SAMSUNG Korea

Recommended models: 970PRO, 970EVO, 860PRO, 860EVO In 2017, Samsung surpassed Intel to become the world's largest semiconductor company in terms of revenue. From not mastering the core technology at all to becoming a leader in the core technology, from lagging behind Japanese companies for many years to becoming the world's semiconductor hegemon, the development history of Samsung Semiconductor can be called a history of counterattack and struggle that makes people boil. In 2017, Samsung's SSD market share was 35.1%, far surpassing other professional semiconductor manufacturers such as SanDisk and Intel. Samsung's technical strength is very strong, the three major structure of the SSD cache, the main control, and the flash memory chips are all developed and manufactured by itself, and the independently developed 3D flash memory technology V-NAND read/write speed leads the industry, and each generation of its new SSD products is the object of other manufacturers catching up. Samsung's products using MLC particles are identified with the PRO suffix, which covers a wider range and gives consumers more choices. Products marked with the EVO suffix use TLC particles, although the durability is weaker than MLC particles, but it is enough for normal use by ordinary users. The flash memory particles used to store data in SSDs are easy to wear out, and excessive wear and tear will cause damage to the hard disk and loss of data...

SanDisk SanDisk United States

Recommended models: Extreme PRO, Extreme 3D SanDisk is the world's largest supplier of data memory card products. In October 2015, SanDisk was acquired by Western Digital, which leveraged SanDisk's core technology to enter the SSD market. In 2016, SanDisk had a market share of 13.6%, ranking second in the world. SanDisk shares flash memory technology with Toshiba, and SanDisk's new SSDs feature Toshiba's latest Bics 3D flash memory. SanDisk resurrected the SanDisk Extreme PRO SSD, a long-established high-end product line, in 2018, and like memory cards, the Extreme PRO and Extreme PRO series represent SanDisk's flagship and entry-level products, respectively, but SanDisk has not many products on sale, and they are all TLC flash memory particles, which consumers with high demand for hard drive durability need to pay attention to. As a new flagship product in 2018, SanDisk Extreme PRO has excellent performance, with slightly better read and write speed data than the Samsung 970EVO in the same class, and provides a 10-year ultra-long warranty, which is the longest warranty period among consumer SSDs, reflecting the reliability of the product from the side. SanDisk's entry-level SATA Interface SSD Extreme High Speed 3D Performance...

Intel United States

Recommended models: 900P, 760P, 545S Founded in 1968, Intel is known to the general public for providing desktop-class processors. Before being surpassed by Samsung in 2017, Intel Semiconductor maintained the No. 1 position in global revenue for a long time. Due to the lack of obvious CPU updates in previous generations, Intel has been jokingly referred to as a toothpaste factory that updates like squeezing toothpaste. However, when it comes to SSD technology, Intel is an out-and-out proactive. The 3D Xpoint technology jointly developed by Intel and Micron bypasses the traditional flash memory manufacturing technology and adopts a new material that is more wear-resistant. SSDs with 3D Xpoint technology have lower latency, longer lifespans and faster speeds than traditional SSDs. Intel's SSD products are divided into two suffixes, P series support PCI-E lanes, and S series support SATA lanes. The Intel 760P performs fairly well, with slightly worse read and write performance than the similarly configured Samsung 970EVO. The performance of the entry-level SSD 545S has been greatly improved compared with the previous generation 540S, but as an old product in 2017, Intel 545S is still a certain distance from Samsung's new products in 2018. While in traditional flash...

Crucial United States

Recommended model: MX500 Critical is a consumer-facing sub-brand of Micron Technology. Micron was founded in 1978 and became the world's second-largest DRAM chip manufacturer in 2012 after Micron acquired Japan's Bilda Semiconductor. Micron and Intel have worked closely together to form an IMFT chip manufacturing company, and its 2011 flash memory chips won the UBM TechInsight 2011 Semiconductor of the Year Award. In 2018, the QLC flash memory jointly developed by Micron and Intel will also be launched. As an SSD manufacturer with its own flash memory particles, the performance of Critical products is also very stable. Critical does not have a flagship M.2 interface for sale, and the entry-level models are divided into the BX series and MX series. Launched in 2017, MX500 has strong performance, occupying the top of the SSD recommendation list of major technology websites such as Anandtech, with read and write performance comparable to Samsung's new 860EVO, and the price is slightly lower than that of 860EVO, providing SATA and M.2 two mainstream interfaces, and the product competitiveness is very strong. Critical M550 is one of the few major brands on the market mSATA interface SSD, the performance is acceptable, but the price is too high, and it is more expensive than the better performance Samsung 860EVO.

