SanDisk X300s M.2 SSD, SATA 6G M.2 type 2280-128 GB [SD7UN3Q-128G-1122]

With the introduction of the 9-Intel chipsets, a new connection has become popular, the M.2 slot, which was formerly known as NGFF. When M.2 can - depending on the mainboard and SSD model - either PCI Express lanes or the SATA 6G interface to be used, the latter variant not fast during data transfer is as per classic SATA connector. The advantage lies in the lower dimensions of M.2 SATA SSD compared to a 2.5-inch model as well as in the fact that SATA ports are not blocked by the SSD and thus are more connections for hard drives available ,

The most recent motherboards now have at least one M.2 port and so it is only logical to use these also. Exactly for this purpose SanDisk has different M.2 SSDs in the program. In the model offered here is a 80 mm long specimen (2280), which has 128 GB of storage. Connected via SATA 6G standard and equipped with MLC NAND, the compact drive is by the 2.5-inch counterparts in nothing.

The maximum sequential read speed is high 510 MB / s, while the 128 GB SSD with up to 300 MB / s data sequentially writes. The IOPS fall correspondingly high of up to 85,000 (4KB Random Read) respectively 66,000 (4KB Random Write). SanDisk indicates a life expectancy of 2 million hours. Of course, the M.2 SATA SSDs can also excellent use in compatible notebooks and other portable devices.

With the X300s, the user receives a high-quality flash drive containing the-Microsoft hardware-based encryption (Encrypted Hard Drive) and TCG Opal 2.0. To ensure that your company details are particularly well protected and in case of theft absolutely secure. Encryption techniques often mean sacrificing performance, especially when they are based on software. Integrated in the X300s hardware crypto engine provides contrast thanks certified FIPS-197 standard and a strong 256-bit AES disk encryption for minimal performance degradation.

Note: The TRIM function is optimally supported by modern operating systems (eg Windows 7 or later.).
