The measurement of the SSD 128GB was carried out on Windows. Similar read and write speeds could certainly be achieved with the SSD 128GB under Linux and MacOS. Of course, the correct hard drive driver should be installed and the correct interface for the SSD 128GB should be used.
A 128GB SSD (Solid State Drive) is a compact storage solution that can be used in a wide variety of applications. Below you will find a detailed description, technical details, features and typical application areas for a 128GB SSD.
Technical details:
1. Capacity:
- 128 GB (Gigabyte)
2. Form factor:
- 2.5 inch: The standard form factor for internal SSDs, commonly used in laptops and desktops.
- mSATA: A more compact form used in older laptops and some tablets.
- M.2: A newer form factor that plugs directly onto the motherboard and comes in two variants: SATA and NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express).
- PCIe: In the M.2 variant, offers higher speeds by using the PCIe bus.
3. Interface:
- SATA III (6 Gb/s): The most common interface for SSDs, offers a maximum transfer rate of up to 6 Gb/s.
- M.2 SATA: Uses the SATA III interface via the M.2 form factor.
- M.2 NVMe: Uses the PCIe bus for higher speeds (up to 32 Gb/s).
4. Performance:
- Sequential read speed: Typically between 200 MB/s and 550 MB/s, depending on model and interface.
- Sequential write speed: Typically between 100 MB/s and 500 MB/s.
- Random Read/Write Speed ​​(IOPS): Varies by model, but commonly between 30,000 and 100,000 IOPS.
5. Memory chip technology:
- NAND Flash: The most common storage technology used in SSDs. Variations include 2D NAND, 3D NAND or NAND TLC (Triple-Level Cell), MLC (Multi-Level Cell), SLC (Single-Level Cell), depending on performance requirements and cost.
6. Cache:
- DRAM Cache: Some SSDs have a DRAM cache that can improve performance on random reads and writes. These can range from 256 MB to 1 GB in size.
7. Service life and reliability:
- MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): Typically several million hours.
- TBW (Terabytes Written): The amount of data that can be written before the SSD potentially fails. For a 128GB SSD, this is often around 50 TBW to 150 TBW.
- ECC (Error Correction Code): Used to detect and correct data errors.
Features:
1. High Performance: SSDs offer faster data access times compared to traditional HDDs, resulting in faster booting and faster access to applications and data.
2. Low Latency: Fast response times make SSDs ideal for applications where speed is important, such as gaming or video editing.
3. Energy Efficiency: SSDs consume less power than HDDs, which extends laptop battery life and reduces heat generation.
4. Robustness: Since SSDs have no moving parts, they are more resistant to shock and vibration.
5. Quiet operation: Compared to HDDs, which generate noise due to spinning disks and moving read/write heads, SSDs operate silently.
Areas of application:
1. System Drive: Ideal for installing the operating system, resulting in faster boot and faster application launch times.
2. Upgrade for older computers: A 128GB SSD can replace an existing HDD in an older laptop or desktop, significantly increasing overall performance.
3. Mobile device storage: Commonly used in tablets, ultra-thin laptops and other portable devices where size and weight are a concern.
4. Backup Solutions: Can be used as an external drive to back up important data, especially when combined with an external USB enclosure.
5. Entry-level solution: As a cost-effective entry-level solution for users who want to upgrade from HDD to SSD without requiring larger capacity.
Special features:
- Compact size: The 128GB storage offers a good balance between capacity and cost for users with lower storage needs.
- Good performance for everyday tasks: The speed of 128GB SSDs is sufficient for most applications, including web browsing, office work, and running programs.
- Affordable: Compared to larger SSDs, the 128GB SSD offers a cost-effective way to improve performance without spending the money on larger capacities.
Conclusion:
The 128GB SSD is a versatile and high-performance storage solution suitable for a wide range of applications. It offers significant performance improvements over traditional HDDs and is a cost-effective choice for users looking for a good balance between price and performance. With faster booting, better response times and low power consumption, it is ideal for system upgrades, mobile devices and everyday storage needs.
