New PCIe 3.0 With State-Of-The-Art Dual Self-Cooling System
Taipei, Taiwan – July 15th, 2020 – The new UD70 PCIe Gen 3×4 is an all-around performer that’s perfect for DIY system builders, casual gamers and video editors, and simply those who are looking to upgrade their PC.
3D QLC NAND: More Storage, Less Space
With 3D QLC NAND storage technology, the UD70 incorporates a much higher memory cell density, allowing for greater storage capacity on a smaller footprint – up to 2TB. Plus, NVMe 1.3 support, read speeds up to 3,400MB/s, and write speeds up to 3,000MB/s make this M.2 2280 SSD a force to be reckoned with.
Keep It Cool: Dual Self-Cooling System
The UD70 is specially engineered with a dual self-cooling system that operates via active state power management (ASPM) and autonomous power state transition (APST). In addition, thermal throttling effectively monitors and controls the temperature to prevent sudden speed drops or damage of stored data caused by high temperature. With these advanced mechanisms in place, the UD70 will keep its cool to sustain a safe and optimal level of performance at all times, which translates to a longer and more reliable lifespan.
