Notes:
(1) 1MB/s = 1 million bytes per second. IOPS = input/output operations per second. Based on internal testing; performance may vary depending upon host device, usage conditions, drive capacity, and other factors.
(2) 1GB = 1 billion bytes and 1TB = 1 trillion bytes. Actual user capacity may be less depending on operating environment.
(3) Over 2x more power efficient than 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB SANDISK Optimus GX PRO 850X NVMe SSDs.
(4) TBW (terabytes written) values calculated using JEDEC client workload (JESD219) and vary by product capacity.
(5) Requires motherboard BIOS or third-party software to enable.
