INTRODUCTION

    SSDs have reshaped the way we think about storage. Gone are the days of waiting for mechanical drives to spin up, solid state technology means instant access, smoother multitasking, and a noticeable boost in everyday performance. Whether you’re gaming, editing, or just browsing, an SSD can be the difference between sluggish and seamless. Earlier this year Anacomda released their first PCIe Gen5 SSD called the i5 and today with me I have the 1TB capacity.

    The anaconda in our logo stands for the phenomenal speed and immense capacity of our products, as well as the connection between our products, global trends, and human development. ANACOMDA believes that data storage products should be technology encased in fine works of art. Our products are produced under strict manufacturing standards. In addition to various customer services, our brand also offer designs that are aesthetically pleasing. The original concept of ANACOMDA is to "turn memory into luxury" and offer customers a brand new electronic product experience. This led us to our ultimate brand concept: Luxury For Memory.

    The Anacomda i5 (currently available in 1/2TB capacities - 4TB capacity in the near future) is a PCIe Gen5 x4 NVMe 2.0 M.2 2280 SSD aimed at pushing client performance into next‑gen territory, with rated sequential speeds up to 14000 MB/s read and 8000–10000 MB/s write, plus random performance up to 1950K read and 1750K write IOPS. It pairs Silicon Motions SM2508 NAND flash controller, 2GB 2133MHz LPDDR4 DRAM by Nanya and Micron's 232-layer (B58R) 3D TLC NAND flash. The Silicon Motion SM2508 NVMe 2.0 controller features an quad-core ARM Cortex R8 CPU with support for 4 PCIe lanes of 32Gb/s data transfer speed (Gen5 x4), 8 NAND channels with a speed of up to 3600MT/s per channel and packs various technologies including end to end data path protection, programmable firmware interface, SRAM ECC & CRC parity, Innovative LDPC ECC engine, embedded programmable RAID, real-time full-drive AES 128/256bit encryption, hardware SHA 256/384 and TRNG, secure boot for FW authentication, built-in smart clock-gating mechanism (highly efficient power consumption - under 7W at load), ONFI 5.0 and Toggle 5.0 support and TCG Opal 2.0 compliance. As for endurance Anacomda reports an MTBF (meantime between failures) of 1.5 million hours for both models, TBW of 600/1200TB for the 1/2TB capacities and covers both models with a 5-year limited warranty.
