Slim Specs Table

SLC Endurance for Demanding Workloads

SLC memory provides superior endurance compared to TLC or QLC alternatives. This drive carries a TBW rating of 1000, which suits frequent write operations. In practice, this reduces the risk of cell degradation over time. It is a solid choice for archival or database tasks.

Compatible with Legacy Systems

The drive supports a wide range of operating systems. It works with Windows 7 through 11, various Mac OS X versions, and Linux Kernel 2.6.33. Because it uses a standard SATA interface, it fits most desktops and laptops with 2.5″ bays. However, you should verify your system has a spare SATA port and cable.

Consistent Performance Profile

Sequential read speeds reach 530 MB/s, with writes at 470 MB/s. These figures are typical for SATA III and provide smooth system responsiveness. Also, the MTBF is rated at 1,500,000 hours, indicating long-term reliability. This performance is stable under the operating temperature range of 0–70 °C.

Physical Design and Build

The drive measures 69.9 mm width, 100 mm depth, and 7 mm height. It uses a 5 V operating voltage and features a Black and Gold finish. Furthermore, it resists shock up to 1500 G and vibration up to 20 G. These specs help protect data during transport or movement.
