Apacer Zadak TWSS3 ZS1TBTWSS3-1 1 TB

Apacer Zadak TWSS3 is an affordable and high-performance SSD from the renowned manufacturer Apacer, part of the Zadak series. This drive retains the classic 2.5-inch form factor, which, although it has lost ground to the newer and more compact M.2 SSD, still remains in demand due to its availability and speed, exceeding the capabilities of ordinary HDDs. Compatibility with SATA 3 and SATA 2 interfaces makes it an ideal choice for upgrading existing systems.

The actual sequential read speed is 560 MB/sec, while data writing averages 540 MB/sec. This is much slower than the above-mentioned M.2 SSDs with support for the NVMe protocol and the PCI-E 3.0/4.0 interface, while at the same time these figures significantly exceed the average speed of consumer hard drives. It's important to note that due to the lack of a cache or dedicated buffer, write speeds can drop to around 90MB/s when processing large files. However, for most user scenarios this will be enough to achieve significant performance gains. The drive has an official branded three-year warranty and a fairly serious failure life of around 1.5 million hours.
