1. Warranty valid for five years from the original date of purchase or before writing the maximum total bytes written (TBW) as published in the product datasheet and as measured in the product’s SMART data, whichever comes first.
2. Some of the storage capacity is used for formatting and other purposes and is not available for data storage. 1 GB equals 1 billion bytes. Not all capacities available at initial launch.
3. Typical I/O performance numbers as measured using CrystalDiskMark® with a queue depth of 64 and write cache enabled. Fresh out-of-box (FOB) state is assumed. For performance measurement purposes, the SSD may be restored to FOB state using the secure erase command. System variations will affect measured results.
