Samsung 470 Serial in Item

There are three versions available that range in chapters and include 64GB, 128GB and 256GB models. All three feature the same impressive 250MB/due south read performance, while the 256GB and 128GB versions merits write throughput of 220MB/south, and the 64GB version is slower at 170MB/s.

The Samsung S3C29MAX01 controller chip is utilized accompanied past two 128MB Samsung DDR2-667 cache chips (serial code "K4T1G164QE"). This cache is intended to improve small write performance and eliminate whatever 'stuttering' problems. We were surprised to detect two cache chips, one on either side of the PCB, as every SSD we have seen so far just includes a single cache chip.

The PCB used is very pocket-size and information technology would appear that Samsung could easily release a one.viii" version of the 470 Series. We haven't heard of any plans about moving in that direction, but with smaller 1.8" drives currently fetching a price premium it might prove a smart move.

As mentioned before, the wink NAND retention used on this drive is also manufactured by Samsung. Our 256GB review unit carried Samsung retentiveness labeled K9HDGD8U5M. This memory utilizes xxx-nanometer technology and in full there are xvi chips with each IC having a 16GB density.

Samsung claims a MTBF (Hateful Fourth dimension Between Failures) of 1.v million hours. This is a typical gauge that most manufacturers label their SSDs with. Additionally, Samsung claims that the drive will withstand 1500G shock resistance, besides standard amongst SSDs.

Like all solid-state drives the 470 Serial drives are very bourgeois when information technology comes to power consumption. At idle all three models use only 0.14 watts and a staggering 0.24 watts when agile. The agile ability rating is astonishing as comparatively many of the best SSDs that we have seen to date utilise between 2 and 4 watts of power when active.

The Samsung 470 Series drives measure out 100 10 69.85 x 9.50mm and weigh simply 68 grams, cheers to their slim ii.5" pattern they are ideal for both desktop and laptop computers. They are designed to work in RAID if you choose to purchase more than 1, and are backed past a limited 3-year warranty.
