[PConline Annual Hengping Review] Wang Xietang, an old former Yan, flew into the homes of ordinary people. Today's TLC SSD has become the mainstay of the SSD market, and has made great contributions to the popularity of SSD. Looking at the market for SSDs this year, almost all of the SATA SSDs released by the major manufacturers are TLC SSDs. TLC SSD is capable of such a large-scale outbreak, is also expected, performance is good, the price is very low, attracting many users who do not require high. And with the advent of 3D NAND technology, the longevity of TLC flash memory has also been alleviated to some extent.
To make it more ground-engaging, this year's PConline evaluation room SSD annual Hengping, we will target at 240G, 250G, 256G, 275G capacity range TLC SSD, bring together the current 11 mainstream domestic and foreign SSD vendors, to a face PK, we hope Find answers from real comparisons.
Future SSD Market Absolute Power: 3D TLC Flash Memory
In the consumer market, Samsung is now widely used in SSDs because of its earliest investment in 3D NAND production, with a market share of nearly 40%. In the first half of this year, as Toshiba/SanDisk, Micron, SK Hynix and others accelerated their entry into 3D NAND production, the SSD market will enter a new battle. This year, Micron released a new consumer-grade SSD based on 3D TLC NAND, the MX300 series.
Master Control Solution Supporting 2D/3D TLC
Marvll 88SS1074 master
At the same time, the 88SS1074, 88NV1140, and 88NV1120 SSD control chips introduced by the international control chip maker Marvll also support 2D/3D TLC NAND; Hui Rong also introduced a 3D NAND-TLC SM2258, which has already started shipping and is expected to be available soon. Many non-original 3D TLC SSDs are available. There is no doubt that the 3D TLC SSD will follow the TLC SSD, another shining "star" product on the market, but also the object of the new competition in the SSD market.
Almost all TLC SSD: You read it correctly!
Plextor's first TLC SSD: M7V series
This includes A-DATA SU800 series, Plextor M7V series, Inventec MX300 series, Kingston UV400 series ... The first half of 2016 is the protagonist is TLC SSD, almost all new products are TLC SSD, later want to buy SATA SSD, around Over TLC SSD is hard! ! ! Because there is almost no MLC SSD (SATA new product) launch.
TLC SSD was born to solve the price
Prices always affect our consumer choices and usage patterns. I still remember that just after entering the second decade of the 21st century, we still don't know what SSDs are. We only know that hard disks are mechanical hard disks. Because the SSD is too expensive, the price of the 40GB is as high as more than 700 yuan, and it can't be played at all.
With the advent of TLC flash memory, the manufacturing cost of SSDs has dropped drastically, and more people have been able to afford SSDs. Although the overall price of SSD has picked up since the second half of this year, the price of TLC SSD is still the most attractive and is also the choice of most people.
TLC flash memory technology is more and more mature
In the past, when it came to TLC, DIY players at the time demonized it. Because TLC SSDs take shortcuts to achieve capacity growth, the longevity and speed side effects they bring are naturally fatal for friends who are pursuing performance and durability. So, when a TLC SSD was later placed in front of him, he certainly expressed his disdain. However, this argument has long since passed. TLC SSD is already not the same as Nakamon Amon. Under the efforts of the manufacturers, it has solved the P/E life-time problem that TLC NAND is often criticized. It increases the life of TLC SSD to the normal cycle of using a computer.
Master optimization is a major key to TLC's popularity and it has achieved "door to door"
Error detection technology is an effective solution to the problem of the accuracy of TLC stored data
At the same time, the quality of the main control algorithm will have a great impact on performance and lifetime. At present, SSD manufacturers have made great improvements in main control technology, signal processing, stronger ECC algorithm, and expansion of the capacity of the spare area. Technology applications such as space-occupancy and more advanced LDPC intelligent error correction technology are also added at the same time. In addition to the original high-quality particle equipment, “there's no natural compensationâ€, TLC has made great progress. At present, the resistance to erasure of some TLC SSDs can already reach more than 2,000 times, closely following MLC's mainstream flagship.
