Hiksemi Wave Pro P Series 256GB M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe Gen3x4 SSD

About Hiksemi Wave Pro P Series 256GB

The Hiksemi Wave Pro P Series 256GB M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe Gen3x4 SSD is a compact, high-speed solid-state drive designed to significantly improve system performance, particularly in personal computers, laptops, and compatible gaming consoles.

This SSD utilizes the M.2 2280 form factor, making it suitable for modern, space-constrained devices. It connects via a PCIe Gen3x4 NVMe interface, which allows it to bypass the performance limitations of older SATA connections. The drive uses 3D TLC NAND flash technology.

Performance metrics for the 256GB model typically indicate:

Sequential Read Speed: Up to 3,230 MB/s (Megabytes per second).

Sequential Write Speed: Up to 1,240 MB/s (Megabytes per second).

Random Read IOPS (4K): Up to 195,000 IOPS.

Random Write IOPS (4K): Up to 210,000 IOPS.

These high speeds translate into much faster boot times, quick application loading, and rapid data transfer compared to traditional SATA SSDs or hard disk drives (HDDs).

The Wave Pro P Series is marketed with features that emphasize stability and durability. It is designed with shock resistance and an electronic chip control system, making the data more secure than with mechanical drives.

Total Bytes Written (TBW): An endurance rating of 112 TBW.

MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): A rating of 1,500,000 hours.

Power Consumption: A low maximum power consumption of around 1.6W.

The drive's use of advanced SSD controller technology and 3D NAND Flash is intended to ensure both data safety and consistent read/write speeds, making it a reliable and budget-friendly upgrade option for users seeking substantial performance improvement.
