GIGABYTE Introduces UD PRO Series SSDs
GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd, a leading manufacturer of motherboards and graphics cards, presents its UD PRO series SATA Interface SSDs with built-in DDR3 RAM, adhering to GIGABYTE standards for high quality, ultra durable products and providing users with a superior product experience. Newly introduced GIGABYTE UD PRO series SSDs include both 256 GB and 512 GB capacity options and come with a clean, sleek design featuring a black and gray exterior with the product name engraved in white. Not only they do utilize high quality 3D NAND Flash memory, they also come with a high-speed, low power DDR3L buffer cache to accelerate the read/write speeds of the SSD, fulfilling the GIGABYTE standard for high quality products.
In comparison to standard SSDs without built-in buffer cache, GIGABYTE UD PRO series SSDs are twice as effective even when its flash memory is at full capacity. At the same time, the random write (IOPS) is up to 16 times faster than non buffer cache versions. Additionally, integrated DDR3L RAM allows users to make use of the entire flash memory capacity without sacrificing performance quality or storage capacity. It's important to note that GIGABYTE has thoroughly tested the UD PRO series SSDs by implementing them on a full range of motherboards with their respective chipsets to evaluate both the functionality as well as durability of the SSDs. Through stress tests under high temperatures and other extreme conditions, the UD PRO series SSDs not only passed the tests but performed flawlessly.
"SATA interface SSDs are mainstream and have a considerable development history. The challenge is to develop a product of exceptional quality that stands out from the rest," said Jackson Hsu, Deputy Director of the GIGABYTE Channel Solutions Product Development Division. " GIGABYTE UD PRO series SDDs are a testament to our strict adherence to producing high quality products. With DDR3L RAM, 3D NAND Flash memory, 256 GB or 512 GB storage capacity selections, UD PRO series SSDs offer users a high performance, high stability, and high capacity product choice, without sacrificing flash memory or performance."
GIGABYTE UD PRO series SSDs come with a 3 Year or up to 200 TBW warranty, and will be available soon on the market. For more details, please visit the official GIGABYTE website: www.gigabyte.com/Solid-State-Drive/UD-PRO-512GB#kf

a mid range 860 evo 500GB has 5 years and 300TBW. Mx500 which is a budget drive has 5 years and 180TBW :laugh:
Gigabyte's Ultra Durable series is becoming another Asus TUF. It's nothing more than a budget series with a name that used to mean something special.
3 years and 200TBW is literally the least you can expect.
Challenge accepted, and failed.
Keep trying mate.
well... I would like to have more than a gigabyte SSD. FiveHundredAndTwelveGigabyte SSD is ok
I still have a Gigabyte Z77X board that is also 'ultra durable'... today you would consider it bottom of the Z stack. Don't get hung up on names, is the moral of the story I guess.

btw they pulled the soc line as well, gigabyte is pretty much the led chicken lineup from low-end to enthusiast now. With z97 they used to have the ud series,the soc series and the gamng series, including the high-end G1 gaming series, and they were all pretty good. They watered down their choice a lot.
btw I'm still dreaming of putting my 5775c on z97 soc and open bench table. I swear I'm going to place an order one of those evenings I come back home just the right amount of drunk.
Anyway, iirc, UD was introduced to differentiate their first all solid capacitors motherboards. It was kind of a biog deal back then, because a few years before that we had a few batches of leaky capacitors on our hands. These SSDs, on the other hand, seem to be as run of the mill as it gets.
