MyDigital MYDIGITALSSD SBX PCIe 3.0 X2 NVMe 2280 M.2 SSD 256GB [MDNVME80-SBX-0256]

MyDigital MDNVME80-SBX-0256 Description:

MyDigitalSSD Super Boot eXpress (SBX) PCIe 3.0 x2 NVMe SSDs are changing the conversation from MB/s to GB/s - unleashing speeds over 3X faster than SATA SSDs with up to 1.6GB sequential read and 1.3GB/s sequential write. Upgrading to a MyDigitalSSD SBX M.2 SSD offers added flexibility for PC enthusiasts, gamers, and system designers thanks to a thin, single-sided 80mm (2280) form factor that conserves space for other components in today's thinner and lighter devices. Get the most out of your Notebook / Ultrabook / NUC mini PC / All-In-One / Desktop workstation with GB/s performance from the SBX series

NVMe (Non-Volatile Media Express) is an SSD storage interface that sheds the burden of legacy AHCI commands for uncompromised performance that saves power even throughout data-intensive workloads over a 3-year period.

With a lower latency than that of today’s traditional hard disk drives and SATA SSDs, SBX drives create a more responsive computing experience.
 

MyDigitalSSD SBX drives use a 16GB/s dual-lane PCI Express 3.0 (PCIe) interface to get more from your computing experience; delivering exceptional throughput performance and latency for a consumer solid state drive.

SBX PCIe Gen 3 x 2 lane drives are backward compatible with PCIe Gen 2 and Gen 1 interfaces; limited only by each respective bandwidth.
 

The Phison E8 (PS5008-E8) controller was designed to provide an improved user experience at a competitive cost, without sacrificing quality. The E8 safeguards data with thermal throttling, end-to-end data path protection, Phison's proprietary StrongECC algorithm, and SmartECC engine to detect and correct data corruption while sustaining drive performance and low power consumption.

Additionally, the E8 controller offers power loss protection with GuaranteedFlush to prevent in-flight data loss from sudden power interruptions, advanced security features including Secure Erase, and support for APST / ASPM / L1.2 power saving modes, a key requirement for next-generation notebooks.
 

MyDigitalSSD SBX drives can be used as a boot device in a variety of systems with a free PCIe 2.0/3.0 M.2 socket, including Z97 / X99 / Z170 / Z270 based motherboards, modern notebooks, and small form factor PC's like the Intel NUC.

They can also serve as added ultra-high-speed storage in virtually any desktop with a spare PCIe slot combined with a PCIe adapter.
