The AGI Technology 512GB 2.5" SATA SSD is a solid-state drive that provides a significant performance upgrade over traditional hard disk drives (HDDs). 

Key Specifications

• Capacity: 512GB

• Form Factor: 2.5-inch, making it compatible with most laptops and desktops that have a 2.5" drive bay.

• Interface: SATA III (6Gb/s), which is the standard interface for this type of drive.

• NAND Flash: AGI uses 3D NAND flash memory, which is known for its higher density, better durability, and improved power efficiency compared to older 2D NAND technology. Depending on the specific model, it can be either TLC (Triple-Level Cell) or QLC (Quad-Level Cell) NAND.

• Sequential Read/Write Speeds: The advertised speeds are typically up to 550 MB/s for read and 510 MB/s to 519 MB/s for write. These speeds are close to the maximum theoretical limits of the SATA III interface.

• Durability and Reliability:

  • MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): 1,500,000 to 1,600,000 hours.

  • TBW (Total Bytes Written): 300 TBW for the 512GB capacity, indicating a solid lifespan for typical consumer use.

• Key Features:

  • SLC Caching: This feature helps to boost performance for short bursts of data transfer, enhancing transmission speeds.

  • Error Correction: Supports technologies like LDPC (Low-Density Parity-Check) ECC to ensure data integrity.

  • Management Features: Supports S.M.A.R.T, TRIM Command, APM, and NCQ for drive health monitoring and optimal performance.

• Warranty: AGI generally offers a 3-year warranty for their SATA SSD models.
