7. Other Features:
- Warranty: 5 year limited warranty
- Security Features: AES-256-bit hardware encryption, end-to-end data path protection
Features
- PCIe 3.0 x4 Interface: The SSD utilizes the PCIe 3.0 x4 interface, which enables a data transfer rate of up to 32 Gb/s. This enables high speeds for read and write operations, although PCIe 4.0 models offer even higher speeds.
- NVMe 1.3 Protocol: The NVMe 1.3 protocol enables better performance and lower latency compared to older protocols. This results in faster response time and more efficient use of storage space.
- QLC NAND Technology: QLC (Quad-Level Cell) stores four bits per cell, resulting in higher storage density and therefore higher capacity at a lower price. QLC NAND is more cost-effective but may have lower durability and write speed compared to TLC or MLC.
- AES-256-bit Hardware Encryption: The integrated hardware encryption protects data with strong encryption, which increases data security and ensures the protection of sensitive information.
- End-to-End Data Path Protection: This feature ensures the integrity of data by protecting against data corruption that could occur during transmission.
Application area
The Intel SSDPEKKW512G8 is versatile and particularly suitable for:
1. Desktop PCs:
- Upgrade and performance increase: Ideal for desktop PCs to achieve a significant improvement in boot times, application loading times and overall performance.
2. Laptops:
- Performance increase and energy efficiency: Can be used as an upgrade for laptops to improve performance while optimizing energy consumption, contributing to longer battery life.
3. System and program drives:
- Primary drive: Perfect for the operating system and frequently used applications to ensure fast access times and fast system responses.
4. General purpose storage:
- Data and multimedia storage: Also suitable for storing data, multimedia files and less intensive workloads where the price per GB of QLC NAND is an advantage.
5. Cost-Effective Storage Solutions:
- Value for Money: The 512GB capacity offers good value for users who need high performance at a lower price without needing the highest speeds of PCIe 4.0 models.
Summary
The Intel SSDPEKKW512G8 is a high-performance and cost-effective NVMe SSD that uses the PCIe 3.0 x4 interface and NVMe 1.3 protocol to deliver solid performance with speeds of up to 1,800 MB/s for read and write operations.
