SanDisk 256GB Western Digital PC SA530 SATA 6Gb s 3D NAND TCG Opal 2.01 2.5" 7mm Internal Solid State Drive

The SanDisk 256GB Western Digital PC SA530 SATA 6Gb/s 3D NAND TCG Opal 2.01 2.5" 7mm Internal Solid State Drive delivers high performance, high capacity, and superior endurance. It expends less power than previous generations of SATA solid state drives and combines Western Digital’s state-of-the-art 96-layer 3D NAND technology with a proven solid state drive platform. It also incorporates nCache 2.0, a tiered caching technology designed to improve responsiveness for corporate and consumer workloads. nCache 2.0 uses a combination of both SLC (single level cell) and TLC flash blocks to improve endurance, increase efficiency, and boost performance. Writing data first to the SLC cache reduces write amplification on the TLC blocks.

The PC SA530 is optimized for the demanding power management requirements of ultra-thin and small form factor products. It features Device Sleep (DEVSLP), more frequent use of low-power modes, and faster transitions between various power modes. Also included for superior error recovery, DataGuard Client provides a robust on-the-fly error handling technology.
