1. General Descriptions
1.1 Introduction
Apacer AS350 SSD (Solid State Drive) consists of semiconductor devices using 3D TLC NAND flash
memory that provide excellent reliability and high performance for storage media. Apacer AS350
does not contain any moving parts such as platter (disk) and head media, and thus it makes the
better storage solution with higher performance, reduced latencies and low power consumption for
notebooks, tablets and industrial PCs. Apacer AS350 delivers all the advantages of flash memory
technologies and is fully compliant with the Serial ATA I/II/ III (SATA) inter face and standard 2.5-inch
storage drive form factor.
1.2 Performance
Performance of Apacer AS350 SSD is listed below in Table 1-2.
Table 1-1 Performance Specifications
Note:
Results may differ from various flash configurations or host system setting.
*Sequential performance was measured using ATTO with SATA 6Gbps host.
