EDGE™ Boost Express SSD - PCIe 2.0 x2
EDGE™ Boost Express Solid State Drives (SSD) is an enterprise grade solution designed to replacement aging spinning disk hard drives. Utilizing the exceptionally fast PCI Express (PCIe) interface, Boost Express SSD are faster, lighter, more durable, and more reliable when compared to hard drives. Boost Express SSDs are fully bootable and compatible with PC, Mac, and Linux systems with an available PCIe slot (x2 or higher).
Utilizing a premium SandForce controller, the Boost Express SSD can achieve ultra fast read and write speeds of up to 825MB/s and 810MB/s respectively. In comparison to hard drives, SSDs can decrease system boot times by up to 5x.* Fast read/write speeds, coupled with a 100,000 max IOPS rating, provide incredible performance gains in boot times, file transfers, and software application loading.
With no moving parts, Boost Express SSDs are less susceptible to mechanical failures than hard drives. This also results in lower power consumption, lower heat emission, and completely silent operation.
The feature rich-SandForce controller comes standard with robust tools such as S.M.A.R.T., Garbage Collection, wear leveling, and ECC to promote stability and reliability. SandForce-exclusive functions - Durawrite and RAISE - further enhance data efficiency and increase the lifespan of the SSD.
*Based on EDGE testing results. Performance may vary depending on OS, configuration, etc.
**Consult your computer's manual to ensure drive encryption is a supported function of the BIOS.
Exceptional Performance - Ultra fast read and write speeds - substantial performance gains in file access, application loading, and more. Typically up to 5x faster boot times compared to hard drives.
Extreme Durability - No moving parts - more durable and reliable than traditional hard drives that use a spinning disk.
Low Power Consumption – Longer notebook battery life, more energy efficient, and runs cooler than hard drives.
Ultra-Secure – Utilizes full Disk Encryption (FDE). AES hardware encryption secures 100% of data when enabled.*
Feature-Rich – SandForce Driven—Includes a full complement of performance and stability enhancing features: TRIM, ECC, Garbage Collection, S.M.A.R.T., Durawrite, RAISE and more. Compatible with Windows, Linux and MAC OS X environments.
*Consult your computer’s manual to ensure drive encryption is a supported function of the BIOS.
