Information Detail

The V-GeN Platinum SSD 128GB is a 2.5-inch SATA III-based storage solution designed to deliver significant performance improvements to desktop and laptop systems. With read speeds of up to 550 MB/s and write speeds of up to 500 MB/s, this SSD delivers significantly faster boot times, more agile application response and a smoother computing experience than conventional hard disk drives (HDDs). Built using 3D NAND flash technology, these SSDs also offer better power efficiency, shock resistance, and long-term reliability that are essential in daily use.

In tests on a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 device equipped with an Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor, 12GB DDR4 dual channel RAM, and Windows 11 22H2 operating system, this SSD showed real performance close to its maximum specifications. Benchmark results via CrystalDiskMark recorded read speeds of 498.76 MB/s and write speeds of 451.92 MB/s. Tests with AS-SSD Benchmark showed 512.21 MB/s read and 453.18 MB/s write speeds, while in ATTO Disk Benchmark (64M), performance reached 518.92 MB/s for read and 466.40 MB/s for write. These numbers confirm that the V-GeN Platinum SSD can perform optimally in the SATA-III ecosystem.

This SSD uses the Silicon Motion SM2259XT controller, which is known as a DRAM-less yet efficient controller in the entry-level class of SATA SSDs. Despite the lack of DRAM cache, the performance offered is still adequate for everyday purposes such as browsing, office productivity, and media streaming. With no official information on Total Bytes Written (TBW), users can rely on the reliability and durability of this SSD for normal long-term use.

At an affordable price, the V-GeN Platinum SSD 128GB is a great choice for users who want to upgrade their old devices or improve work efficiency on new systems. Its excellence in read/write performance, power efficiency and broad compatibility make it an economical and reliable storage solution for modern needs.
