Seagate IronWolf NVMe SSD, PCIe 3.0 M.2 Type 2280 - 960 GB

The reason for this is not least the technical superiority of the Seagate SSDs, especially this Seagate IronWolf 510 in M.2 format with 960 GB capacity, the stacked 3D NAND TLC memory cells, faster PCI Express 3.0 connection with 4 lanes and Support for the NVM Express 1.3 protocol can come up. The IronWolf 510 series offers fast data throughput with low power consumption and an enormous total bytes written. In addition, Seagate offers free data recovery in the event of a failure as part of its professional rescue program.

The Seagate IronWolf 510 NVMe SSD, PCIe 4.0 M.2 Type 2280 – 960 GB at a glance:
– M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD with 960 GB capacity for use in professional or NAS systems
– High over-provisioning for faster and more secure data transfer
– Fast 3150/1000 MB / s reading / writing
– Total 345,000 / 28,000 IOPS 4KB Random Read / Write (QD32)
– SK Hynix controller with 8 channels & 3D-NAND TLC
– Guaranteed write volume (TBW): 1.75 PB (up to then 5 years manufacturer guarantee)

Seagate IronWolf 510 NVMe SSD with decent read and write speed
The new SK Hynix-Control of this fast drive supports four PCI Express lanes of the 3.0 standard, which make a theoretical maximum of about 3600 MB / s possible! In connection with the built-in 3D-NAND TLC, the 960 GB version of the Seagate IronWolf 510 NVMe SSD achieves a good 3150 MB / s reading and 1000 MB / s writing as well as decent IOPS values of 345,000 in 4KB read or 28,000 in 4KB write. Thanks to over-provisioning, i.e. reserving part of the storage capacity for the controller, the performance increases with high workloads or, especially with cache storage in NAS systems, when storage space becomes scarce.

Highly efficient 3D NAND TLC memory cells
With the 3D-NAND TLC memory of the IronWolf 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 IronWolf 510 NVMe SSD is particularly suitable for use in NAS systems with 10 GBit / s network connection as cache memory. But this NVMe SSD also cuts a fine figure in professional streaming systems or workstations. As part of its rescue program, Seagate offers two years of free data recovery in the event of a failure.
