The VisionTek PCIe Low-Profile Solid State Drive (240GB) provides fast SSD performance for desktop PC and Mac computers. It enhances booting, saving, launching, and multi-tasking speed. The PCIe SSD incorporates the reliability and performance of two LSI SandForce processors utilizing the DuraClass technology in a RAID 0 (stripe) configuration to deliver high-speed data transfer rates up to 815 MB/s. It installs easily into any open PCIe x2 or higher slot for high bandwidth. It meets the needs of games, spreadsheets, and video editing.

The PCIe SSD's robust ECC algorithm and RAISE technology protect those irreplaceable files while efficient block management and reduced write amplification ensure long drive lifespan. Drive health is monitored using an SSD-specific set of S.M.A.R.T. attributes. The combination of these techniques provides data storage protection.

• Silent and cool operation without any moving parts
• Low operating and standby power use
• Shock, vibration, and temperature resistance
• High IOPS per Watt improvement
• Up to 50x faster than HDD with virtually zero spin-up or seek times
• Designed to deliver SATA 6G speeds, yet backward compatible to SATA 3G and 1.5G
• Long lifetime use of up to 1.5 million hours
• Configurable RAID modes include RAID 0/stripe (default), RAID 1/mirror
• Native Command Queuing (NCQ), DuraClass technology, DuraWrite technology, RAISE technology, advanced read disturb management, thermal threshold management, intelligent block management and wear leveling, intelligent data retention optimization, 55-bit BCH ECC

• DuraWrite feature extends the drive endurance by 20x or more
• Advanced wear leveling & monitoring distributes data evenly across the entire drive
• Advanced read/disturb management safeguards against data corruption by spreading read/write cycles across the flash components
• Intelligent garbage collection recycling technique maintains optimal write speeds by clearing blocks of unneeded data during off-peak usage times
• RAISE (Redundant Array of Independent Silicon Elements) protects the data on your drive from flash block failures without typical RAID inefficiencies
• Error Correction Code (ECC) protection for long data retention and drive life

• Power users
• Home offices
• Gamers
• Digital Photographers
• Creative Professionals

Q: 1. is there any cable or accessory in the box?

A: There are no other accessories listed to be included with the AJA 1TB KiStor Solid State Drive for Ki Pro.

Q: 2. In order to file transfer ProRes over USB 3.0 to PC and eventually NAS, will I need to install MacDrive software on my PC?

A: You will need a driver to read. The ki pro formats the drives as hfs+

Q: 3. How is the drive formatted?

A: HTFS + (Mac journalled)

Q: 4. is this drive useable in the AJA Ki Pro Quad Solid State 4K Recorder or does it use a different drive?

A: No, different drive. the 4k ki pro uses AJA - Pak512 512GB SSD for Ki Pro Quad

Q: 5. Will this work on Linux?

A: The SanDisk 1TB Extreme Pro USB 3.2 Solid State Flash Drive is compatible with Linux so long as you format it in a Linux friendly format.

Q: 6. Hi, just want to make sure if this card has a built-in bifurcation, so I can plug it to a no bifurcation support motherboard?

A: The Sabrent 4-Drive NVMe M.2 SSD PCIe 4.0 x 16 Bifurcation Adapter Card requires a motherboard with Bifurcation support.

Q: 7. Will this flash drive work with a Mac OS X ?

A: It comes formatted for PC (fat-32) and it is ready for use on Mac OS X for both read and write. But if you need it be bootable on Mac, you need to format it to Mac format(GUID partition) by using the Disk Utility.

Q: 8. Will the SanDisk 128GB Extreme Pro USB 3.0 Flash Drive work with a Mac OS X ?

A: Yes. The biggest problem I have is in transferring large files (i.e., 4GB) between platforms. That's not the drive's fault, though, that's a problem with different software drive formats. You have to format the drive for the kind of system you want to use it with. If you're exclusively using it on Macs, it's way simpler, but if you want to transfer 4GB files between Mac and PC, then you have to make sure that you format the drive appropriately (and I must admit I don't remember the name of the most appropriate file format for such things, I have to look it up each time I have to do it, which isn't often).

Q: 9. How robust is the recovery software? A reviewer stated they lost 1 year of photos... can you recover full drive if it fails?

A: Recovery software might be able to recover a deleted file in some cases. If a drive fails you will not be able to recover it. USB sticks are not long term or high reliability storage they are meant for moving information from one system to another.

Q: 10. Is this card works with Mac Pro 2019?

A: Yes, it works in the 2019 Mac Pro.
