About the Controller
MyDigitalSSD BP4 SSDs feature the Phison S-Module III S8 controller to deliver all the advantages of Flash Disk technology with the Serial ATA III interface, fully compliant with standard mSATA form factor. The S-Module III S8 is based on the mSATA form factor which is generated by JEDEC, designed to operate at a maximum operating frequency of 300MHz with 40MHz external crystal.
The S8 can reach 500MB/s throughput based on ONFI/Toggle NAND (with DDR3 cache enabled and measured by CrystalDiskMark) with markedly lower power consumption than that of traditional Hard Drives and even most new SSDs, making it the perfect solution for mobile computing.
UAS is a computer protocol used to move data to and from USB storage devices. Systems that support UAS will see better results due to the capabilities listed below.Without UAS, USB 3.0 R/W speeds will still reach 190/160.
UAS Capabilities
- Maximizes bus utilization through the use of streams in USB 3.0
- Provides a modest increase in bus utilization in USB 2.0
- Provides a mechanism for the device to store several commands and optimize the use of its media
- Complies with current command and transport standards
- Eliminates much of the round trip time between command phases - Hidden behind queuing
- Switches the storage driver to a queuing model
