The Anaconda i3 is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched in 2020. It is only available in the 1 TB capacity listed on this page. With the rest of the system, the Anaconda i3 interfaces using a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the MAP1202A-F1C Cougar from MaxioTech, a DRAM cache chip is available. Anaconda has installed 96-layer TLC NAND flash on the i3, the flash chips are made by Micron. Please note that this SSD is sold in multiple variants with different NAND flash or controller, which could affect performance, the "Notes" section at the end of this page has more info. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are absorbed more quickly. The cache is sized at 24 GB. The i3 is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 3,000 MB/s and 3,000 MB/s write.
At its launch, the SSD was priced at 51 USD. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. Anaconda guarantees an endurance rating of 640 TBW, a typical value for consumer SSDs.
