Apacer Technology Inc. PCIe NVMe M.2 Solid State Drives (SSDs)

Apacer Technology Inc. PCIe NVMe M.2 Solid State Drives (SSDs) are based on the M.2 form factor, with a standard width of 22mm, making them ideal for mobile and compact computers. These SSDs feature SATA-based connector pinouts, ensuring full compliance with PCIe Gen3 x2 interface specifications.

The Apacer PCIe NVMe M.2 SSDs implement a hardware ECC scheme to detect and correct data errors, ensure data is being read correctly, and to protect data from corruption. Bad Block Management prevents data being stored in bad blocks, further improving data reliability. Wear Leveling spreads out the flash usage through the whole flash media area, greatly increasing the life expectancy.
