IRDM PRO M.2 SSD
Performance without compromise
The latest IRDM PRO M.2 SSD storage device is equipped with an extremely fast PCIe 4 x4 NVMe interface. Maximum read and write speeds of 7000 MB/s and 6850 MB/s, respectively, provide excellent performance and stability. Equipping a desktop or laptop computer with an IRDM PRO drive guarantees smooth and comfortable operation under the most demanding conditions, such as working with 3D modeling and animation or rendering images. Another of the opportunities IRDM SSD offers is to increase storage space on ninth-generation consoles that support SSDs with M.2 2280 form factor.

Unique Heatsink
Engineers and developers working on the IRDM PRO SSD did not only focus on technical performance, but also on the design. The heatsink that combines matte and glossy elements looks massive and further emphasizes the high quality of the whole device. By keeping the black color scheme, it refers to other products of the IRDM line, and the whole design retains a modern retro style, taking inspiration from the electronics of the 80’s.
High performance
The heatsink is made of aluminum, which conducts heat perfectly, and the additional holes and cut-outs that are also well matched with the brand logo, ensure a free and even airflow. Once installed, the heatsink guarantees a high performance of the drive even under extreme operating conditions, as proven in laboratory tests – SSD’s uptime at the highest speed increases by up to 6x when compared with using it without any type of heat dissipation tool. The height of the heatsink has been optimized to be as small as possible, yet as efficient as possible.
Warranty and technical support
The product is covered by manufacturer’s warranty for 5 years limited by TBW* and it comes along with technical support. Detailed tests and selection of components made it possible to create an efficient and durable SSD.
* TBW (Total Bytes Written) – SSD durability, a parameter that determines the maximum amount of data that can be saved on a drive until the warranty expires. The TBW parameter is defined in the SSD product specifications.

"Ces chiffres permettent à ce SSD d’être recommandé pour l'ensemble des utilisateurs et des usages auquel on peut penser. Que ce soit le joueur qui veut des temps de chargement de parties courts, le créateur qui souhaite pouvoir gérer des vidéos et des photos lourdes et nombreuses, voire même administrateur de base de données qui veut un serveur performant, tous trouveront leur bonheur avec ce SSD ! "
[FR]: "The advantage of the disk is excellent performance, Phison E18 controller, Micron 3D TLC NAND memory, a very nice heatsink and a 5-year warranty."
The best and proven solutions
The use of the latest solution, which is the PCIe NVMe gen 4 x4 interface, provides high performance and very high read and write speeds. The type of FLASH memory used is the already well-known 3D TLC chips. What's more, the presence of a DRAM buffer of up to 2 GB DDR4 definitely increases the read and write speeds. Using the best quality components allowed to create a product that meets the expectations of the most demanding customers who refuse to compromise.
Phison controller
The management of the entire drive is handled by a technologically advanced PS5018-E18 chip, supplied by one of the best and most experienced manufacturers in the market, namely Phison. The eight-channel E18 controller, based on ARM Cortex R5 architecture, is used by the best SSD manufacturers. It supports the latest version of the NVMe protocol, i.e. 1.4, and is characterized by impressive maximum speeds of 7000 MB/s and 700 000 random IOPS.
Premium packaging
The IRDM PRO M.2 SSD is packed in an elegant box, which indicates that we are looking at a high-end product. Inside the box, you will find the drive itself, the heatsink, and a mounting kit consisting of a special plate, screws and a small screwdriver.
