PCI-E M.2 SSDs are popular online: Say goodbye to SATA SSDs
|
The new NVMe transmission protocol + PCI-E 3.0X4 channel, strong support from Intel and AMD platforms, and increasingly friendly prices have made PCI-E M.2 SSDs grow rapidly and become the backbone of the current SSD market. PCI-E SSDs can be directly connected to the CPU through the PCI-E channel without any intermediate links, and the transmission efficiency is higher. Its transmission bandwidth can reach 32GB/s, which is 5 times that of SATA. PCI-E SSDs come in many forms, including half-height and full-height cards like graphics cards, such as Intel 750; there are also small mini M.2 forms. Currently, most of the new Intel 9 series, 100 series, 200 series/AMD X370, B350 motherboards are equipped with M.2 interfaces, and support NVMe protocol SSDs by default. If you are a new user who chooses SSDs or is limited to traditional SATA SSDs, it is really a waste of your new motherboard. So, if your motherboard supports the M.2 interface, PCI-E M.2 SSD is the first choice. Next, we will review five PCI-E M.2 SSDs that are popular in e-commerce, hoping to provide some guidance for your purchase. Reviewed product: Samsung 960EVO M.2 250G Reference price: 999 yuan Advantages : The editor has recommended Samsung 960PRO before, and many netizens said it was too expensive and could not afford it. In addition to 960PRO, Samsung M.2 SSD also has an M.2 SSD--960EVO, which is more priced for mainstream and mid-range users. Supporting NVMe transmission protocol, using PCI-E 3.0x4 channel, the new generation of Samsung original controller Polaris, the continuous read and write speeds can reach 3200MB/s and 1900MB/s respectively, and the random read and write can reach 380K/360K IOPS. The speed is second only to the big brother Samsung 960PRO in consumer-grade SSDs. Disadvantages : However, it should be pointed out that the Samsung 960 EVO M.2 is TLC 3D V-NVND, not MLC particles , which is why it is cheaper than the 960PRO. Review product: Intel 600P 256G Reference price: 789 yuan Advantages : Speaking of this PCI-E M.2 SSD, I believe many netizens have heard of it. Intel 600P is a popular M.2 SSD in the current market. With the inherent advantages of NVMe and PCI-E 3.0x4 channels, the continuous read and write speeds reach 1800MB/s and 560MB/s, and the random read and write speeds reach 155K IOPS and 128K IOPS respectively. Although it is a bit behind the Samsung 960EVO M.2, it is much faster than SATA SSD, and it brings users a smooth experience in actual application experience. Disadvantages : Of course, although Intel 600P has the Intel halo, it is also a 3D TLC SSD. And it uses the Silicon Motion controller, not the one independently developed by Intel. The key is that the price was just over 500 yuan some time ago, and now it has risen to more than 700 yuan, which is really hard to accept. Review product: Plextor M8PeG 256G M.2 Reference price: 1099 yuan Advantages : Produced by Plextor, NVMe protocol + PCI-E 3.0x4 channel, with brand-exclusive heat sink, Marvel 88SS1093 Eldora controller with Toshiba 15nm original MLC particles, the hardware configuration is impeccable. The maximum speed can reach 2500MB/s and 1400MB/s, providing a smooth and delicate experience for the system, and there is a 5-year warranty. Disadvantages : Plextor's brand pulling power is not as good as Intel and Samsung. Of course, this is also the most expensive price among the five PCI-E M.2 SSDs reviewed today. Product review: GALAX Iron Warrior 240 M.2 Reference price: 669 yuan Advantages : Unlike the SATA version of Iron Warrior, the M.2/PCI-e interface Iron Warrior SSD supports the latest NVMe protocol, and uses selected Toshiba original MLC particles instead of TLC particles, with read and write speeds of 2400 and 1200MB/s respectively, with explosive performance. The price of 669 yuan is quite affordable among 240G competing products. Disadvantages : The main control is from Phison, and the data processing optimization capability is still not as good as that of first-tier manufacturers such as Samsung and Marvell. In addition, GALAX's quality control ability and brand appeal are one of the factors for consumers to consider this M.2 SSD. Product review: Liteon T10 240G Reference price: 739 yuan Advantages : Liteon T10, based on PS5007 solution, also uses Toshiba 15nm MLC NAND, which is consistent with Galaxy Armored Warrior. It also supports NVMe protocol and uses PCI-E 3.0x4 channel. The 240G continuous read and write performance can reach 2700MB/s and 1300MB/s at the fastest, which is not bad. Disadvantages : Liteon brand pulling power and Phison master control are still a little worse. Basically, the hardware configuration is similar to Galaxy, and the price is even more expensive. Summary: The above five PCI-E M.2 SSDs are all NVMe protocol, using PCI-E 3.0x4 channel, and their performance far exceeds that of traditional SATA SSDs. Each has its own advantages, in terms of brand, performance, particles and price. As for which one to choose, it is up to you to choose. You can also express your opinions in the comment area.
