Speaking of SSD , many friends are already very familiar with it, such as Samsung , Kingston , Western Digital , Kioxia, Pukete , Corsair , Langko, Zhititanium, taiwan, Guangwei , etc.
and high-performance solid-state drives are mainly solid-state drives with M.2 interface (NVMe protocol PCIe 4.0 x4). This solid-state drive has stronger performance and faster reading and writing speeds. It is the first choice for game and design enthusiasts and netizens who pursue the ultimate computer performance.
Among high-performance solid-state drives, the more famous ones are Samsung, Kioxia and Kingston. These international first-tier brands have made greater improvements in performance due to their strong technical advantages. The current domestic solid-state brands are difficult to match them in terms of performance.
The most famous one is Samsung Samsung 980 PRO, which is the famous Samsung Samsung 980 upgrade version. It uses NVMe protocol PCIe 4.0 x4 channel technology and better particle and master control, with stronger performance.
Samsung 980 PRO is one of the most capable solid-state drives in the Samsung camp. Its reading and writing speed, heat dissipation and stability have reached the current first-class level.
In terms of read and write performance, the Samsung 980 PRO adopts new master control and particles, and the read speed reaches 7000MB per second and the write speed reaches 5000MB per second. In terms of particles, since the Samsung 980 PRO uses its 6th generation V-NAND flash memory particles, the flash memory power consumption can be significantly reduced, which makes the Samsung 980 PRO less heat and more power-saving.
. In order to improve the flash erase life and read and write speed, the Samsung 980 PRO is also equipped with 1GB independent cache, which can compress and package a large number of fine 4K files in advance and then write to flash particles, greatly reducing the number of writes. In order to further improve the heat dissipation performance, the Samsung 980 PRO also pre-installed a radiator module before leaving the factory. This radiator uses DTG technology, which can automatically reduce the main control frequency and maintain a reasonable temperature when the temperature of the solid state hard disk reaches a predetermined value. This technology allows the Samsung 980 PRO to not affect its powerful performance due to excessive temperature.
From the perspective of product positioning, Samsung 980 PRO is a flagship model in Samsung's solid-state drive. However, the rental price of Samsung 980 PRO is relatively favorable, and the price is only 1,109 yuan.
After talking about Samsung 980 PRO, let’s take a look at Kingston KC3000. In fact, when choosing a high-performance solid-state drive, more people chose Kingston KC3000 instead of Samsung 980 PRO. Why is this?
Let’s first look at the basic performance of Kingston KC3000.
Kingston is an international first-line storage brand. Kingston's SD cards, memory sticks, USB disks and solid-state drives are all known for their high performance and cost-effectiveness. Kingston KC3000 uses Intel high-quality TLC particles, and the main control uses first-tier brands' high-end main controls. Kingston's own firmware technology makes Kingston KC3000 read, write and transfer performance and erase life of the zip.
In terms of erasing life, Samsung is known for its high lifespan, such as Samsung's 1TB capacity solid-state drive, with an erasing warranty lifespan of up to 600TBW. But the 1TB capacity Kingston KC3000 offers an 800TBW erase warranty, which is far beyond the Samsung series. In terms of
read and write speed, Kingston KC3000 sequential read speed is 7000MB/s and sequential write speed, which is the same as that of Samsung 980 PRO, but the write speed is far higher than that of Samsung 980 PRO.
In terms of heat dissipation, Kingston KC3000 comes with a graphene aluminum radiator, which has significant heat dissipation effect, which is conducive to maintaining a low temperature, as well as maintaining high performance and the stability of the hard disk. In terms of price, the Kingston KC3000 has a 1TB capacity of only 759 yuan, and the Kingston KC3000 has obvious price advantages.
Kingston KC3000 in terms of performance is stronger than Samsung 980 PRO, and its wiping life is longer than Samsung 980 PRO, but the same capacity Kingston KC3000 is several hundred yuan cheaper than Samsung 980 PRO. This is also the main reason why many people choose Kingston KC3000 instead of Samsung Samsung 980 PRO.
Of course, there are also some Samsung solid-state drives that are cheaper, such as Samsung 970 EVO Plus.
Samsung 970 EVO Plus is a high-end solid-state drive model from Samsung's previous generation. It has a reading speed of 3500MB/s and a writing speed of 3300MB/s.
Samsung 970 EVO Plus's uses 980PRO's same series EPLIS master control, as well as V6 12x layer stacked TLC flash memory. In addition, the Samsung 970 EVO Plus also has independent cache and a capacity of 1GB.
ELPIS master supports a higher 128 IO queues, four times that of PHOENIX master. In addition to not supporting the PCIe 4.0 interface, the new version of 970EVO Plus has a great improvement compared to the previous generation of products. For example, the Samsung 970 EVO Plus has a smarter SLC cache algorithm, and the Samsung 970 EVO Plus has a more refined temperature control algorithm, etc. These are all technical dividends from the higher-end PCIe 4.0 flagship model 980PRO.
Currently, Samsung 970 EVO Plus with 1TB capacity is in the flash sale period, with a price of 869 yuan. Samsung 970 EVO Plus is a model with high sales in Samsung solid-state drives.
Of course, in terms of read and write performance, the Samsung 970 EVO Plus and the Samsung 980 PRO are very different, but in terms of stability, the two are comparable.
Of course, if you want strong performance, good stability and high cost performance, Kingston KC3000 will be the first choice. After seeing this, do you already understand: Why do you need to choose Kingston KC3000 instead of Samsung and Samsung 980 PRO?
