Key Features
4KB Random Read
The maximum number of input/output operations per second that a storage device can perform when reading data randomly. This metric indicates how quickly the device can retrieve small, non‑sequential pieces of information and is useful for evaluating performance in database or high‑transaction workloads.
Up to 170,000 IOPS
4KB Random Write Up to 130,000 IOPS
Ajax
The total storage capacity of the product expressed in terabytes (TB). This value represents how many terabytes of data can be stored on the device, regardless of its form factor or interface. It is a numeric quantity without units attached to the attribute itself; the unit is implied by the name.
2
Burnaby
Represents the storage capacity of a device, typically expressed in terabytes (TB). The value may be an exact number or a range such as "10+" to indicate at least that amount. It is used for hard drives, SSDs and other storage media.
10+
Capacity
The total amount of space or volume that a product can hold, expressed in an appropriate unit such as GB, MB, TB for digital storage or L, ml, cl for liquid capacity. This attribute helps users compare how much content a device or container can accommodate.
256GB
Device type
The general classification of a product, such as tablet, smartphone, router, or computer. It indicates the primary function or form factor that helps buyers quickly identify and compare similar items.
Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
Form factor
Specifies the physical configuration or design of a product, such as ATX, Micro‑ATX, Mini‑ITX, tower, case with cover, etc. It describes how the device is built and what mounting or expansion options it supports.
M.2 2280
Interface
A list of physical or logical interface standards that the product can use to connect with other devices, such as USB, PCI Express, SATA, Ethernet, Thunderbolt, DisplayPort, and similar technologies.
NVMe
Manufacturer warranty
The length of time that the manufacturer guarantees a product will be free from defects in materials and workmanship. The value is expressed as a numeric quantity with an associated unit such as years, months or days.
5 Year (Limited Warranty)
Max Sequential Read
The highest rate at which a storage device can read data sequentially, expressed in bits per second or common abbreviations such as MB/s or GB/s. This value indicates how quickly the device can retrieve large contiguous blocks of data for tasks like file copying or media playback.
2,050 MB/s
Max Sequential Write
The highest rate at which a storage device can write data continuously in a non‑interrupted operation, expressed as a data transfer rate such as megabytes per second (MB/s) or gigabits per second (Gbps). This metric indicates the fastest sustained write performance achievable under optimal conditions and is useful for comparing devices that perform large, sequential writes.
700 MB/s
Max Shock Resistance
The highest mechanical shock level that a product can endure while remaining functional, expressed as an acceleration value in g‑forces. The measurement is typically taken at a specified duration and waveform, such as a half‑sine pulse of 0.5 ms. This attribute helps consumers assess the durability of a device in environments where vibration or impact may occur.
1,500G @ 0.5 ms half sine
Max Vibration Resistance
A textual description of the maximum vibration level a component can withstand while remaining functional, including operating and non‑operating conditions such as acceleration values, frequency ranges, and axis count.
Operating: 5.0 gRMS, 10-2000 Hz, 3 axesNon-operating: 4.9 gRMS, 7-800 Hz, 3 axes
Memory
The amount of random‑access memory (RAM) physically installed in a device, expressed as a data size such as megabytes or gigabytes. It indicates how much information the system can hold for active processes and affects multitasking performance.
TLC
MTBF
The average time a product or component operates before experiencing a failure, expressed in hours. It is used to assess reliability and predict maintenance intervals.
1.75M hours
Newmarket
The total count of SATA interfaces available for connecting storage devices such as hard drives or solid‑state drives. This number indicates how many SATA devices can be installed simultaneously on the motherboard or enclosure.
3
Power Consumption Active
The electrical power drawn by a device while it is actively performing tasks, expressed in watts (W) or milliwatts (mW). This value represents the typical energy usage during normal operation and can be used to estimate operating costs or compare efficiency across similar products.
135 mW (Avg.)
Power Consumption Idle
The electrical power drawn by a device when it is powered on but not performing any active tasks, expressed in watts (W). This value represents the minimal energy usage during idle or standby periods and can be used to estimate background consumption or compare efficiency across similar products.
50 mW (Low Power Mode PS3)5.5 mW (Low Power Mode PS4)
Type
The general category or style of the product, such as laptop, printer cartridge, or cooling fan. It helps buyers quickly identify the nature of the item and compare similar products.
