The controller of the whole system is PS5018-E18, which is a technologically advanced model supplied by one of the best and most experienced manufacturers in the market, namely Phison. The eight-channel E18 controller is based on ARM Cortex R5 architecture and is also compatible with the latest version of the NVMe protocol, which is 1.4. The newly introduced IRDM PRO drive is available in three capacities – 1, 2 and 4 TB. This is a response to the diverse needs of users of this type of products – from everyday solutions to professional applications, such as working with 3D modeling and animation or rendering images.
The drive is distinguished not only by its technology, but also by its form. The unique heatsink is an original project of the Polish brand in terms of design. It is made of a solid material, has an aesthetic appearance and stylistics reflecting the values of the IRDM brand. At first glance, you can notice that the brand cares about the consistency of its products. 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 retro style with a modern twist, reminiscent of 1980s electronics design. The heatsink is made of perfectly heat-conducting aluminium.
The IRDM PRO M.2 SSD is sold in the packaging attributed to IRDM premium products. The package contains the drive, the heatsink, and a mounting kit consisting of a tinplate, screws, and a small screwdriver.
The drive is covered by a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty limited by the TBW parameter.
