Do you think there is still a market for SATA SSD? The current NVMe protocol M.2 interface solid state drive is not expensive, and the speed is faster. Why choose SATA SSD? There is definitely a market, because there are still a lot of old consoles. The SSD with SATA interface and can be used without any adapter card, and the price is indeed cheaper than the one with M.2 interface. The read and write speed is about 500MB/s, which is enough. Rejuvenate the old console.
The price was very good some time ago. I bought a Mingxuan Yulinwei 512GB solid state drive for 245 yuan, which is equivalent to 0.47 yuan per GB, which is really cheap. What is the performance like? Let’s take a look.
The packaging of this Yulin Guard solid-state drive is really full of Chinese style. The big "Yulin Guard" on it is particularly conspicuous. It has the same pronunciation as "Feather Guard". They specialize in guarding the emperor and the palace. Their combat power can be one against ten. . It seems that if you dare to call it this name, it must be excellent in reading and writing performance and security. The back of the
package introduces the relevant selling points and related parameters of this SSD. A window is also designed to facilitate users to see the capacity and SN serial number of the solid state drive, and to check the authenticity. The appearance of the
solid state drive is exactly the same as the packaging box, with a dark green shell + white pattern, and the Maxxuan logo on it. This shell is not made of metal, but is made of plastic. It seems to be to save costs. After all, the price is already so cheap, which is reasonable.
There is a product nameplate on the back of the hard drive, which contains information such as the capacity, name and serial code of the hard drive, which is clear at a glance. There are anti-tamper labels on the upper and lower frames. As long as the machine is damaged when disassembled, the warranty will be void.
In order to see the hardware configuration of this SSD, I couldn't help but open it. The entire casing did not have a single screw, but was installed with a snap-on design. Use a thin metal card to pry the watch frame. It can be opened easily.
motherboard is a black PCB, using a half-size design, and the integration rate of the components on it is still very high. The solder joints of each component are very plump and firm. Its main control uses YS9082HP industrial-grade main control from Deyiwei. In terms of particles, it uses Intel Intel 29FO1T2ALCQKL carefully selected particles. The so-called carefully selected particles are the particles finally selected after many rigorous tests, so they are more secure for data. Guaranteed.
There are two pellets on the front and back. If converted according to 512GB, a single pellet is 128GB, and 4 pellets make up 512GB. Let's do a test to see how it performs?
First use CrystalDiskInfo to check the power-on status of this solid-state drive. The number of power-on times is 3, the power-on time is 0, and other read and write data are all 0, indicating that it is a new disk. However, the temperature is not displayed here. It seems that there is no temperature sensor or the like.
then used AS SSD Benchmark for testing: the reading and writing results were 514MB/s and 446MB/s respectively. Compared with the official data (reading 520MB/s, writing 480MB/s), it is slightly lower, maybe because it is an old platform. Random reading and writing in 4K~64K reached 137MB/s and 175MB/s respectively, and the final score was 645 points. The score was not bad, at a medium level.
then used the software CrystalDiskMark to do the test. Its reading rate is 543MB/s and the writing rate is: 468MB/s. Compared with the results measured by AS SSD Benchmark, it is much higher than the official test results. It's very close.
finally used mSMART software to test its 8GB and 32GB read and write speed and stability. 8GB read rate: 544MB/s, write rate: 469MB/s. The reading speed of
under 32GB is: 545MB/s, and the writing speed is: 467MB/s. The difference in performance is not very big. The reading performance exceeds the officially announced 520MB/s, and the writing speed is about 11MB/s different from the official performance.Judging from the results of 8GB~32GB, it is very stable and there is no big fluctuation.
Experience summary:
The above is the experience evaluation of this Mingxuan Yulinwei SSD. After some testing, the overall reading and writing performance is still very good. It also meets my expectations for it. It has an industrial-grade main control, intel carefully selected 3D NAND particles, and also supports ECC error correction, TRIM instructions, wear balancing, active garbage collection and other advanced algorithms to ensure data transmission. stability and extended life. Currently, this Maxxuan Royal Guard is available in three specifications: 128GB/256GB/512GB. Users who want to install it, upgrade an old host, or buy it as a mobile hard drive or warehouse disk may wish to learn more about it. I think this Royal Guard Lin Wei is very suitable and worth recommending.
