ADATA Technology ASX8000NP-256GM-C - A-Data SSD ASX8000NP-256GM-C 256GB SX8000 M.2 2280 PCIE NVMe

The first M.2 2280 SSD from XPG the SX8000 delivers massive speed for gaming notebooks and high-end desktops. Utilizing the super-fast PCIe Gen3x4 interface the SX8000 reaches extremely high speeds of up to 2500/1100MB per second (read/write) outperforming SATA 6Gb/s by a huge margin - several times over in fact! NVMe 1.2 qualified the SX8000 delivers superior random read/write performance and multi-tasking capabilities. It implements 3D NAND Flash which provides higher storage density and reliability compared to 2D NAND. With support for SLC Caching DRAM Cache Buffer and LDPC ECC technologies the SX8000 maintains optimized performance and data integrity during even the most intense gaming rendering overclocking or other high-demand applications. Blazing fast PCIe Gen3x4 Designed for gaming overclocking and graphics rendering the SX8000 is perfect for applications that rely on superior storage performance. It is an ideal solution for high-end systems leveraging the super-fast PCIe Gen3x4 interface to provide stunning read/write speeds up to 2500/1100MB per second. This is nearly four times faster than SATA 6Gb/s for read and over twice faster for write. The compact M.2 2280 form factor means users can easily install the SX8000 in gaming notebooks and desktop PCs with no messy cables or dedicated power leads. The SX8000 supports the latest Intel platforms helping gamers and overclockers get the most out of their systems. NVMe 1.2 certified Meeting NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory express) revision 1.2 requirements the SX8000 goes beyond high sequential throughput to excellent random performance and multi-tasking. Whether gaming rendering or overclocking the SX8000 helps maintain system stability even under the most data-hungry conditions. 3D NAND Flash - higher capacity and reliability Thanks to the flexibility of 3D NAND we can offer the SX8000 M.2 2280 SSD in diverse capacities ranging from 128GB to 1TB while keeping its compact form factor. Moreover 3D NAND outperforms 2D NAND and offers higher efficiency and reliability. All SX8000 models provide high TBW (Total Bytes Written) meaning the number of times an SSD can write its entire capacity in one lifespan. The SX8000 has a TBW rating that outranks comparable models indicating a longer-lasting SSD. Intelligent SLC Caching and DRAM Cache Buffer Intelligent SLC Caching allows NAND Flash memory to operate in single-level cell mode and boosts read/write performance. In addition with support for DRAM Cache Buffer read/write performance can be as much as double that of solid state drives that lack a DRAM cache or in other words that can't use system memory as an SSD buffer for high intensity tasks. LDPC ECC Engine for high durability LDPC (low density parity check) error correcting code has been implemented on the SX8000 leading to a massive reduction in data errors and an equal increase in data integrity. It protects your valuable content against corruption to a much greater extent than non-ECC SSDs or even SSDs that use basic BCH error correction. In addition the SX8000 has a program/erase cycle three times longer than standard SSDs due to incorporating native hard and soft decode. Together these ensure improved durability and a longer SSD lifespan.
