The measurement of the NT-256 was carried out on Windows. Similar read and write speeds could certainly be achieved with the NT-256 under Linux and MacOS. Of course, the correct hard drive driver should be installed and the correct interface for the NT-256 should be used.
The NT-256 is a Solid State Drive (SSD) from a manufacturer that typically offers products in the storage solutions space. This SSD can be considered a model in the NT series and is likely designed for a wide range of applications, from everyday computing to more specialized applications. Here is a detailed description of the technical details, features and application areas of a typical NT-256 SSD:
Technical details
1. Capacity:
- 256 Gigabyte (GB)
2. Form factor:
- 2.5 inch (standard size for many desktop and laptop SSDs)
- Alternatively, it might be available as M.2 2280, depending on the model and the manufacturer's specific requirements.
3. Interface:
- SATA III (6 Gbit/s): Most common interface for 2.5-inch SSDs. Offers data transfer rates of up to 6 Gbit/s and is backwards compatible with older SATA standards.
- NVMe over PCIe: If M.2, it could use NVMe over PCIe, which allows for faster speeds than SATA.
4. Memory chips:
- 3D NAND Flash Memory: Most modern SSDs use 3D NAND to increase storage density and improve performance and durability.
5. Performance:
- Maximum sequential read performance: Typically up to 500-550 MB/s for SATA SSDs or up to 3,000 MB/s for NVMe SSDs.
- Maximum sequential write performance: Typically up to 450-500 MB/s for SATA SSDs or up to 2,500 MB/s for NVMe SSDs.
- Maximum Random Read Performance (4K IOPS): Typically up to 80,000 to 100,000 IOPS for SATA SSDs.
- Maximum random write performance (4K IOPS): Typically up to 70,000 to 90,000 IOPS for SATA SSDs.
6. Operating temperature:
- Typically from 0°C to 70°C
7. Power consumption:
- In operation: About 2-4 watts
- At idle: Typically lower
8. MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures):
- Approximately 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 hours
9. Lifetime and TBW (Terabytes Written):
- Approximately 100 TBW to 150 TBW, depending on usage and specific model
10. Security features:
- AES 256-bit hardware encryption: Protects stored data from unauthorized access.
Features
1. SATA III interface:
- For 2.5-inch SSDs: Provides a maximum data transfer rate of 6 Gbit/s. Backward compatibility with older SATA versions allows use in older systems.
2. NVMe over PCIe:
- If M.2 and NVMe: Offers significantly higher speeds due to lower latency and higher data transfer rates than SATA SSDs.
3. 3D NAND Flash Memory:
- Offers better performance, durability and power efficiency compared to older 2D NAND technologies.
4. High speed:
- Improves system performance through fast read and write speeds, resulting in faster boots, faster file transfers, and better application responsiveness.
5. Energy efficiency:
- Optimized for low power consumption, which is especially beneficial for laptops and mobile devices.
6. Data encryption:
- Hardware encryption protects the data on the SSD from unauthorized access and increases security.
7. Reliability:
- High MTBF values ​​and TBW ratings indicate a reliable and long-lasting storage solution.
Areas of application
1. Desktop-PCs:
- Ideal as the main disk for desktop computers to quickly load the operating system and programs and improve overall system performance.
2. Laptops and notebooks:
- Perfect for laptops due to its high performance and energy efficiency that does not put unnecessary strain on battery life.
3. Upgrade for older systems:
- An excellent way to upgrade older computers that still use traditional hard drives and significantly improve performance.
4. Fast file transfers:
- Ideal for applications that require fast write and read operations, such as video editing or large data transfers.
5. Gaming Systems:
- Improves game loading times and system responsiveness, resulting in a better gaming experience.
6. Data-intensive applications:
- For applications that require intensive data processing, such as virtualization, big data analysis or multimedia editing.
Conclusion
The NT-256 SSD offers a good balance between capacity, performance and price. With its 256 GB capacity, it is well suited for users who need solid performance and reasonable storage capacity without resorting to the latest technology. The use of 3D NAND technology and support for fast interfaces (SATA III or NVMe via PCIe) makes this SSD an excellent choice for various application areas, from everyday computing to more specialized tasks. The high speed, energy efficiency and security features help to improve the overall performance and reliability of the system.
