Maximum Endurance Rating
The maximum amount of data that a storage device can write before it is expected to fail, expressed in terabytes written (TBW). This value indicates the endurance capacity of the drive and helps users estimate its lifespan under typical usage conditions.
400
Maximum operating shock
The highest acceleration that a product can withstand during operation, expressed as a force in grams (G) and optionally including the duration of the shock event. This attribute indicates the mechanical robustness of the device or component under dynamic loading conditions.
1500
Maximum Random Read 4K
The maximum number of 4‑kilobyte random read operations that a storage device can perform in one second, expressed as IOPS (input/output operations per second). This metric indicates the device’s ability to handle small, non‑sequential data requests and is commonly used to compare performance across SSDs, HDDs, and other storage media.
330,000 IOPS
Maximum Read
The highest rate at which a device can retrieve data from storage or memory, expressed in bits per second (bps) or commonly used abbreviations such as MB/s or GB/s. This value indicates how quickly the device can access information for processing or transfer.
3,500 MB/s
Maximum Write
The highest rate at which a device can write data to storage or memory, expressed in bits per second (bps) or commonly used abbreviations such as MB/s or GB/s. This value indicates how quickly the device can transfer information for writing operations and is useful for comparing performance across models.
