ADATA Falcon 2Tb SSD detailed specs

Posted on November 07, 2022 by Raymond Chen

ADATA's Falcon NVMe works on PCIe M.2 3.0 x 4 expansion standard. Read below about this NVMe on our page.

ADATA's 2Tb Falcon NVMe SSD use Realtek RTS5762D. This NVMe SSD has DRAM SLC Caching Host Memory Buffer to keep a map of where data is located on the SSD. The Falcon comes equipped with 3D TLC memory. This NVMe also available in three capacities, including 512 Gb, 1 Tb and 256 Gb.

Performance and benchmarks

NVMe SSD works on PCIe M.2 3.0 x 4 bus with sequential read speeds 3100 MB/s, and write speeds equals to 1500 MB/s. This model has input/output performance 180000 on reading and 180000 on writing operations per second.

Endurance and warranty

ADATA provide 5-year warranty limited by 1200 Total Bytes Written. As well it has 1.8 million hours mean time between failure.

Conclusion

Falcon (2Tb) produced by ADATA use previous bus standard that is undoubtedly slower than PCIe 4.0. The sequential write speed is 1500 Mbps, that is slower than has most of competitors. The NVMe has endurance 1200 TBW, that is not much in comparison with rivals. Weighing all these factors, ADATA Falcon 2Tb has more minuses and we do not advise to have it.

FAQ

The ADATA Falcon has SLC Caching Host Memory Buffer. Which means that the SSD uses the host system's random-access memory for its own needs. Dynamic Random-Access Memory in their controller help to improve endurance and IOPS.

The ADATA Falcon due to the high density of memory chips require the installation of extra heat sink. This would reduce temperature of the memory chips and controller. Some laptops or motherboards designed with additional cooling above or below the SSD to enhance productivity during heavy loads.

The ADATA Falcon has write speed 1500 Mb per second, maximum read speed 3100 Mb per second. It run on Realtek RTS5762D controller and M.2 3.0 x 4 high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard. The memory type is 3D TLC.