Toshiba Japan

Recommended model: Q200EX Toshiba Semiconductor, formerly part of the Toshiba Group, is the inventor of flash memory. Nowadays, many SSD manufacturers such as Puket and Kingston use Toshiba's flash memory chips, and Toshiba also has a very close cooperation with SanDisk to jointly develop new flash memory technologies. In May 2018, after a long tug-of-war, Toshiba sold its most valuable semiconductor business to the Bain consortium in order to repay the group's debts, with the participation of Apple, Kingston, SK hynix and other companies, marking the official end of the Japanese era in the semiconductor industry. Although Toshiba is strong in flash memory technology, Toshiba did not launch a flagship-level M.2 SSD in 2017, and now only Q200EX and TR200 products are on sale on e-commerce platforms. As an entry-level SSD, the performance of the new TR200 is average, not as good as the Intel 545S, but the price is very low, which is suitable for users who want to try the SSD at a low price. As an old product released for more than two years, the Q200EX is competing head-on with various new products in the SATA interface SSD, but the Q200EX still performs relatively well, although its caching mechanism has been criticized by some people,...

PLEXTOR Taiwan

Recommended models: M8V series, M9PE series Puket was originally a Japanese brand that mainly produced optical drives, and then the business was transferred to Lite-On Technology in Taiwan. In 2016, LITE-ON Technology accounted for 9.7% of the SSD market share, ranking third. In 2017, Puket and Intel developed a new hard disk firmware to further optimize the read and write speed of the SSD. Each generation of high-end products is divided into three products: no heat dissipation fins, heat dissipation fins and PCI-E interface, which bring convenience to consumers with corresponding needs. The PCI-E interface M9PeY and M8SeY both have LED lights, and the M9PeY also has RGB color lighting effects, which is very attractive to DIY consumers who like the lighting effect of the host. The performance of the M9Pe series is similar to that of the Intel 760P, but the M9Pe uses MLC particles for stronger durability. The 256G version is priced at only 629 yuan, which is very attractive. Entry-level product M8V series performance table...

ADATA Taiwan

Recommended model: XPG GAMMIX S11 ADATA was established in May 2001, and in 2010, it won the third place in Taiwan's Top 100 Technology Companies. Most of ADATA SSDs use Micron flash memory chips, and the cache mainly comes from Nanya Technology chips. Although ADATA does not produce its own granules, its volume is large, and most of the particles are purchased and packaged by themselves, and the product strength is also very guaranteed. ADATA's product line is divided into the flagship XPG series and the entry-level SP and SU series. The flagship new XPG S11 performs well, with a PCMark8 score of nearly 5050 points. Although there is still room for improvement compared with Samsung970EVO, the S11 series 480GB price is only 999 yuan, which is cost-effective. The entry-level product SU800 has medium performance, and in the read and write performance test, it lags far behind the Samsung 860 series in the first echelon. ...

Kingston United States

Recommended Model: HyperX Savage Kingston has been in the memory business since its inception and today accounts for 67.4% of the third-party DRAM chip market and is the world's largest independent manufacturer of memory products. Many of the post-80s generations had their first USB flash drive from Kingston, and Kingston had established a position in the Chinese market. In terms of flash memory chips, Kingston's products on sale are all using Toshiba flash memory chips, and the reliability of the products is guaranteed. Kingston did not launch a top-of-the-line configuration product in the first half of 2018, and the more expensive high-end SATA interface SSD HyperX Savage performed better, and was jokingly said by the media that there was finally a Kingston hard drive that did not pit. The new A1000 supports PCIe 3.0x2 lanes, and the read and write speed is half of that of high-end flagship products, but its competitiveness is not strong, and you can buy ADATA XPG S11 at the same price. The new entry-level UV500 has average performance and is not yet available in China. The A400, which has high e-commerce sales, does not perform well and is not worth buying. ...
