  • Communication Protocol

    Most SSDs use SATA III or PCI Express.

    Almost all 2.5" SSDs connect via SATA III while most M.2 SSDs connect via PCI Express.


    PCI Express connection offers higher speeds, but this is mainly noticeable in demanding applications (high-resolution video processing, transferring large files, etc.) and is not necessary for everyday use.

    SATA III

    Modern hard drive connection standard.

    The majority of SSD hard drives use this standard. The motherboard must support it for the disk to operate at its maximum potential.

  • Write Speed

    Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data recording. The larger the size, the faster the data recording.

    For an SSD that uses the SATA III protocol, the average recording speed is 300MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 1200MB/s.

    These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

  • Read Speed

    Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data reading. The larger the size, the faster the data reading speed.

    An average reading speed for an SSD using the SATA III protocol is 600MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 2000MB/s.

    These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

Description

Description

More than just good results. Equipped with a high-quality controller to ensure excellent system performance. A perfect boot drive significantly reduces boot time while speeding up the loading and response process of applications.

Incredible speed: The ultra-fast SATA III 6Gb/s interface offers amazing sequential speeds of up to 560MB/s reading and 530MB/s writing, allowing for faster application loading.

SLC Cache Technology: The S56 specifically replaces the "cache" SLC technology, adopting a new caching architecture that combines both flash blocks, SLC and TLC. This leads to higher writing efficiency.

Internal Auto-Copy Technology: This technology allows the automatic copying of the SLC cache to TLC NAND blocks internally without using a controller or DDR, promoting greater efficiency and reducing the load on the controller and DRAM memory.

Increased durability: The S56 is one of the lightest and thinnest SSDs of its kind. It is shock and vibration resistant because it contains no moving parts.
