The IRDM CX400 Gen.2 was a solid-state drive in the 2.5" form factor, that is no longer in production. It is only available in the 256 GB capacity listed on this page. With the rest of the system, the IRDM CX400 Gen.2 interfaces using a SATA 6 Gbps connection. The SSD controller is the PS3111-S11-13 from Phison, a DRAM cache is not available. IRDM has installed 96-layer TLC NAND flash on the CX400 Gen.2, the flash chips are made by Toshiba. 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 soaked up more quickly. The cache is sized at 30 GB. The CX400 Gen.2 is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 550 MB/s and 480 MB/s write; random IOPS reach up to 65K for reads and 61K for writes.
The SSD's price at launch is unknown. The warranty length is set to three years, which is above average, but shorter than the five years offered by many other vendors. IRDM guarantees an endurance rating of 180 TBW, a good value.
