Technical details
1. Model Number: WDS500G3X0C-00SJ
2. Capacity: 500 GB (Gigabytes) – Provides enough storage for the operating system, applications, games and personal data.
3. Form Factor: M.2 2280 – This is the common form factor for NVMe SSDs, designed to be installed directly on the motherboard in laptops and desktop computers. The numbers 2280 mean that the SSD is 22mm wide and 80mm long.
4. Interface: NVMe 1.3 – A modern interface connected via the PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) bus and enabling high data transfer rates.
5. Protocol: NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) – A protocol specifically designed for SSDs to maximize the performance of flash memory and provide very low latency and high IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second).
6. PCIe Version: PCIe 3.0 x4 – The SSD uses four PCIe version 3.0 lanes, allowing a maximum theoretical bandwidth of up to 4 GB/s.
7. Read Speed: Up to 2050 MB/s – The maximum speed at which data can be read from the SSD.
8. Write speed: Up to 1650 MB/s – The maximum speed at which data can be written to the SSD.
9. TBW (Terabytes Written): Typically 200 TBW – The amount of data the SSD can safely write over its lifetime before the likelihood of failure increases significantly.
10. MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): About 1.75 million hours – The average time between two failures of the SSD, indicating high reliability.
Features
1. High Performance: With NVMe and PCIe 3.0 technology, the WDS500G3X0C-00SJ delivers fast read and write speeds, resulting in fast system boot-ups, rapid data access, and responsive applications.
