![]() This is an average performer by modern standards though, but still, it’s nice to be able to compare it against something. Well, since I have these things, let’s put them to the test! I don’t have any advanced software in place to do long run steady state testing but I do know some generic tools to see how they do at a first glance! I will be testing against a Samsung 840EVO 250GB with the newest firmware. Supposedly this SSD is also targeted at business use but again I’m not sure if this is for low end OEM integration or high end datacenter use.įor some extra information, here is a crystal disk info: The Benchmarks There are some more specifications and documents you can find but those all either have TBD or some nonsensical numbers in them. Read and write speeds look good, features look excellent, but some information like Write Endurance for the cells and such are missing. Specification wise it looks like a very decent SSD! Certainly not one comparable with something like a Samsung 860EVO or something like it but especially for the price, very very decent! Model Name Here is a quick copy from the Innodisk website. Well, because I was intrigued I bought 4 and have subjected them to some tests! Specifications But…., something must be up with those, right? These SSDs are actually still TLC (Triple Level Cell) SSDs wich is preferable against QLC (Quad Level Cell) since in theory it will last longer and have better performance. But on Ebay there where a lot of offers for the InnoDisk 3TG6-P 2TB for only about 150$ to 200$ and these SSDs. While searching for SSDs prices haven’t dropped as much as I hoped, a 2TB one, even with the newer and cheaper QLC memory, where mostly around 300$ still. But on ebay I was able to find new 2TB SSDs for around 150$, still more expensive then spinning disk but interesting enough to try it out anyway, let’s see how well they perform! Ebay only? And while close, even QLC SSDs where still much more expensive. ![]() It makes a massive difference having a good drive in your machine!Īlways run your system drive from an SSD, and use HDDs cheap storage.I was in need for some 2.5″ storage for an upcoming project and while looking around I wondered if 2.5″ SSDs has approached the price of physical disks. ![]() I wrote an article on CPUs and overall performance using Cinebench and Passmark which gives good relative system performance comparisons. shows how other peoples similar systems compare. ![]() See this stackoverflow thread for upgrading MacBook Pros to faster disks in detail UserBenchMarks and CPUs Linustechtrip forums and a great deep dive resource. Search for SSD / HDD on there to find out the latest tech. Linus Tech Tips on YouTube is an excellent resource. I’m a software developer and run a 256MB NVMe and 4TB HDD which is enough for me (just). If you’ve a large database workload eg 8TB of data, then it is cost prohibitive to put that all on M.2 NVMe (and gets into the questions of enough PCI Express Lanes). Here is the latest Crucial SSD release giving an idea of where we are today Workload Wow - this is insanely fast compared to my SATA SSD So this seems like a better option than using a SATA SSD (I could be wrong here but worth experimenting with - See this PCWorld Article for more detail). Glotrends PCIE NVMe Adapter Card PCIE GEN3 Full Speed for PC Desktop The motherboard didn’t support x3 lanes, but even so with x2 lanes he was getting an impressive 1600 MB/s If you’ve an old desktop, even a 14 year old motherboard (as my good friend has done) you can put in an M.2 NVMe drive using a PCI Express adapter. Notice it is 5 times the speed of the best HDD’s I have! PCI Express to M.2 NVMe This is interesting - the perf of a relatively new HDD hasn’t improved a lot.
