960GB 2-way PCI-e SFF SSD

960GB 2-way PCI-e SFF SSD

Ultra fast SSD performance for PC and Mac* desktop computers. Boot, save, launch, and multi-task faster…it’s like adding a turbo charger to your PC!

When speed and capacity are your priorities, the award-winning VisionTek 960GB PCI Express SSD was engineered to exceed your expectations. It combines the expert praised reliability and performance of two LSI® SandForce® processors utilizing DuraClass™ technology in a RAID 0 (stripe) configuration to deliver insanely fast data transfer rates up to 815MB/s. While ordinary SSDs connect via the SATA interface, the VisionTek PCIe SSD installs easily into any open PCIe x2 or higher slot for up to 4x greater bandwidth. So whether you’re a hard-core gamer, a spreadsheet wizard, or a creative professional, the VisionTek 960GB PCIe SSD will rock your digital world.

The VisionTek 960GB PCIe SSD isn’t just about speed however. The robust ECC algorithm and RAISE™ technology protect your irreplaceable files while efficient block management and reduced write amplification ensure long drive lifespan. Drive health is monitored using an SSD-specific set of S.M.A.R.T. attributes. All these features add up to peace of mind data protection.

The VisionTek PCIe SSD Is Perfect For

  • Power users
  • Home offices
  • Gamers
  • Digital Photographers
  • Creative Professionals

The VisionTek PCIe SSD Benefit

  • No moving parts…silent and cool operation.
  • Very low operating and standby power use.
  • Excellent shock, vibration, and temperature resistance.
  • Extreme IOPS per Watt improvement.
  • Up to 50x faster than HDD… virtually zero spin up or seek times.
  • Designed to deliver SATA 6G speeds, yet backward compatible to SATA 3G and 1.5G.
  • Long lifetime use for lower ownership cost… up to 1.5 million hours before replacement needed.

DuraClass Technologies Key Features

  • DuraWrite™: extends the drive endurance by 20x or more compared to standard SSD controllers.
  • Advanced Wear Levelling & Monitoring distributes data evenly across the entire drive.
  • Advanced Read/Disturb Management safeguards against data corruption by spreading read/write cycles across the flash components.
  • Intelligent garbage collection "recycling" maintains optimal write speeds by clearing blocks of unneeded data during off-peak usage times.
  • RAISE (Redundant Array of Independent Silicon Elements) protects the data on your drive from flash block failures without typical RAID inefficiencies.
  • Superior error correction (ECC) protection for longest data retention and drive life.
