Capacity for the Installed Library

The 1 TB capacity provides internal space for the system and its files. Plan room for the operating system, applications, game updates and working files when choosing the drive. Some of the labelled capacity is used for formatting and drive functions, so usable space depends on the operating environment. Keep a separate backup arrangement for files that need to be retained.

Sequential Transfer Performance

Sequential read: 500 MB/s. Sequential write: 450 MB/s. These are manufacturer maximum figures under the specified test conditions. Actual transfers depend on the host hardware, software, available cache, temperature and workload. Use the capacity-specific figures when comparing this drive with another option, particularly where a larger version of the same family has a different write rating.

Match the Storage Interface

The drive uses SATA III 6 Gb/s in a 2.5-inch SATA format. Check that the computer has a suitable 2.5-inch mounting position together with SATA data and power connections. The host connection determines the available link speed, so confirm the system specification before planning an upgrade.

The addlink S20 Hardware

The S20 uses 3D TLC NAND in a 7 mm-high 2.5-inch body. LDPC error correction, advanced wear levelling, TRIM, S.M.A.R.T. and end-to-end data protection form the model’s listed data-management features. The 1 TB row is rated at 500 MB/s read and 450 MB/s write. These characteristics describe the selected drive family and capacity. Use them alongside the interface and performance figures when choosing storage for a desktop or compatible notebook. Keep any service or firmware work within the manufacturer’s supported procedure and maintain a backup of important files before changing a storage installation.

Drive Care and Management

Use the drive’s supported management features and follow the manufacturer’s installation guidance. Keep important files backed up before firmware work or hardware changes. Plan the file layout around the capacity available to the operating system, and keep a separate copy of material that needs to be retained during an upgrade.
