With data moving in and out at incredible speeds, data corruption can be an occurrence. The ZOTAC Premium Edition SSDs feature technology that enhances data protection, including:

• End to End Data Path Protection - detects and corrects any errors along the paths that your data takes between the DRAM, controller, and NAND
• SmartECC - reconstructs bad/faulty pages when regular ECC checks fail
• SmartRefresh - monitoring the health status of ECC blocks and refreshing blocks intermittently to advance data retention
• Power Failure Protection - minimizing the time data is housed in the cache to prevent data loss during unexpected power outage
