Key Points

• DuraWrite extends the endurance of your Solid State Drive (SSD)
• Intelligent Block Management & Wear Leveling automatically distributes data evenly across the entire SSD
• Intelligent Read Disturb Management spreads the active read/write across the flash components eliminating data corruption caused by constant use
• Intelligent "Recycling" for advanced free space management gradually re-writes data across the SSD over time to ensure data never gets corrupted
• RAISE (Redundant Array of Independent Silicon Elements) protects the data on your drive similar to having a RAID setup
• Best-in-Class ECC protection for longest data retention and drive life