3D-NAND
Not only that, the future of TLC is also very promising. More and more big-name SSD vendors are also optimistic about TLC SSDs, and new NAND carriers such as eTLCs and 3D-NAND TLCs will be equipped in TLC SSDs, which will further increase their lifetime and performance. In short, TLC has long overturned our understanding.

Among the 11 SSDs in Hengping's review, 5 are used by Marvell. It can be seen that the masters designed by Marvell have unique optimization for TLC SSDs. At the same time, the group control and Hui Rong's main control are also very popular, especially the domestic SSD vendors. On flash memory, Samsung and Micron's 3D TLC flash memory is a bright spot, and Toshiba TLC flash memory is occupying half of the country. In terms of prices, 11 SSDs are concentrated in the early 500 yuan, which gives us a fair comparison.
11 TLC SSD Performance PK
CrystalDiskMark Software Performance Testing
Test summary: Through the CDM test, it can be seen that the 11 TLC SSDs participating in the Hengping review have broken 500MB/s in sustained reading speeds, and even exceeded 550MB/s. In terms of sustained write speed, the Plextor M7VC 256G performed best, reaching 535MB/s, followed by the Samsung 850EVO.
Test summary: 11 SSDs in the CDM 4K random read and write performance test, the read performance gap is not particularly obvious, but the difference in write speed is relatively large, and its Samsung 850EVO performed best, reaching 163 MB/ s, Colorful, Ying Rui Da, Ying Chi, A-DATA performance is also good.
AS SSD Benchmark Software Testing
Test summary: Through the AS SSD Benchmark test, we have seen another copy of the transcript. On the 4K IOPS read, the Samsung 850EVO still leads, but its 4K IOPS is written at random, so it is more general. If you read and write balance performance, GALAXY, SanDisk, Apacer are good.
Anvil`s Storage Utilities:
Test summary: After various performance comparisons, Anvil's Storage Utilities software will give a total score to the performance of SSD. It can be seen that the Samsung 850EVO has a total score of 5383 points, which is the highest; the Netac N530S scores only 2664 points.
PCMark 7 Performance Test
Test Summary: PCmark 7 test can simulate the use of daily software, can fully test the actual performance of SSD, usually we use 5400 points as the standard for measuring the flagship SSD. 11 of the 11 SSD products in the PCmark 7 test have broken through this line, 5 are the Samsung 850EVO, Plextor M7VC, Granville SU800, SanDisk Ultra II, British Rui MX300.
PCMark 8 Performance Test
Test Summary: In the more rigorous PCMark8 tests, the top three are the Samsung 850EVO, Intellitec MX300, and SanDisk Ultra II. However, the PCMark8 score gap will not be too large, so it may be possible to see each other. 30 points difference.
PConline evaluation room summary:
Performance Analysis:
Through the above tests, you can see that the performance of the 11 TLC flash SSDs is unexpected. Even some TLC SSDs perform better than the MLCs, and the performance does not decline. And the 11 TLC SSDs, except for Netac, performed slightly worse, and the other 10 were within 7%. It can be said that as TLC flash memory becomes more and more mature, TLC SSD performance becomes stronger and stronger.
Price:
The 11 SSDs that participated in the evaluation all stayed in the price range of 459-699 yuan, so no one can maintain absolute advantage in terms of price. After all, the price is often fluctuating, and everyone looks at their own brand preferences and performance to select.
After-sales service:
These 11 products all provide a three-year warranty (GAPIC also provides three years of replacement), not artificial damage within three years, have the opportunity to enjoy a three-year warranty.
Purchase suggestion:
Until now, many people still look at the TLC SSD with tinted glasses and spray it indiscriminately. From 2013 to 2008, TLC SSDs have withstood the test, no longer the TLC of the year, more and more mature technical support, cheaper and cheaper prices, and more and more outstanding experience... For those with limited budget, choose TLC SSD Speeding up for the PC is inevitable. How to choose at least 11 models, we can choose according to their needs, budget, brand beliefs.
