Specifications shows sequential reads of 560 MB/sec, the writing 400 MB/sec, random reading 60,000 IOPS, the writing 70,000 IOPS for the smallest model with an endurance of 70 TBW, the 256 GB pushes 560 MB/sec, 510 MB/sec and ~80,000 IOPS with 140 TBW. Then the biggest 512 GB models are rated at 560 MB/sec, 520 MB/sec, ~81,000 IOPS and 280 TBW. Furthermore, it improves reliability and durability by RAID (Drive Array Accelerator) engine and data shaping function.
The M8VG will be available starting June 28th.
LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) technology ensures safety and integrity of data transmission by with its excellent error correcting mechanism. Furthermore, the M8V Series supports RAID Engine (Drive Array Accelerator) and Data shaping (Data management) for enhanced data transfer stability.
