Continuing the efficiency and stability of the V20, the V30 employs the SATA III 6 Gbps interface, while remaining backwards compatible with the SATA II Gbps interface. Running at over double the efficiency of the SATA II interface, the V30 can meet the needs of computer gamers and professional computer users.

The SP/Silicon Power V30 SSD uses a SandForce controller chip, enabling it to reach read speed of 550 MB/s, and write speed of 500 MB/s. It also supports TRIM command and Garbage Collection technology, resolving the issue of decreased efficiency in SSDs used for long periods of time.

The V30 SSD employs multiple techniques to strengthen the product’s stability and durability.

These include:

DuraWrite and wear leveling, which extends the endurance of MLC memory providing at least 5 year lifecycles with 3-5K cycle MLC flash;
Implementation of ECC (Error Checking & Correction) technology then ensures reliability of data transmission; and
Built-in SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis & Reporting Technology) enables consumers to check on the product’s operating status at any time.

The SP/Silicon Power V3 SSD hard drive comes with a 3-year warranty, and a complimentary 3.5" adapter bracket that allows installment.
