2021 is approaching, and it’s the end of the year to review the summary time. The next question is to sort out the top ten solid state drives in 2021, and bring you the top ten solid state drives. Let’s take a look!
The top ten solid state drives in 2021:
N O10 ：
Gloway 720G SATA3 interface solid state drive
Price: 399 yuan
Side by side: Gloway 1.5TB SATA3 interface solid state drive
Price: 699 yuan
Brief comment: Shenzhen Jiahe Jinwei was established in 2012, and it is the first largest full-chain memory product foundry company in China. In 2015, the brand Guangwei was acquired, and then the Asgart brand was launched. Guangwei takes the cost-effective route and targets the mass consumer market. Asgart's target market is e-sports players, focusing on overclocking and positioning high-end. Guangwei's solid-state hard drives are further subdivided into: fierce generals, valiant generals, war generals and Titans. The first three have a three-year warranty, and Titans provide a five-year warranty.
NO9: Hikvision C2000 PRO 512G M.2 interface NVMe
Price: 499 yuan
Brief comment: Hikvision is a leader in the domestic surveillance field. It is a cross-industry to enter the field of solid-state hard drives, and cross-industry is easy to cause a dark horse of cost performance. The main control and cache of C2000PRO and HP EX950 are the same, and the flash memory is better. It is the original 3D-TLC NAND particles of Tsinghua Unigroup. The 512GB read and write reaches 3100/2100MB/sec. The performance is similar to HP EX950, but the price is much cheaper. It also provides a ten-year warranty.
NO8: Lenovo ST510 240G~480GB SATA3 interface
Price: 199/339 yuan
Brief comment: Lenovo is a well-known brand in the field of PC complete machines, but it is not the first-line in the field of solid-state hard drives, so the price is usually gentle. Lenovo's solid-state drive has no advertisements and is very low-key, like a shy boy, so shy is not lack of ability. Many entry-level solid state disks have no cache. ST510 has a 128MB independent cache, which can improve read and write performance to a certain extent.
NO7: GALAXY armored warrior series 240GB~480G SATA3
Price: 199/299 yuan
Brief comment: GALAXY is a well-known graphics card brand, and its solid-state hard drives are also doing well. In the April 2018 sell in shipments of mainland solid-state hard drives, GALAXY ranked second. This model is also often sold in our physical stores. Although GALAXY, Kingteck, etc. do not have the core technology of solid-state hard drives, their sales are larger than Samsung due to price wars. The disadvantage of the second-tier brands is that the overall repair rate is slightly higher than that of the first-tier brands, but the gap is not large. Master one principle: data is particularly important, first-tier brands such as Samsung and intel are preferred, ordinary games and entertainment value cost-effectiveness, and second-tier brands are cost-effective.
There is a principle to choose a solid state drive: the same brand, one is a 256GB M.2 drive, and the other is a 480GB SATA3 drive, and the larger capacity is preferred when the price is similar. The larger the capacity, the better the performance and the longer the life span.
The M.2 NVME protocol solid-state drive seems to have several times higher performance, but the control speed cannot reach several times the speed increase. The main reason is that it is a qualitative leap from mechanical to solid state, while SATA3 to M.2 is not a qualitative improvement, and the software loading speed is related to factors such as CPU and memory, and not only depends on the hard disk speed. GALAXY has an armored fighter 240GB M.2 NVME solid state drive. This model is PCI-E 3.0X2 channels, not X4. The AS-SSD runs at 1000 zero points, so NVME should not be mistaken for better than SATA3.
NO6: Toshiba TR200 series 240GB SATA3
Price: 279 yuan
Brief comment: The first-line brand, the continuous reading and writing ability exceeds the Samsung 860EVO SATA3, and has reached the top level of SATA3 solid state, and the price is not expensive.
Tied: Toshiba RC500 series 500GB M.2 NVME
Price: 399 yuan
Brief comment: Although the speed is only average in NVME, it is much faster than SATA3. There is no need to worry about the quality of flash memory, the price is reasonable, and the overall quality is excellent.
NO5: Western Digital Blue SN500 250GB M.2 interface NVME protocol
Price: 279 yuan
Comment: For the first-line brand, the 240G SATA3 interface of Western Digital Green Disk is about 280 yuan. It is far better to add 30 yuan to buy NVME blue disk, which is faster and has 10G more space.
Tied: Western Digital Blue 3D version 500G SATA3
Price: 499 yuan
Brief comment: The blue disk is a high-end model of SATA3 solid state. From the perspective of read and write performance, the continuous read and write is 560/530MB/s, which is far lower than the Western Digital M.2 NVME black disk (continuous read and write 3000/1600MB/s). However, under normal circumstances, the difference is not big, and it can hardly be felt.
The current official price of the blue disk 500G is 579 yuan, which is obviously higher than the green disk 480G (389 yuan). If the performance of the green disk is lower and the comparability is not high, then the price comparison with its competitor Samsung 860EVO 500G, the performance of the two is similar. If the price is the same, individuals tend to choose 860EVO.
NO4: Intel Intel 760P 256G M.2 NVME
Price: 359 yuan
Brief comment: Using Intel's original 64-layer 3D stack flash memory. Instead of the famous 600P, the performance of the 256GB version is similar to that of Western Digital Black Disk 3D. There are subtle differences in parameters, and each has its own winners and losers. Among the solid-state hard drives sold in the speed space physical store, intel is the only brand that temporarily maintains zero repairs. For performance, it may not be as good as the 970EVO, but if you look at the overall quality, reliability and price, the 760P is a cost-effective choice.
Tied: Intel (Intel) 660P series 1TB
Price: 849 yuan
Comment: The 660P series uses QLC flash memory, and the theoretical life span is not as good as the mainstream TLC. A few years back in time, TLC has also been scolded decently. The 660P 1TB write endurance can reach 200TB, which is equivalent to 100GB of data written per day. In most cases, it is impossible to achieve such a large amount of writes. Normal use averages 5GB per day, which is a lot.
NO3: Kingston A400 240G SATA3
Price: 239 yuan
Brief comment: Memory NO1 brand, relying on accurate pricing, mature channels and accumulated reputation in the memory field, has achieved a miracle in sales, and currently ranks first in domestic shipments.
NO2: Samsung PM981 256G M.2 interface NVMe
Price: 278 yuan
Brief comment: Samsung is well-known among SSD brands, but its price is also famously expensive. PM981 can be regarded as a clear stream, with good performance and low price, continuous reading and writing performance of 3100/1700MB/s, 4K performance is also at a medium level, it is not surprising that it has become a hot product.
Tied: Samsung 860EVO 500G SATA3
Price: 499 yuan
Comment: Samsung's SATA solid-state classic model has a good reputation.
NO1: Samsung 970EVO PLUS 500GG M.2 NVME
Price: 799 yuan
Brief comment: Although Samsung's PRO has higher performance, it has high performance and low performance. EVO is mainly cost-effective. 970EVO is the benchmark product in Samsung M.2 SSD. PLUS is its upgraded version. The sequential read and write reaches 3500/3200MB/s.
