Specifications

Advanced 3D NAND Technology

The Ultimate SU800 leverages cutting-edge 3D NAND Flash architecture that stacks memory cells vertically, providing higher storage density and improved reliability compared to traditional 2D NAND. This innovative technology enables the SSD to deliver superior performance while maintaining excellent cost-efficiency. The 3D NAND structure also contributes to better power management and enhanced durability, making it an ideal upgrade for both notebooks and desktop PCs.

Intelligent Performance Enhancement

Equipped with intelligent SLC caching and a DRAM cache buffer, the SU800 optimises data handling for demanding applications. The SLC caching algorithm temporarily converts TLC cells to SLC mode for frequently accessed data, dramatically improving write performance. Combined with the DRAM cache buffer, this technology can effectively double the performance of SSDs without dedicated cache memory, particularly beneficial for intensive tasks like video editing or large file transfers.

Comprehensive Data Protection

The Ultimate SU800 incorporates advanced LDPC ECC (Low-Density Parity-Check Error Correcting Code) technology that significantly reduces data errors and enhances data integrity. This sophisticated error correction mechanism provides superior protection against data corruption compared to basic BCH correction found in many standard SSDs. Additionally, the SSD supports RAID Engine and Data Shaping technologies, ensuring data integrity and extending the drive’s operational lifespan for long-term reliability.

Energy Efficiency and Quiet Operation

With DEVSLP (Device Sleep) technology support, the SU800 achieves exceptional power efficiency, consuming only 8% of the power that traditional HDDs use in idle mode. During regular operation, it uses 80% less power than mechanical drives. This translates to longer battery life for laptops and reduced electricity costs for desktop systems. The solid-state design also eliminates moving parts, resulting in completely silent operation and improved system reliability.
