New PCIe 4.0: Future-Level Performance That Performs Now

Taipei, Taiwan – June 15th, 2020 – Spring into the future with our new PCIe 4.0. Offering a standard data transfer rate that’s double that of the previous 3.0 version, the US70 PCIe Gen 4×4 with 3D NAND flash memory and NVMe 1.3 support is exactly what combative gamers, competitive overclockers, professional designers/editors, and high-end business users crave. With incredible read and write speeds up to 5,000MB/s and 4,400MB/s, respectively, the US70 is nearly 10 times faster than traditional SATA III SSDs. It provides next-level specs that will be competitively relevant for the future, while also being backwards-compatible with PCIe 3.0 too.

Powered By Multiple Technologies For Optimum Performance

• NVMe 1.3 support allows for higher performance, lower latency, and lower power consumption

• Features wear leveling to equalize the wear of each NAND flash block, ensuring longer reliability and stability of the SSD

• Built-in bad block management (BBM) mechanism detects and marks bad blocks in the NAND flash to avoid storage in those blocks and eliminate access errors

• Includes over-provision (OP), which increases the SSD’s reserved space to improve performance and durability as well as to reduce NAND flash wear, therefore extending the lifespan of hard drives

• Supports SLC Caching and DRAM Cache Buffer to improve sequential read/write and random read/write performance

• Built-in E2E data protection for enhanced data transfer integrity

• Engineered with low density parity check (LDPC) coding to ensure accuracy of data transmission and reliability of data access

• Supports TRIM commands, enabling the SSD to efficiently manage reusable space as well as significantly reduce hard drive wear out

• Features our proprietary S.M.A.R.T. software for operational monitoring at any time
