The measurement of the V Series SATA SSD 120GB was carried out on Windows. Similar read and write speeds could certainly be achieved with the V Series SATA SSD 120GB under Linux and MacOS. Of course, the correct hard drive driver should be installed and the correct interface for the V Series SATA SSD 120GB should be used.
The V Series SATA SSD 120GB is a solid-state drive (SSD) produced in the V Series range. This SSD is suitable for a wide range of applications, especially for users looking for a cost-effective but powerful storage solution to improve system speed and reduce data access times. The V Series is typically designed to offer good value for money, especially for upgrades from older HDDs (hard disk drives).
General Description
The V Series SATA SSD with 120 GB capacity offers solid performance for users who are planning to upgrade from traditional hard drives to an SSD or who need additional storage for specific applications. The SSD is based on the SATA III interface and offers a good balance between cost and performance.
Technical Details
1. Capacity
- Storage Capacity: The SSD offers 120 GB of storage space. This capacity is sufficient for installing operating systems, common applications, and some additional data. It is ideal for users who do not need a lot of storage but still want to benefit from the speed advantages of an SSD.
2. Interface and Protocol
- Interface: The V Series SSD uses the SATA III (6 Gb/s) interface. SATA III is the latest version of the SATA standard and offers a theoretical maximum data transfer rate of up to 6 Gbps (750 MB/s). This allows for faster data transfer compared to older SATA versions.
- Protocol: The SSD uses the AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) protocol, which allows basic communication between the SSD and the computer.
3. Performance
- Sequential Read/Write Speed: The V Series SSD typically offers sequential read and write speeds, which can vary by manufacturer and model, but typically:
- Sequential Read: Up to approximately 500 MB/s
- Sequential Write: Up to approximately 300 MB/s
- Random Read/Write Speed: These speeds refer to accessing small blocks of data, which is important for overall performance in everyday applications and operating system boot times. Typically, for the V Series SSD, these speeds can be up to 40,000 IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) for random read and 30,000 IOPS for random write.
4. Build Quality and Design
- Form Factor: The SSD has the 2.5 inch form factor used in most modern desktop PCs and laptops. This form factor is the standard for many internal SSDs and is also suitable for external enclosures and adapters.
- Dimensions: The typical dimensions of a 2.5 inch SSD are approximately 69.85 mm x 100.35 mm x 7 mm (W x L x H).
- Weight: The SSD typically weighs less than 100 grams, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
5. Power Consumption
- Power Consumption: When in operation, the SSD typically requires about 2.0 to 3.0 watts, which is significantly less than the power consumption of traditional hard disk drives. When idle, power consumption is typically around 0.5 to 1.0 watts. This helps improve energy efficiency in laptops and desktops.
6. Reliability and Lifespan
- MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): The SSD is designed to last a long time and offers high reliability. The MTBF is typically around 1,000,000 hours, indicating a robust and long-lasting storage solution.
- TBW (Total Bytes Written): The SSD is also designed for a certain amount of Total Data Written (TBW), which is sufficient for typical home or office use. Typical values ​​for a 120 GB SSD can be between 50 TBW and 100 TBW.
Features
- TRIM support: The SSD supports the TRIM command, which allows the operating system to mark data blocks that are no longer needed and maintain SSD performance in the long term.
- Wear leveling: The SSD uses wear leveling algorithms to evenly distribute write operations across the entire storage area and extend the lifespan of the memory cells.
- ECC (Error Correction Code): The SSD uses error correction mechanisms to ensure data integrity and to detect and correct data errors.
- SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology): The SSD supports SMART to monitor the health of the SSD and detect potential problems at an early stage.
Area of ​​application
- Desktop PCs: The V Series SSD is ideal for desktop PCs where it can be used as the primary drive for the operating system and applications to increase system speed.
- Laptops: In laptops, the SSD improves system boot times and application performance, resulting in a better user experience.
- Upgrading HDDs: The SSD is an excellent choice for upgrading older HDDs to significantly increase system performance, especially in older computers.
- Compact Systems: Due to its size and use of SATA III, the SSD is also suitable for compact systems and external hard drive enclosures.
Summary
The V Series SATA SSD with 120 GB capacity is a high performance and cost effective storage solution that offers a significant improvement in system speed and data access times compared to traditional hard drives. With a SATA III interface, sequential speeds of up to 500 MB/s for reading and 300 MB/s for writing, and support for key features such as TRIM, ECC and wear leveling, it offers solid performance and reliability. Ideal for desktop PCs, laptops and as an upgrade from older HDDs, it offers an excellent way to improve the performance of a system.
