Transcend is releasing an SSD based on pure SLC writing. Not only does that offer nice performance in regards to IOPS, but writing one bit per cell also makes this probably the longest-lasting SSD ever with a massive 100000 P/E cycles.
Your current TLC SSD probably has 1000 to 2000 P/E cycles before cells start to die off, and that one already will last you a dozen or two in years. the 530K SSD is likely very expensive and only to be used on very specific professional workloads. The SSD as such also is only available in a 64GB and 128GB capacity. The cache based on DRAM cache, and well a pSLC cache is not needed eh? The transfer speed is 560MB/sec for sequential reading, 490MB/sec for writing, 83,000 IOPS for random reading, and 88,000 IOPS for writing. It also supports functions such as wear leveling function, block management function, garbage collection function, and LDPC ECC function. Durability is 100,000 P/E cycles and 3 million hours MTBF. It also supports extended temperatures from -20 to 75 ° C, making it ideal for embedded applications operating in harsh environments such as automated computers, machine tools, and fanless PCs.
The external dimensions are width 69.85 mm, depth 100 mm, height 6.8 mm, and weight 54 g. Weirdly enough, the product warranty is just 3 years.
