The ZIRCON R1 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD is a high-performance internal solid-state drive designed to provide fast, responsive, and reliable storage for compatible desktops and laptops. Using a PCIe Gen3x4 interface and NVMe 1.3 protocol, the R1 delivers high-speed data transfer performance in a compact M.2 2280 form factor.

With 1TB of storage capacity, the ZIRCON R1 provides ample space for operating systems, applications, documents, multimedia, games, and everyday files while offering the performance benefits of NVMe solid-state storage.

PCIe Gen3x4 NVMe Performance

The ZIRCON R1 combines PCIe 3.0 x4 connectivity with NVMe 1.3 technology to deliver fast sequential and random storage performance.

Sequential read speeds reach up to 3400MB/s, while sequential write speeds reach up to 3100MB/s. Random performance can reach up to 330K IOPS for reading and 250K IOPS for writing, helping improve system responsiveness and application loading.

1TB Storage Capacity

With 1TB of storage, the ZIRCON R1 provides generous space for operating systems, applications, games, documents, photos, videos, and other digital content.

It is a practical upgrade for users who need both higher storage capacity and faster performance from their desktop or laptop.

Kioxia BiCS5 TLC NAND

The R1 series uses Kioxia BiCS5 112-layer TLC NAND flash memory, providing a balance of performance, capacity, and endurance for everyday and professional computing workloads.

The drive is designed for consistent solid-state storage performance across a wide range of applications.

Host Memory Buffer Technology

The ZIRCON R1 uses Host Memory Buffer (HMB) technology rather than a dedicated DRAM cache. HMB allows the SSD to use a portion of the host system’s memory for storage management operations.

The drive also incorporates a pseudo-SLC cache to help maintain responsive write performance during typical workloads.

Compact M.2 2280 Design

The single-sided M.2 2280 form factor allows the SSD to fit directly into compatible M.2 PCIe NVMe slots.

Its compact design helps save internal space while providing high-speed storage without the cables or mounting requirements of traditional 2.5-inch drives.

High Endurance

The ZIRCON R1 1TB provides an endurance rating of up to 768TBW, making it suitable for regular computing workloads and system upgrades.

With a 3-year warranty, the drive provides an additional level of confidence for everyday storage applications.

Reliable SSD Features

The ZIRCON R1 supports modern SSD management features including TRIM and S.M.A.R.T. monitoring.

These technologies help maintain drive performance and provide useful information about SSD health and operating status.

Ideal for System Upgrades

The ZIRCON R1 1TB is suitable for upgrading compatible computers equipped with an M.2 PCIe NVMe interface.

It can be used for business PCs, home computers, workstations, gaming systems, and other compatible devices requiring fast internal storage.
