Frequently asked questions about this product

How much space does this Gen5 SSD take up once installed?
17.9 mm high, for 80.6 by 24.2 mm and 52.1 g: this is the point to check before anything else. This height requires generous clearance above the M.2 slot and may conflict with a CPU air cooler or a graphics card.
Does this SSD really have a built-in fan?
Yes. Double-layer aluminium alloy fins are paired with a micro fan powered directly through the M.2 connector: there is no cable to connect. Together they form an active cooling system, designed to sustain speeds over long sessions.
What speeds does the 1 TB version deliver?
13,000 MB/s read and 9,500 MB/s write. The 14,000 and 11,000 MB/s advertised for the range apply to the 2 TB and 4 TB capacities: on the 1 TB, the figures are slightly lower, as this capacity uses fewer chips in parallel.
How good are its 4 KB random IOPS?
1,700,000 read and 1,250,000 write at this 1 TB capacity. These small accesses are what make multitrack editing or a 3D render loading thousands of assets run smoothly, more than peak sequential speed.
What is the write endurance of this 1 TB version?
740 TB, or 740 full drive writes, compared with 1,480 TB on the 2 TB and 2,960 TB on the 4 TB. The mean time between failures is rated at 1,600,000 hours and the module withstands shocks of 1,500 G over 0.5 ms.
Does it work on a PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 motherboard?
Yes, it is backward compatible with PCIe 4.0 and PCIe 3.0, at reduced speed: the motherboard's bus then caps the throughput. A Gen5 platform is needed to reach the advertised 13,000 MB/s read at this capacity.
Does this SSD have its own cache memory?
Yes, a dedicated DRAM cache, backed by SLC caching. The controller is an InnoGrit IG5666 and the memory is 232-layer 3D TLC NAND, with hardware LDPC error correction ensuring the accuracy of transferred data.
Is the drive new and under warranty?
It is new and your invoice serves as the warranty document. It carries the reference SLEG-970P-1TCI, to be quoted for any return. The datasheet gives the details of the three capacities in the range.
