Axiom C550n 500GB SATA-III Solid State Drive (SSD2558X500-AX)

Features The Axiom C550n is a high-performance SATA 6Gb/s SSD ideally suited for cost-effective, small form factor and low power client and industrial storage solutions for PCs, Ultrabooks, Tablet PCs, and other embedded applications. Featuring the Silicon Motion SM2258 controller and quality 3D TLC NAND, these SSDs are loaded with enhancements to promote a high performing and reliable computing environment. TRIM, Wear Leveling, Static Data Refresh, and LDPC ECC functions optimize data processing efficiency. S.M.A.R.T. and a built-in temperature sensor assist with monitoring drive health. The 3D TLC SSD provides outstanding transfer speeds. Improved system startup, data access, application loading, and backup times are typically realized when upgrading systems from a traditional spinning disk hard drive to a 3D TLC SSD. SLC Cache is included and further enhances read/write and IOPS ratings. The 3D TLC SSD is an ultra-low-power storage solution with DevSleep support, providing improved notebook battery life and lower cooling costs in datacenters. 3D TLC SSDs are compatible with any operating system and work in both SATA and SAS environments.
