SKC3000S/512G questions answered
What is the write endurance of SKC3000S/512G?
The published rating is 400 TBW. It describes rated writes, not a predicted failure date. Warranty eligibility also depends on the manufacturer's terms.
What connection does SKC3000S/512G need?
SKC3000S/512G requires a M.2 2280 slot that supports PCIe/NVMe. Check supported PCIe generation, available lanes and heatsink clearance; a SATA-only M.2 slot is not sufficient.
How much usable space does SKC3000S/512G provide?
Its nominal capacity is 512 GB, approximately 476.8 GiB before formatting. The filesystem, reserved space and any RAID redundancy reduce usable capacity further.
What warranty is listed for SKC3000S/512G?
Manufacturer specification: 5 years or Percentage Used limit, whichever comes first. A renewed, used, OEM or imported offer can have different coverage. Check the serial number and seller terms before buying.
