MyDigitalSSD 2.5 inch SuperSSpeed SATA III (6g) SLC SandForce SSD
MyDigitalSSD has teamed up with SuperSSpeeds to offer the fastest and top
performing solid state drives on the
market today. Utilizing the SandForce SF-2281 controller and SLC NAND flash, the SuperSSpeed boasts
incredible speed for advanced gaming, multitasking, and multimedia computing
power. Rated at 550MB/s Read and 520MB/s Write, the SuperSSpeed is proof that in
this day and age, you get what you pay for, being arguably 20 times better than its nearest MLC rival at only twice
the expense including accessories!
As with all MyDigitalSSD drives, the SuperSSpeed runs cool and quiet with no
moving parts to create heat. Coupled with being shockproof, meaning that
dropping your SSD or notebook no longer means losing your data, the SuperSSpeed
it a far more durable and reliable upgrade to a traditional spinning hard drive
(HDD).
Why choose SLC? SLC flash chips are rated at 100K Read/Write/Erase Cycles and offer
virtually zero distinction between compressible and incompressible data.
Conversely, MLC flash is rated at 3-5K read/write/erase cycles and gets quite
choked up when incompressible data is tossed at it.
The SuperSSpeed is backwards compatible with SATA II applications and
supports most major operating systems including Windows XP, Vista, 7, Mac
OS10.X, and Linux.

About the Controller
Today’s award-winning SandForce Driven SSDs are well known for their
performance and features. The SandForce SF-2281 the second generation of
SandForce SSD Processors - continue accelerating SSD deployment in
enthusiast and mainstream client computing platforms. The SF-2281 is an
ideal solution for portable storage applications where power consumption,
boot-up time, application performance, responsiveness, and small form factor
are important. The Client SSD Processors have integrated enhanced DuraClass
Technology that is architected to leverage today’s densest SLC and MLC NAND
flash memory. They deliver best-in-class performance, endurance, security,
and power efficiency in a “DRAM-less”, single chip solution.
Endurance and Longevity
As the geometries of each generation of flash memory evolves and shrink
in order to dramatically lower $/GB, the overall flash endurance is dropping
at a very high rate. The 2x/3xnm NAND flash memory has less than 5K P/E
cycles. The memory of tomorrow will likely be even lower than that.
DuraWrite technology optimizes writes to the flash memory over conventional
controllers increasing the overall endurance and reliability of the complete
SSD. Highly intelligent block management and wear leveling also extends the
overall endurance. With this technology, SSD manufacturers can offer their
high volume, client customers enterprise class reliability and at least
5-year lifecycles.
Performance and Power Optimization
SSDs greatly outperform traditional HDDs, and in many cases reach the
limits of the bus interface. Advanced high speed SATA interfaces have been
implemented in newer systems to remove this performance bottleneck. SSDs are
perfect to take advantage of that higher speed interface. SandForce SSD
Processors deliver performance that maximizes the throughput of a 6Gb/s SATA
interface with balanced read/write speeds. In extremely low-power
environments, the SF-2281 can tune total SSD power consumption vs.
performance by limiting the number of simultaneously active flash devices.
It also supports an ultra-low power sleep mode to maximize battery life.
Client Computing Security
Data security is becoming a critical component in the digital age.
SandForce SF-2281 SSD Processors feature high-level security protocols to
protect the security of data stored in flash memory. DuraClass technology
automatically stores data in a highly secure AES-128 hardware encrypted
format that double encrypts the data. The SF-2281 SSD Processors also
optionally support TCG Opal security requirements. An optional disk-level
password can be required prior to system boot adding an extra level of data
security assurance for business travelers carrying confidential information.
Data Protection and Reliability
The SF-2281 SSD Processors provide data protection that surpasses the
leading high-performance enterprise HDDs used today. This comes from a
combination of a superior higher-level BCH ECC algorithm with up to 55
bits/512 Byte sector protection and the unique RAISE (Redundant Array of
Independent Silicon Elements) technology. RAISE provides the protection and
reliability of RAID on a single drive without the 2x write overhead of
parity. This capability is transparent to the end-user and provides peace-of
mind for mobile SSD OEMs knowing their customer’s data is protected.
