Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 review: An unusual gaming laptop with a good battery life
AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU | 16.00" | 2.6 kg
Two Samsung SSD 980 PRO 2TB (MMZ-V8P2T0) in RAID 0 combination lead to a usable capacity of 4 TB and improved performance numbers. However, the risk of loosing data is a lot bigger (one drive fault can destroy all data). The RAID 0 combination uses two very fast high end PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 2280 SSDs. Both use the Samsung Elpis controller with 8 channels, 1 GB LPDDR4 cache, SLC-Cache and 3D-NAND TLC memory modules from Samsung (V-NAND v6). Samsung specifies each drive with 7000 MB/s read and 5100 MB/s write (SLC cached, 2000 MB/s TLC). The power consumption is between 0.035W (idle) and 8.9 W (max.) and doubled in that case (as both drives are used at once).
