Providing up to 4x better sequential and random transfer performance compared to SATA III solid-state drives and lower latency than AHCI drives, GOODRAM PX500 gen.2 pumps up your PC. Performance will improve the work of the most demanding customers, offering up to 2050MB/s read. It's also perfect as a stand-alone drive, as well as an add-on hard drive in desktop and laptop computers. The capacities available for the PX500 gen.2 make the unit work in both roles.
High performance
By creating a drive based on efficient memory in 3D NAND technology, we managed to achieve sequential transfer parameters of up to 2050 MB/s for reading and 1650 MB/s for writing.
New features with NVMe
The NVM Express communication protocol was designed from the ground up to achieve fast flash media storage. Using it on a PX500 gen.2 SSD, we were able to extract maximum performance from the memory, controller and PCIe Gen 3 x4 interface. NVMe drastically reduces latency and queuing to provide much better responsiveness over AHCI-based SSD.
Heat under control
One of the problems with the M.2 SSD format is thermal throttling – performance limitation due to very high ambient temperature. To bring it under control, the PX500 gen.2 have a special coating consisting of copper and graphite. Thanks to this, we got very good heat dissipation, without increasing the size of the disk.
