FAQ

The Addlink S92 has DDR3. Dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) makes storage faster, but also more expensive.

The Addlink S92 due to the high density of memory chips requires installation of additional heat sink. This will decrease temperature of the memory chips and controller. Some motherboards already has additional cooling above or below the storage for improving performance during times of high loads.

The S92 2Tb has sequential write speed 3600 Mb/s, maximum read speed 4900 Mb per second. NVMe run on Phison PS5016-E16 controller and M.2 4.0 x 4 high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard. The memory type is Micron 3D QLC.
