This SSD belongs to the Kingston A2000 series which features high performance at a competitive price. Here is a comprehensive description of the technical details, features and application areas of the Kingston SA2000M8500G.
Technical Details
1. Model Name: Kingston SA2000M8500G
2. Capacity:
- 500 GB (Gigabytes)
3. Form Factor:
- M.2 2280: This is the standard form factor for NVMe SSDs which has a length of 80 mm and a width of 22 mm. The M.2 form factor allows direct mounting on the main board (motherboard) without additional cables.
4. Interface:
- NVMe 1.3: The SSD uses the NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) protocol, which communicates over the PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) interface. The Kingston SA2000M8500G uses PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 for a high data transfer rate.
5. Data Transfer Rates:
- Read: Up to 2200 MB/s (Megabytes per second)
- Write: Up to 2000 MB/s (Megabytes per second)
- These speeds are ideal for tasks that require high IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) and fast data transfers.
6. Controller:
- The controller for this SSD is the Phison PS5010, which is known for high performance and efficiency in NVMe SSD applications.
7. NAND Type:
- 3D NAND: The Kingston SA2000M8500G uses 3D NAND flash memory which offers higher storage density and improved performance compared to 2D NAND. This improves the durability and reliability of the SSD.
8. Storage Channels:
- Quad-Level Cell (QLC) or Triple-Level Cell (TLC): Depending on the model, the SSD may use either QLC or TLC NAND. TLC NAND offers better performance and durability compared to QLC, while QLC enables higher storage density and lower cost.
9. Operating Temperature Range:
- 0°C to 70°C: This ensures the SSD operates reliably in a wide range of environments.
10. Storage Temperature Range:
- -40°C to 85°C: For storage when not in use.
11. MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures):
- Typically over 1.5 million hours, indicating high reliability.
12. Protection measures:
- ECC (Error Correction Code): To protect against data corruption.
- SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology): For monitoring drive status and lifetime.
