ZOTAC Expands enthusiastically product with ultrafast PCIe SSD SONIX NVMe

Nonvolatile memory express EXPR -0.69%, or NVMe is an interface specification designed specifically for fixing solid state storage media - as NAND flash - to computers via PCI Express. Part of the reason became NVMe is because the SSDs quickly began to clash with the limitations of inheritance, and the ubiquitous SATA interface. In real-world situations, for example, the SATA interface reaches a maximum of approximately 550 MB / s, which many solid-state drives input level can now be achieved with sequential reads. NVMe is not bound by that limitation, specification and incorporates many other things, as a maximum depth of upper tail, to squeeze more storage media such solid performance.

There are a number of SSDs, based on PCI Express excellent NVMe available, like the Intel SSD 750 series, among others, but a new player is entering the fray - ZOTAC. ZOTAC is known for its enthusiast-class NVIDIA NVDA -0.69% based graphics cards, and a wide range of small form factor PCs, but the company has been steadily expanding its offerings to include motherboards, accessories and SSDs . To date, the SSD ZOTAC were of the "variety SATA 2.5, but the company has just introduced an ultra-high performance PCIe-based unit dubbed the SONIX NVMe.
ZOTAC showed his SONIX SSD at CES last month, although the design has not been completed at that point. The SONIX is now ready for primetime, however, and its specifications are fairly beefy to say the least.

Initially, the ZOTAC SONIX be offered with a capacity of 480 GB. The unit is packing a Phison controller E7, paired with 512 MB of DDR3 memory cache memory, and NAND flash MLC Toshiba, and is equipped with a PCIe Gen 1.2 NVMe 3 x 4 interface. The entire assembly is wrapped in an envelope of air circulation, metal that not only protects the PCB low profile, but it helps dissipate heat. I should also note that because all that is in itself no wires or cables need to be connected to the SONIX. It just has to be installed in a PCIe slot supports (and is used with a compatible operating system NVMe).

At this point the package is reporting ZOTAC read speeds in the range of 2.6 GB / s, and write speeds up to 1.3 GB / s. Those numbers are strong in the light of other PCIe based SSDs currently on the market NVMe, and blow any SATA SSD out of the water. ZOTAC expects the SONIX that will be available soon, and the units are guaranteed for 3 years, but street prices was not available at the moment. I hope the car competitive with Intel 750 SSD preciosSerie, well south of the mark $ 1 per GB, however.
