With a standard 2.5-inch 9.5mm form factor and SATA interface, the 2TB solid state drive fits well into notebooks and all-in-one computers.
Other than integrated Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T. ), Advanced Power Management (APM) and advanced error correction algorithm flash management technologies, the SC199 and TC166 also includes optional features such as fast erase, military secure erase methods, hardware based encryption and conformal coating.
