until then 5 years manufacturer's warranty)

Only in M.2 format due to rapid PCIe 3.0 x4 connection
ADATA Gammix S11 SSD series is released in M.2 format, 2280mm (22mm width, 80mm length), and is connected via PCI Express 3.0 with 4 data lines. The classic 2.5-inch format has thus had its day, since its comparatively slow SATA-6G interface can no longer compete with the explosive performance increase of modern SSDs due to a severe bandwidth limitation (maximum net data rate of around 550 MB / s). If you want to benefit from the enormous speed potential of the ADATA Gammix S11, you must upgrade in case of doubt or use a PCI Express adapter card, which of course can be found at any time via the search function in the Caseking shop.

M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD with brute read and write speed
The Silicon Motion SM2262 controller on this fast drive supports four standard 3.0 PCI Express lanes, providing a theoretical maximum of approximately 3,700 MB / s! In conjunction with the built-in Micron 3D TLC NAND, this 240-TB version of the ADATA XPG SX6000 SSD achieves tremendous 3,150 MB / s read and 1,700 MB / s write, as well as good IOPS of 310,000 in 4KB Read or 280,000 in 4KB Write. The TLC flash cells are characterized by a high durability and speed.

Support for the NVM Express protocol for PCIe SSDs
In addition, this ADATA Gammix S11 SSD also supports the NVM Express protocol (NVMe for short), which has been specially developed for modern PCI Express SSDs. This replaces the old AHCI protocol, which dates back to before the widespread adoption of SSDs and is not optimized for highly parallelized disk accesses. NVMe provides significantly lower latencies, as well as multiple and lower command queues, which translate into significantly more performance in non-linear transfers such as 4K read / write.
