1 Overview
The ASD8P-MT1 Series PCIe x2 Gen2 Solid State Drive (SSD) delivers leading performance in an
industry standard M. 2 2280-D5-B-M form factor, while simultaneously improving system
responsiveness over standard rotating drive media. By combining leading NAND flash memory
technology with our innovative high performance firmware, ADLINK delivers an SSD for PCIe hard disk
drive drop-in replacement with enhanced performance, reliability, ruggedness and power savings.
Since there are no rotating platters, moving heads, fragile actuators, or delays due to spin-up time or
positional seek time that can slow down the storage subsystem, significant I/O and throughput
performance improvement is achieved as compared to rotating media. This document describes the
specifications of the ASD8P-MT1 Series PCIe x2 Gen2 M. 2 SSD.
The ASD8P-MT1 Series PCIe x2 Gen2 M. 2 SSD primarily targets M. 2 based laptop PCs, highly
rugged client devices, as well as thin and light mini/sub-notebooks. Key attributes include high
performance, low power, increased system responsiveness, high reliability, and enhanced ruggedness
as compared to standard hard drives. The ASD8P-MT1 Series PCIe x2 Gen2 M. 2 SSD is available in
M. 2 2280-D5-B-M form factor that is electrically, mechanically, and software compatible with existing
M. 2 slots. Our flexible design allows interchangeability with existing hard drives based on the M. 2
interface standard.
