True Speed Quality 3-Year Warranty & Service True Speed 1. Top performing server-class controller Supports the all-new SATA Interface Fully supporting the latest generation of the SATA 6Gbps standard, with up to 500 MB/s transfer rate. NCQ Optimized HD Reading Mechanism Boasts NCQ to support the most advanced computing systems. After activating NCQ, users will notice obvious improvements in performance with faster computer loading and data transfer rate. SATA 6Gb/s data transfer rate is much faster than SATA 3Gb/s ATTO benchmark - Win7 CrystalDiskMark 3.0 - Win7 Server Grade (Marvell) Control Chip The server-class Marvel, 88SS9174 controller chip delivers extensive product life, data security, and stability, and also has excellent read-write performance with both compressible and non-compressible data making it the best choice on the SSD market. All 0 or all 1 blocks of test data All 1 blocks of test data Random 2. The best Japanese compoments, advanced Toggle NAND flash memory from Toshiba Implemented with one hundred percent cooperation from Toshiba, the drives use the industry's highest quality NAND flash memory delivers transmission rates of 133Mbps, triple those of traditional SDR technology, contributing to high system performance. The design also adds support for 1.8V power to the standard 3.3V for excellent low-power consumption characteristics. Toshiba's much acclaimed Japanese-made NAND components offer the maximum numbers of reads and writes ensuring that the SSDs we produce are fast, ultra-reliable, and have long life spans. 3. Our exclusive, innovative firmware technology continuously delivering maxium hardware performance Instant Restore Exclusive "Instant Restore" technology addresses the users' main concern about SSDs - performance slowdown after a continued use. Instant Restore maintains the read/write speed of the SSD drive at the initial level. Clean Drive Dirty Drive TRIM command Supports the latest "Windows TRIM command", providing more efficient data wipe-out methods, to overcome the common SSD problem of slower data processing times after long-term usage. Coupled with Plextor's unique "Instant Restore" function, users can expect more stable performance than from any other brand! Providing the most complete restore function, ensuring more stable SSD performance Global Wear Leveling The Global Wear Leveling Technology uses the most efficient data allocation method, to ensure that data is distributed evenly across the drive's memory blocks. Reducing memory cell wear-out, increasing the life span of the SSD product, and preventing drive slowdown after long-term utilization. Bad Block Management Algorithm This ensures that every byte of data is stored at functional locations in the flash memory, which minimizes reading errors and improves efficiency and work performance. 512MB DDR3 Cache Buffer Boasts a 512MB DDR3 cache serving as a temporal storage buffer, the DDR3 high-speed transfer interface will reduce seek/read/write time of flash memory so that data is transferred more quickly. The large-capacity temporal storage space reduces the possibility of frequently-modified data entering the flash memory system, which prolongs product lifespan. 512MB DDR3 cache buffer also stabilizes SSD for more powerful computing performance! Quality Stringent testing for every drive Every Plextor SSD is built to exacting standards and thoroughly tested to ensure that it is manufactured to our impeccable quality demands. Before leaving the factory, each device is subjected to the most stringent tests in the industry. These include a over 20 hours in high temperature burn-in test and the rigors of the industry's premier-level FLEXSTAR® testing machine to simulate the real working environment. Plextor SSD devices are of the highest quality, as borne out by the 0.59% average annual failure rate (AFR), the lowest in the industry. Service Full Plextor support - Instantaneously service delivered Plextor delivers SSD not only with its products but also with its after-sales service.
