Speed with which the device is able to retrieve data that forms one contiguous, ordered block of data. Measured in MB/s (MegaBytes per Second)
Speed with which the SSD is able to retrieve data from arbitrary locations in the memory, across the entire span of the drive. Measured in IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second)
Enhanced Power Loss Data Protection prepares the SSD for unexpected system power loss by minimizing data in transition in temporary buffers, and uses on-board power-loss protection capacitance to provide enough energy for the SSD firmware to move data from the transfer buffer and other temporary buffers to the NAND, thus protecting system and user data.
