Slim Specs Table

SLC Technology for Consistent Performance

The SLC NAND architecture in this drive provides superior endurance compared to consumer-grade TLC or QLC alternatives. With a 1000 TBW (terabytes written) rating and 1.5 million hour MTBF, the drive maintains stable performance over its lifespan. This makes it particularly suitable for applications requiring consistent read/write speeds rather than maximum throughput.

Broad Operating System Compatibility

This drive works seamlessly across multiple platforms, supporting Windows 10, 11, 7, 8, and 8.1, along with Mac OS X versions from Tiger through Catalina, and Linux kernel 2.6.33 and later. The wide compatibility ensures straightforward installation whether you’re upgrading a desktop, laptop, or building a new system.

Rugged Design for Demanding Environments

Engineered to withstand challenging conditions, the drive operates between 0-70°C and can be stored from -40-85°C. With 1500G shock resistance and 20G non-operating vibration tolerance, it handles physical stress better than traditional hard drives. The 5V operating voltage also means lower power consumption for extended battery life in portable devices.

Compact Form Factor for Easy Installation

Measuring 100 x 69.9 x 7 mm, this 2.5″ drive fits standard drive bays in most laptops and desktops. The black and gold colour scheme offers a professional appearance, while the slim 7mm height ensures compatibility with space-constrained devices. Installation requires only a standard SATA III data and power connection.
