On that note, those numbers were provided by the CrystalDiskMark benchmark. Not the best, but not bad either, especially when the capacities can go as high as 1 TB (128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, 1 TB is the full list).īesides, most speed ratings don't reflect real life performance anyway. Finally, performance is maximized due to an off-loading controller and DDR resources.Īt the end of the day, the SanDisk X300 SSDs should be able to attain read and write speeds of 530 MB/s and 470 MB/s. It protects data by implementing “page-level striping with distributed parity.” In layman’s terms, it means your data won't be so easily lost. Multi-Page Recovery (MPR) is another asset built into the X300 SSD line. Corporate workloads like financial transactions, media creation and office applications should benefit because of that.Īnd with the variety in form factors that we already mentioned, SanDisk has essentially covered all possible types of office computers. SLC and X3/TLC flash blocks are essentially combines, leading to an improvement to endurance and efficiency. It's an interesting sort of capability crossover. They also boast the Ncache 2.0 tiered caching architecture, which supports SLC cache memory, boosting productivity and overall performance.

This line of solid state storage devices is composed of 2.5-inch, mSATA and M.2 solid state drives, all of which are designed from TLC NAND. TLC, or triple-level cell NAND, was the result. So SSD makers have been experimenting with the option of multiplying the cells per chip.

While SLC offers some endurance benefits, among other things, it also limits storage capacity. There are other types of chips as well, and we're not talking about SLC here (single-level cell). MLC is just the standard name for the two-level cell NAND chip architecture. Most solid state drives use MLC (multi-level cell) NAND flash chips and some sort of cache technology or other, but SanDisk didn't want its latest storage units to just be lost in the crowd, so it took some liberties.
