Dahua 2TB 2.5 Inch SATA SSD (DHI-SSD-C800AS2TB) – Detailed Overview

The Dahua DHI-SSD-C800AS2TB is a high-performance, large-capacity SSD built for speed, reliability, and endurance. Designed for professionals, content creators, and gamers in Kenya, it provides ample storage with exceptional data transfer rates. Perfect for system upgrades or performance builds, this SSD delivers dependable storage backed by Dahua’s advanced NAND Flash technology, now available in Kenya from Passcode East Africa Techverse Limited.

Blazing SATA III Performance

The Dahua 2TB SSD supports SATA III 6Gb/s interface, offering sequential read speeds up to 550 MB/s and write speeds up to 510 MB/s. This ensures fast boot times, quick data access, and efficient multitasking across demanding applications — from editing large video files to running virtual machines.

Cutting-Edge 3D NAND Flash Memory

Built with 3D NAND Flash and wafer-level chip fabrication, this SSD offers high density, enhanced endurance, and faster response. It minimizes wear and tear while maintaining consistent performance, making it ideal for heavy daily workloads and large-scale data storage environments.

Enhanced Data Optimization and Reliability

Equipped with intelligent data management features, the Dahua C800AS2TB ensures stable long-term operation:

• S.M.A.R.T monitoring provides drive health tracking and predictive analysis.

• TRIM support improves write efficiency and extends the SSD’s service life.

• NCQ (Native Command Queuing) enhances multitasking by optimizing command execution.

• Garbage Collection cleans up unused data blocks automatically to sustain top-tier performance.

Power Efficiency and Endurance

Despite its large capacity, the SSD maintains low power consumption—just 2500 mW under load and 960 mW when idle. This efficiency contributes to lower operating temperatures and extended laptop battery life. Its MTBF of 1,500,000 hours and TBW of 800TB guarantee long-lasting stability and reliability for continuous operation in demanding environments.

Compact Design and Compatibility

The SSD comes in a 2.5-inch form factor (100.2 × 69.9 × 7.0 mm), ensuring wide compatibility with both laptops and desktops. The lightweight 40g design, coupled with vibration resistance (10–200Hz, 0.5G) and operating temperature range from 0°C to 70°C, makes it perfect for use in Kenya’s diverse environments.
