The Zhitai SC001 is a solid-state drive in the 2.5" form factor. It is available in capacities ranging from 256 GB to 1 TB. This page reports specifications for the 512 GB variant. With the rest of the system, the Zhitai SC001 interfaces using a SATA 6 Gbps connection. The SSD controller is the MAS0902A-B2C from MaxioTech, a DRAM cache is not available. Zhitai has installed 64-layer TLC NAND flash on the SC001, the flash chips are made by YMTC. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are absorbed more quickly. The SC001 is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 520 MB/s and 510 MB/s write; random IO reaches 80K IOPS for read and 70K for writes.
At its launch, the SSD was priced at 109 USD. The warranty length is set to three years, which is above average, but shorter than the five years offered by many other vendors. Zhitai guarantees an endurance rating of 340 TBW, a good value.
