Note
1. 1GB = 1 billion bytes and 1TB = 1 trillion bytes. Actual user capacity may be less depending on operating environment.
3. 1 MB/s = 1 million bytes per second. Based on internal testing; performance may vary depending upon host device, usage conditions, drive capacity, and other factors. IOPS = input/output operations per second.
5. TBW (terabytes written) values calculated using JEDEC client workload (JESD219) and vary by product capacity.

Note
1. 1GB is equal to 1 billion bytes and 1TB is equal to 1 trillion bytes. Actual user capacity may be less depending on operating environment.
2. Backward compatible with PCIe Gen4 x2, PCIe Gen3 x4, PCIe Gen3 x2, PCIe Gen3 x1, PCIe Gen2 x4, PCIe Gen2 x2, and PCIe Gen2 x1
3. 1 MB/s is equal to 1 million bytes per second. Based on internal testing, performance may vary depending upon host device, usage conditions, drive capacity, and other factors. IOPS is equal to input/output operations per second.
4. Average Power is measured using MobileMarkTM 2025 on Windows 11 Pro (version 10.0.22621 Build 22H2)
5. TBW (terabytes written) values calculated using JEDEC client workload (JESD219) and vary by product capacity.
6. MTTF is equal to Mean Time To Failure based on internal testing using TelcordiaTM stress part testing (Telcordia SR-332, GB, 25oC). MTTF is based on a sample population and is estimated by statistical measurements and acceleration algorithms. MTTF does not predict an individual drives reliability and does not constitute a warranty.
7. This drive is in compliance with the European Union Directive 2011/65/EU and Directive (EU) 2015/863 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment.
8. Operational temperature is defined as temperature reported by the drive. Note that drive temperature readings are expected to be higher than ambient temperature when the SSD is placed inside a system. The SSD box package is rated up to 60oC.
9. Non-operational storage temperature does not guarantee data retention.
