It’s ideal for professionals, gamers, and creatives who require a balance between speed and stability.

Advanced 3D NAND Flash Architecture

The SSD features 3D NAND Flash memory built on wafer-level technology, ensuring improved endurance, higher storage density, and consistent performance over time. This design enhances reliability under extended workloads and reduces the risk of data degradation.

Optimized Data Management with TRIM, NCQ, and S.M.A.R.T

To keep your system running efficiently, the Dahua 1TB SSD integrates advanced optimization technologies:

• S.M.A.R.T monitors the drive’s health, providing diagnostic data and performance insights.

• TRIM command helps maintain speed and prolong the SSD’s life by managing unused data blocks.

• NCQ (Native Command Queuing) increases responsiveness when handling multiple simultaneous tasks.

• Garbage Collection automatically reorganizes free space to keep performance stable over time.

Power Efficiency and Reliability

The low power consumption of just 1960 mW under load and 840 mW when idle makes this SSD ideal for energy-conscious users. It reduces system heat, ensures quiet operation, and contributes to longer laptop battery life. With a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 1,500,000 hours and Total Bytes Written (TBW) rated at 400TB, it guarantees reliable long-term performance even under heavy use.

Compact and Durable Design

Measuring 100.2 × 69.9 × 7.0 mm, this slim 2.5-inch SSD fits most laptops, desktops, and even slim computing setups. The lightweight 40g design, coupled with vibration resistance (10–200Hz, 0.5G) and wide temperature tolerance (0°C to +70°C), ensures durability in a variety of operating conditions — perfect for Kenyan environments.
