Press Release Media transfer rates reach 1288Mbit/s while noise levels stay exceptionally low – maximum seek noise is just 21dB. In addition, the combination of the SATA 3.0 interface and small form-factor ensure compatibility with most PCs and laptops. An updated self-learning algorithm saves regularly accessed files to the SLC NAND chip to ensure faster data retrieval. Likewise, data that is used less regularly is moved from the NAND chip to the HDD for long-term storage. This al
