128GBGB ADATA SU800 SATA M.2 2280 3D Nand SSD
The SU800 M.2 2280 fits on a compact PCB and slots directly into M.2 ports, which are increasingly common on desktop PCs and the standard on notebooks. It uses 3D NAND with an SMI controller and fits up to 1TB. Unlike 2.5" SSDs, it does not require cables and only needs very minimal power, supplied straight from the motherboard. The direct motherboard link also helps reduce latency and increase performance by roughly 10% compared to 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s drives. The SU800 M.2 2280 reaches 560 MB/s read and 520MB/s write. It also lasts longer than 2D NAND drives, with an MTBF (mean time between failures) of 2,000,000 hours versus 1,500,000.
Packed with performance-enhancing and data integrity-ensuring
features
The SU800 M.2 2280 integrates a DRAM Cache for speed acceleration on demand,
complemented by SLC Caching mode (single-level cell performance). For data
integrity and safety, LDPC (low density parity check) error correction, RAID
Engine, and Data Shaping are deployed, the latter helping even out read/write
cycle loads to prolong SSD lifespan.
Extremely power efficient – and easy on batteries
Like all M.2 cards, the SU800 needs very little power to operate. It helps
extend battery life on notebooks and reduces overall system power requirements
for users building a desktop PC. The drive uses DEVSLP (Device Sleep) technology
to go into a dormant, extra low-power state when idle to reduce energy
consumption even further.
An immediately obvious upgrade
For users moving from 3.5" and 2.5" mechanical drives, the SU800
M.2 2280 offers a striking increase in performance combined with a massive
reduction in drive size, noise, heat, and energy draw. Even for SATA 6Gb/s SSD
users, it presents a much simpler, neater, and more reliable SSD solution that
is well worth considering. Like other ADATA SSDs, the Ultimate SU800
M.2 2280 includes licenses for SSD Toolbox drive management and Migration
Utility data migration apps.
