The SSD Review made their stop at the Zotac suite to see their latest and greatest entry into the consumer storage market. On display was their 2.5″ form factor SSD line up, as well as their new PCIe SSD.
First up was the display of their 2.5″ form SSD’s, ranging in capacities from 120GB, 240GB and 480GB. These were announced later in 2015, take a look at the press release here. These SSD’s come with Toshiba MLC NAND and are controlled by a Phison controller. The 120GB version is capable of sequential read speeds of up to 520 MB/s and write speeds of up to 170 MB/s.
The 240GB and 480GB capacity was capable of sequential read speeds of up to 520 MB/s and write speeds of up to 500 MB/s. The 240 and 480GB are apart of Zotac’s Premium Edition SSD’s. Take a look below to see them proudly displayed in their modded chassis.
Last up on display was the 480GB PCIe SSD. There was only one model on display that happened to be installed in one of Zotac’s gaming rigs, so pictures are limited. We were told that the PCIe SSD is controlled by an unknown Phison controller and also features Toshiba MLC NAND. It was listed that this PCIe is capable of sequential read speeds of up to 2.5 GB/s and write speeds of up to 1,200 MB/s. Pricing was not available for the PCIe SSD, as this was at the end prototype stages, but we can expect this to hit the market in late January or early February.
We look forward to taking a much closer look at the consumer 2.5″ SSD’s as well as the new PCIe SSD.
