Given the affordable price, GOODRAM CX SSDs are designed for use in entry-level and mid-level work or gaming PCs. They are also great for revitalizing old laptops with sluggish hard drives that operate data 5 to 10 times slower than they could. In the latter case, an additional plus is the reduced power consumption, which plays a fundamental role in extending the battery life of the laptop.


All representatives of the GOODRAM CX series are built on the basis of 3D TLC NAND memory, communicate via the SATA 3 bus and belong to the 2.5 format. Due to the use of the SATA bus, their speed indicators are in the usual range for this format from 460 to 550 MB / s. IOPS, which signal the ability of the drive to work with arrays of small files, usually usually reach the mark of 75 - 83 thousand, which can also be called the average temperature in the ward. With a case thickness of only 7 - 8 mm, such an SSD can be easily installed in modern laptops and ultrabooks with their paper-flat cases.

The most popular in this series is the CX400 drive. This is one of the most affordable branded 1000 GB SATA3 SSDs with select Toshiba memory under the hood. It is powered by a bufferless Phison PS3111-S11 memory controller, features a small memory array, supports high-speed SLC write caching, advanced LDPC error correction algorithms, SMART monitoring, and guarantees low latency when accessing arbitrary data.
