What's The Phoenix Blade All About?

G.SKILL released a Phoenix Blade 480 GB PCIe SSD with ultra fast Read/Write speed and IOPS. The PCIe SSD has been built upon x4 LSI SF-2281 SSD controllers setup in RAID 0, then combined with NAND it offers a fast 480 GB SSD array that can manage speeds of up-to 2,000 MB/sec and 245K IOPS. 

PCIe Gen 2.0 x8 Interface

G.SKILL Phoenix Blade PCIe SSD is designed with a PCIe Gen 2.0 x8 high-speed interface, allowing the system to effortlessly send massive amounts of data to and from the SSD and drastically improves performance for professional and industrial graphic applications. With 480 gigabytes of storage capacity, the G.SKILL Phoenix Blade PCIe SSD is pushing the maximum limit of read and write speeds at up to 2,000MB per second, so large data transfers are faster than ever.

G.SKILL Phoenix Blade PCIe SSD delivers an incredibly fast 245K IOPS! Experience the performance boost in data intensive processing, such as professional graphic/industrial design and HD multimedia content creation software applications. TRIM and SCSI UNMAP support with major Windows OS versions help maintain consistent write performance, reduce flash deterioration, and most importantly, extend drive life expectancy. Not to mention an extensive set of S.M.A.R.T. attributes allow users to monitor the drive’s health, allowing users to take preventative measures against possible data loss. 

Enhanced Data Protection

CRC data protection prevents data corruption during data transfers. By implementing BCH ECC of up to 55 bits per sector and RAID-5-like data protection, flash cell errors and page/block failures are yesterday’s news. The G.SKILL Phoenix Blade PCIe SSD includes a 3-year limited warranty and full technical support from their tech support team.
