wear on flash memory cells.

Wear Leveling
2 Advanced algorithms distribute writes evenly across flash
memory, extending the SSD's lifespan.

TBW (Terabytes Written)


3 A metric representing the total amount of data
that can be written to an SSD before failure.
SSD Maintenance and
Optimization
Regular Defragmentation

While SSDs don't require traditional defragmentation,


optimizing their file system can improve performance.

TRIM Command Support

Operating systems with TRIM support notify SSDs


about deleted files, allowing them to optimize data
storage.

Secure Erase

Erasing all data on the SSD, restoring it to its factory


settings, can improve performance and extend
lifespan.

Increased Density Cost Efficiency
3D NAND technology stacks memory QLC technology increases storage
cells vertically, allowing for higher density by storing four bits per cell,
capacities and lower costs. reducing manufacturing costs.

PCIe 5.0
Faster Speeds
The next generation of PCIe
interfaces promises even faster data
transfer speeds, pushing the
boundaries of performance.
