FAQ
The Nighthawk Prototype 4Tb has no Dynamic Random-Access Memory in their controller or data about it is not known. Dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) in their controller help to increase endurance and IOPS.
The Nighthawk Prototype 4Tb due to the high density of memory chips requires installation of extra heat sink. This will lower temperature of the memory chips and controller. Some motherboards or laptops designed with thermal pads below and above the storage for improving productivity during heavy loads.
The ADATA Nighthawk Prototype has maximum write speed 12000 Mb/s, sequential read speed 14000 Mb per second. SSD works on SiliconMotion SM2508 controller and M.2 5.0 interface standard.
