Power-Loss Protection discrepancy for Orico IG740 Pro

[mikeedee]

The specs on https://www.techpowerup.com/ssd-specs/orico-ig740-pro-4-tb.d2360 say Power Loss Protection: No, while the marketing materials say it has Power Loss Protection

Can someone explain the discrepancy?

Thanks, I also saw your email.

This looks like any other MAP1602 drive, none of this support PLP. Also not even sure where they would place the capacitors required for such a feature

Alright, thank for your reply. Here's how they describe it on Amazon:

• [Advanced Data Security and Stability] Featuring controlled BOM and firmware, power-loss protection, LDPC ECC error correction, flash management technology, and AES encryption to ensure comprehensive data safety and reliable performance in critical applications

So is this a straight up lie? Or do they mean something different?

I have no idea. This sounds a bit like an AI generated text. Other than this text, nothing indicates support for PLP.

Maybe the controller has some feature that prevents total failure when power is cut, but that's not PLP in the sense that you and me think about, which requires capacitors to provide power for the controller to finish outstanding work.
