The ADATA SWORDFISH is a PCIe Gen3x4 M.2 2280 SSD featuring 3D NAND Flash memory with storage capacities of up to 2TB and read performance of up to 1800 MB / s and write up 1200 MB / s although these transfer rates depend on the storage capacity of the SSD, the largest being the fastest.
ADATA SWORDFISH and FALCON SSDs
Its PCIe Gen3x4 interface complies with the NVMe 1.3 standard and the M.2 2280 specification makes it compatible with both Intel and AMD platforms for both desktop and laptop. It has an SLC cache that provides 4K random read and write performance of 180K IOPS.
The 3D NAND Flash that integrates the SWORDFISH model has greater efficiency and durability compared to the old 2D NAND. Its storage capacities range from 250GB to a maximum total of 2TB, and all models incorporate data protection and correction technologies to prevent it from being corrupted. This LDPC (Low-Density Parity-Check) error correction technology manages to detect and correct errors to guarantee the integrity of the data. 256-bit AES encryption keeps data password protected to prevent data theft.
Heatsinks to always offer maximum performance
To reduce its temperatures, it incorporates an aluminum heatsink with a beautiful gray design that makes even the most intense tasks continue to offer the best possible performance.
In the specifications we find an SSD of dimensions 80 x 22 x 3.5 mm with a weight of 10.5 grams, an operational temperature of 0 to 70 degrees, storage between -40 to +85 degrees Celsius and a shock resistance of 1500G with an estimated time between failures of 1,800,000 hours.
The ADATA FALCON is the top of the range for professionals with sustained read speeds of 3100 MB / s and writing of 1500 MB / s. In the section of the random read and write speeds you get the same results as the SWORDFISH model with 180K IOPS.
In the specifications section we find small differences with respect to the SWORDFISH which are measures of 80 x 22 x 2.9 mm and 9 grams of weight and a TBW of up to 1200TB. The aluminum heatsink of this model is gold in color, also differentiating it in color from the SWORDFISH.
Free software for its management
Both ADATA FALCON and SWORFISH have a 5 year warranty and come with free ADATA software which is the SSD Toolbox & Migration Utility which allows users to monitor and manage disk status, wear level and information of useful life. The migration utility is intended for users who need to pass the data from their hard disk to this SSD, since it is capable of performing complete unit migrations including the operating system. It also has a utility
