Addlink S95 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD

The Addlink S95 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD is a high-performance PCIe Gen4 storage solution designed for gaming enthusiasts, content creators, and power users who demand fast, reliable, and high-capacity internal storage. Built around the NVMe 1.4 protocol and a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface, the S95 delivers sequential read speeds of up to 7000 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 6800 MB/s, making it significantly faster than SATA III drives in bandwidth-intensive workloads. The drive uses 3D TLC NAND flash memory paired with an external DDR4 @2666 DRAM cache, which helps sustain consistent performance during extended read and write sessions. Random read performance reaches up to 700,000 IOPS, supporting fast boot times, rapid application launches, and smooth multitasking on compatible platforms. The S95 is fully backwards compatible with PCIe Gen3 x4 motherboards, giving users a smooth upgrade path regardless of platform generation. Addlink has equipped the S95 with a robust set of data integrity and endurance technologies. SmartECC™ provides the-fly error correction at the controller level, while SmartRefresh™ proactively refreshes stored data to help prevent bit errors over time. Thermal throttling protects the drive during sustained high loads, and advanced flash management features including Wear Leveling, Bad Block Management, TRIM, SMART monitoring, and Over-Provisioning work together to maximise usable lifespan. End-to-end data path protection further guards against silent data corruption. The 2TB capacity variant carries a rated endurance of 1400 TBW (Terabytes Written) and a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) rating of 1.8 million hours, both of which indicate a drive built for long-term daily use. A 5-year warranty (or 1400 TBW, whichever comes first) is included. The addlink M.2 PCIe SSD Toolbox software is included, enabling users to monitor SMART status, check drive health, run diagnostics, view firmware and specification details, and perform a secure erase from within a simple interface.
