Performance Specifications

The performance of a PCI-E3.1 SSD is measured in terms of sequential and random read/write speeds, both of which are crucial for different types of workloads.

Sequential Performance

Sequential read and write speeds are critical for tasks that involve large files, such as video editing or data backups. Typical speeds for a PCI-E3.1 SSD can reach up to:

• Read Speed: Up to 3,500 MB/s
• Write Speed: Up to 2,400 MB/s

Random Performance

Random read and write speeds are essential for applications that require quick access to small files, such as operating systems and applications. PCI-E3.1 SSDs typically offer:

• Random Read IOPS: Up to 500,000 IOPS
• Random Write IOPS: Up to 400,000 IOPS

Reliability and Endurance

Reliability is a crucial factor in SSDs, especially for professional and enterprise environments. The endurance of a 1.92TB PCI-E3.1 SSD is rated based on Terabytes Written (TBW), indicating how much data can be written to the drive over its lifespan.

Endurance Ratings

A typical endurance rating for a 1.92TB PCI-E3.1 SSD is:

• TBW: Up to 1,000 TBW
• MTTF: Mean Time To Failure often exceeding 1.5 million hours

Error Correction and Data Protection

Many PCI-E3.1 SSDs are equipped with advanced error correction technologies such as:

• LDPC (Low-Density Parity-Check) Coding: This helps to correct data corruption and enhance data integrity.
• Wear Leveling: This ensures that write and erase cycles are distributed evenly across the memory cells, prolonging the lifespan of the SSD.

Applications of PCI-E3.1 SSDs

PCI-E3.1 SSDs with 1.92TB capacity are versatile and can be used in various applications, including:

Gaming

Gamers benefit from faster load times and smoother gameplay experiences, as the SSD significantly reduces latency and improves asset streaming performance.
