Description
EDGE E3 1 TB Solid State Drive – 2.5″ Internal – SATA (SATA/600) – 560 MB/s Maximum Read Transfer Rate – 5 Year WarrantyBalancing performance and reliability, the EDGE™ E3 SSD is a storage upgrade at an exceptional value. Featuring the Silicon Motion SM2246EN controller, E3 SSDs are loaded with enhancements to promote a dependable computing environment. TRIM, Wear Leveling, and ECC functions are included and optimize data processing efficiency. S.M.A.R.T. reporting and a built-in temperature sensor assist with monitoring drive health. Advanced features such as Early Bad Block Retirement and DataRefresh add an additional layer of protection to keep the E3 running at optimum performance.
Server and client ecosystems alike will benefit from the E3’s excellent transfer speeds. External DRAM is included and further enhances read/write and IOPS ratings. Improved system startup, data access, application loading, and backup times are typically realized when upgrading systems from a traditional spinning disk hard drive to an E3 SSD. The E3 is a low-power storage solution, providing improved notebook battery life and lower cooling costs in datacenters compared to hard drives.
E3 SSDs are compatible with many popular operating systems, including Windows, Windows Server, Mac OS X, Linux, and work in both SATA and SAS* environments. All E3 SSDs made in the USA, TAA compliant, and are backed by a five-year warranty.^
*Will function in a SAS environment but will not have SAS specific features.
