Silicon Power UD70 PCIe Gen3x4 M.2 2280 1TB SSD Review

Storage/SSD by stefan @ 2021-03-02

The UD70 mainstream SSD from Silicon Power is QLC-based but also uses DRAM caching and a Phison PS5012-E12S-32 controller, succeeding to keep writing speeds over 100MB/s after the SLC pseudo-cache has been fully occupied. With the SLC cache emptied, it can reach the rated speeds without any issues at all, making it an ideal upgrade for mainstream desktops/laptops which need a performance jump from regular 2.5’’ SSDs.

3D QLC NAND: More Storage, Less Space

With 3D QLC NAND storage technology, the UD70 PCIe Gen 3x4 incorporates a much higher memory cell density, allowing for greater storage capacity on a smaller footprint – up to 2TB. Plus, NVMe 1.3 support, read speeds up to 3,400MB/s, and write speeds up to 3,000MB/s make this M.2 2280 SSD a force to be reckoned with. As an overall cost-efficient option, the UD70 is truly an all-around performer that's perfect for DIY system builders, casual gamers and video editors, and simply those who are looking to upgrade their PC.

Keep It Cool: Dual Self-Cooling System

The UD70 is specially engineered with a dual self-cooling system that operates via active state power management (ASPM) and autonomous power state transition (APST). In addition, thermal throttling effectively monitors and controls the temperature to prevent sudden speed drops or damage of stored data caused by high temperature. With these advanced mechanisms in place, the UD70 will always keep its cool to sustain a safe and optimal level of performance, which translates to a longer and more reliable lifespan.

Powered by Multiple Technologies For Optimum Performance

The UD70 supports SLC Caching and DRAM Cache Buffer to improve sequential read/write and random read/write performance. Built-in low-density parity check (LDPC) coding, End-To-End (E2E) data protection, and RAID engine data protection all work to provide enhanced data transmission accuracy and access reliability, while AES 256-bit encryption ensures data security.

A System Upgrade With Room For More

With an M.2 2280 (80mm) form factor, the UD70's compact size allows for easy installation in laptops, small form factor PC systems, and some ultrabooks. And with 3 different capacity options (500GB, 1TB, 2TB), it's an easy upgrade that can greatly expand your system's storage potential based on your needs and budget, while also saving space for other components.
