CDRLabs kicks off the week with a review of Silicon Power's latest PCIe SSD, the P34A60. This M.2 form factor drive is powered by Silicon Motion's SM2263XT controller and is available with up to 2TB of Micron's 64-layer TLC 3D NAND flash. The P34A60 also utilizes HMB (Host Memory Buffer) and an SLC Cache to deliver high and efficient performance as well as LDPC (Low-Density Parity Check) error correction, End-To-End (E2E) data protection and a RAID engine for enhanced data integrity and stability. To top it all off, the P34A60 is equipped with an ultra-fast PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe 1.3 interface and is capable of 2,200 MB/s read and 1,600 MB/s write speeds.

Verbatim is launching a range of M.2 2280 internal SSDs, delivering high speeds and low power consumption for desktop, Ultrabook and notebook client upgrades.

Utilizing 3D NAND technology combined with the latest generation of controller, Verbatim M.2 SSDs provide the perfect way to improve the response times of your system – offering faster start up, shut down and loading times to smooth multi-tasking.

Vi3000 NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD

The NVMe interface has been designed specifically for SSD technology to get the maximum performance by reducing bottlenecks and latency times. Verbatim’s Vi3000 NVMe PCIe M.2 SSDs takes full advantage of this, producing super-fast read / write speeds of up to 3,100 / 2,900MB/s respectively, which is 50 times faster than a regular hard drive.

Vi560 S3 M.2 SSD

For those without the NVMe PCIe interface, Verbatim’s Vi560 S3 M.2 SSD can really breathe new life into an older system by upgrading a tired mechanical hard drive or a legacy 2D NAND SSD. With read / write speeds of up to 560MB/s / 520MB/s (which is 10 times faster than a hard drive), they can truly transform the performance and productivity levels of any hard drive-based PC or laptop computer.

Portable SSDs should be just that: portable. If you’re looking for a reliable way to offload lots of footage from your DSLR or drone and more while on-the-go to keep it in safe hands, look no further than our new PC60. It strikes the right balance between size, performance, and design.

Square In Shape, Not In Design
At just 80mm square, the PC60 is one of our most portable-friendly portable SSDs yet. It fits snugly in the palm of a hand and comfortably slides into a pocket, unnoticed, thanks to its slim 11mm profile. It's also surprisingly lightweight. The shock-resistant structure, which can withstand minor drops and bumps, and the convenient keyhole design, which allows it to easily attach to keychains or bags, both complement its intent to be an on-the-go back-up storage solution.
