ADATA Falcon 1Tb NVMe specifications

Posted on November 07, 2022 by Raymond Chen

ADATA's Falcon works on PCIe M.2 3.0 x 4 interface. Read below about this SSD on this site.

Falcon (1Tb) produced by ADATA use Realtek RTS5762D. The internal SSD storing a data location map on DRAM SLC Caching Host Memory Buffer to run a games faster. The Falcon comes equipped with 3D TLC memory. This drive also available in three capacities: 256 Gb, 2 Tb and 512 Gb volume sizes.

Performance and benchmarks

Drive use PCIe M.2 3.0 x 4 with sequential read speeds 3100 Mbps, and maximum write speeds equals to 1500 Mbps. This model has input/output performance 180000 on reading and 180000 on writing operations.

Endurance and warranty

Manufacturer provide 5 years warranty period that limited by 1200 Total Bytes Written. As well it has 1.8 million hours MTBF.

FAQ

The ADATA Falcon has SLC Caching Host Memory Buffer. Which means that the storage uses the system's random-access memory for its personal operations. DRAM in their controller help to improve input/output performance and endurance.

The ADATA Falcon due to the low density of memory chips can run with no extra heat sinks. Some laptops or motherboards already has thermal pads below and above the SSD for better performance during heavy loads.

The Falcon 1Tb has maximum write speed 1500 Mbps, read speed 3100 Mb/s. NVMe run on Realtek RTS5762D controller and M.2 3.0 x 4 interface standard. The NAND memory type is 3D TLC.
