DuraClass Technologies

  • DuraWrite Technology optimizes writes to the flash memory over conventional controllers, helping to increase the overall endurance and reliability of the complete SSD. Intelligent block management and wear leveling also extends the overall endurance. This also helps achieve a higher mean time between failures (MTBF)
  • Intelligent Block Management & Wear Leveling system automatically distributes data evenly across the entire SSD
  • Intelligent Read Disturb Management spreads the active read/write across the flash components, helping to eliminate data corruption caused by constant use
  • Intelligent "Recycling" for advanced free space management gradually re-writes data across the SSD over time to help ensure data does not become corrupted
  • RAISE (Redundant Array of Independent Silicon Elements) helps protect the data on your drive, much like having a RAID setup
  • ECC protection for long data retention and drive life
