Seagate BarraCuda 510 NVMe SSD, PCIe 3.0 M.2 Type 2280 - 1 TB [ZP1000CM3A001]

The reason for this is not least the technical superiority of the Seagate SSDs, above all this Seagate BarraCuda 510 in M.2 format with 1 TB capacity, with stacked 3D NAND TLC memory cells, faster PCI Express 3.x connection with 4 Lanes and support for the NVM Express 1.3 protocol can come up. The new BarraCuda 510 series offers faster data throughput, lower power consumption and a higher total bytes written than the previous series.

The Seagate BarraCuda 510 NVMe SSD, PCIe 3.0 M.2 Type 2280 - 1 TB at a glance:
- Modern M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD with 1 TB capacity
- Extremely fast 3400/3000 MB / s when reading / writing
- Total 600,000 / 600,000 IOPS 4KB Random Read / Write (QD32)
- Phison PS5012-E12 controller with 8 channels & 3D NAND TLC
- Guaranteed write volume (TBW): 640 TB (until then 5 years manufacturer guarantee)

Seagate BarraCuda 510 NVMe SSD with decent read and write speed
The new Phison PS5012-E12 controller of this fast drive supports four PCI Express lanes of the 3.x standard, which make a theoretical maximum of around 3900 MB / s possible! In conjunction with the built-in 3D-NAND TLC, the 1 TB version of the Seagate BarraCuda 510 NVMe SSD achieves an enormous 3400 MB / s reading and 3000 MB / s writing as well as fantastic IOPS values of 600,000 in 4KB read or 600,000 in 4KB-Write. The modern Phison controller chip provides an enormous boost when increasing durability.

Highly efficient 3D NAND TLC memory cells
With the 3D-NAND TLC memory of the BarraCuda 510 NVMe SSD, the memory cells are stacked in a cylindrical shape in several layers. As a result, on the one hand, larger amounts of memory with higher read and write speeds are possible with a smaller area of the memory blocks, and on the other hand, the service life of the memory is increased and the energy efficiency improved. The 3D-NAND TLC now has 64 instead of 48 layers. As a result, the BarraCuda 510 NVMe SSD is only equipped on one side, which means that it has increased compatibility and can be installed in many notebooks.
