Previously the fastest SSD Flash Drive in the market could transfer data at tops speeds of 6 Gigabytes per second (6GB/s). Using cutting edge technology, Seagate has broken that record by making a new SSD Flash Drive capable of data transfer speeds of up to 10GB/s.
For the end users, replacing your mechanical hard drive with an SSD will result to improve speed performance on your computer. However, this latest cutting edge SSD from Seagate with data transfer speeds of up to 10GB/s will suit the need of users with the need for processing massive data in real-time and in as fast as possible. Such as large-scale cloud service providers, statistical trend analysis or weather modeling.
The Seagate SSD drive will work with any system that supports the Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) protocol; Seagate developed that in partnership with other hard-disk vendors to replace the legacy Serial AT Attachment (SATA) technology. The NVMs reduces information bottlenecks associated with SATA by reducing the number of layers of commands creating a faster and simpler language between the flash drives.
