Neutron Series GTX SSDs: extreme-performance solid-state drives Neutron Series GTX is our flagship line of SSDs, designed for high-end desktop and notebook PCs. Powered by an advanced Link_A_Media (LAMD) SATA 3 SSD controller, the GTX excels at both random read/write speeds and sequential write speeds, and provides amazing responsiveness for all types of data-intensive work. Designed for Multi-Multi-Tasking. Neutron Series GTX is designed to support complex data-intensive work that involves accessing multiple files simultaneously — video production, large-scale graphics editing, or running multiple office applications at once. Neutron GTX’s extremely high random IOPS performance gives you the nearly instantaneous response you need for your high-end desktop or notebook PC.
Save fast, save often. Neutron GTX’s flagship credentials include incredibly fast sequential write speeds, regardless of file type. SSDs compress data on the fly as they save, and many solid-state drives slow down significantly when writing data that’s already compressed. Neutron GTX is different: saving large videos and images happens so quickly, the first time it happens, you might have trouble believing that it’s really working. Performance that pushes the limits of SATA 3 6Gb/s Neutron Series GTX is designed to take full advantage of the latest high-speed standard to get the most performance out of the latest PCs. It’s also fully backward compatible with SATA 2. Broad compatibility with PCs, notebooks, and ultraslim notebooks Neutron Series GTX SSDs
follow the universal 2.5” standard, and easily mount in desktop PCs with 2.5” drive bays. Or, mount it in a hard drive bay using the included 3.5” adapter. The 7mm form factor fits both standard notebooks as well as the latest generation of slim notebook designs. If you’re considering upgrading your notebook to something slimmer, your Neutron can move with it. Professional-grade LAMD SSD controller The LAMD controller is designed to deliver both super-high IOPS — important for data-intensive tasks like video and image editing — as well as superior sequential read speeds for lighting fast file access. Great sequential read speeds, regardless of file type SSDs compress and decompress files on the fly. Some solid-state drives hit a performance
bottleneck when opening files that can’t be further compressed. This includes video, audio, and image files — and if your PC is also your entertainment center or you work with media files as part of your job, lesser SSDs can slow you down. Real-world performance design focus of the Neutron Series GTX means impressive file loading times even with non-compressible data. Install it almost anywhere Neutron Series GTX follows the universal 2.5” standard, for quick installation into most notebooks. It fits into place on newer PCs which have built-in 2.5” drive support, and with the included 3.5” adapter, you can install it in a standard hard drive bay. Many newer slim notebooks get that way at the expense of height restrictions for SSDs. Neutron is just 7mm
high, so it can go where some other SSDs can’t. Built for SATA 3 6Gb/s Neutron Series GTX is designed to support the latest high-speed standard to get the most performance out of the latest PCs. It’s also fully backward compatible with SATA 2. Maintains its Performance Over Time Neutron Series GTX SSDs support the Windows 7 TRIM command. This allows them to store only the data they need and perform memory optimization to ensure the fastest possible write speeds. Solid-State Reliability Because SSDs have no moving parts, they can handle shock, vibration and temperature changes far in excess of traditional hard drives. That's important for desktop PCs, and essential for notebooks. Cool and Quiet, with Low Power Consumption Traditional mechanical hard drives spin at thousands
of revolutions per minute. This takes power, and generates noise and heat. Since SSDs have no moving parts, there's no noise or vibration, and the lower power consumption helps keep things cool inside your PC. And, it can also save battery life on notebooks. Performance and Specifications Max sequential read performance: 555 MB/s Max sequential write performance: 330 MB/s Max random write (4K aligned): 80K IOPS Memory type: Toggle NAND Interface: SATA 3 6GB/s Neutron Series GTX is designed for SATA 3 6GB/s, and is also compatible with SATA 2. Maximum sequential read and write speeds are based on out-of-box performance with ATTO Bench32. Max randomwrite is based on out-of-box performance with IOMeter 2008. Stated capacities are for unformatted drives. Compatibility and System
Requirements SATA 3 6Gb/s Backward compatible with SATA II and SATA I Microsoft Windows 7, Vista, and XP, Mac OS X, and Linux 2.5" or 3.5" hard drive bay. An adapter is included for 3.5" drive bays that don't have built-in support for 2.5" drives.
