The SSD supports all the latest technologies to improve stability, data protection, and performance. Our results confirm that the SSD is well-designed, and there shouldn’t be any issues during longer work.
The SSD uses HMB technology, so it doesn’t have DRAM to boost performance; instead, it uses system memory. This has advantages, as the used components don’t produce much heat, and we won’t have to worry about thermal throttling reducing performance.
Another advantage is that the FA200 series SSDs are single-sided. It doesn’t seem like anything special, but it’s very important if we wish to use a high-capacity SSD in an ultrabook or other thin laptop. Many new series are not designed for dual-sided M.2 SSDs, and installing one of those may damage the M.2 socket or motherboard’s PCB. There is no such issue with the FA200 SSD series.
The manufacturer also confirms the high endurance with a 5-year warranty. Although such long warranties are more common, most SSDs have two or three years of warranty.
The SSD arrived in perfect condition, with 0GB written on the counter and no S.M.A.R.T. warnings.
During the tests, we had no problems with temperatures, which were always below 70°C. The SSD was not showing any thermal throttling, even during extended work.
We will show you the SSD and its package on the next page.
