The previous storage market was actually nothing domestic. Although there are many SSD manufacturers in China, these domestic SSD chips are all foreign companies, and the core technologies are in the hands of others.
However, this situation will soon be over. Yangtze River Storage will mass-produce 3D NAND suitable for SSD use next year, but domestic SSDs will have faster mastery. In fact, there are already several companies entering the corporate and military markets. The first domestic mastermind in the consumer market will be Yixin. Technology's STAR1000, the first to use the main control is Lite-On T10 Plus.
Although Lite-On and its parent company, Lite-On, are Taiwanese companies, they have already planted roots in the Mainland, and have conducted in-depth cooperation with domestic storage chip companies. In 2016, Lite-On Technology established a Guangzhou R&D center to support the development of the domestic semiconductor industry. Moonlight Bao and Yen Technology reached a cooperation agreement to jointly develop high-end solid-state hard drives with domestic main control as the core.
In November 2017, Lite-On T10 Plus was released at the National Convention Center and Yonecore STAR1000. This year, Lite-On and Ziguang set up a joint venture to focus on the development of domestic storage equipment. Visible Light Bao is constantly enhancing its resources in the Mainland.
Currently, the Lite-On T10 Plus 256GB has been sold in Jingdong. The price is RMB 739. , The first 50 sunbathing friends can also get a 50 yuan Jingdong E card.
We also got this product for the first time, but we can only run a few tests simply because of limited testing time.
The Lite-On T10 Plus is a M.2 PCI-E NVMe SSD with a starting capacity of 256GB and 512GB and 1TB.
The performance of 512GB and 1TB is the same. Both reads of 1700MB/s at 2700MB/s, random read/write IOPS of 320,000/275,000, while the performance of 256GB is relatively low, reading 2500MB continuously. /s, Write 1000MB/s continuously, random read/write IOPS 160,000 and 145,000, respectively.

There is a screwdriver and M.2 screws in the accessories.
The M.2 nut on the motherboard has Very intimate
Lite-On T10 Plus uses M.2 2280 disk type, M.2 Socket 3 interface, and takes PCI-E 3.0 x4 channel.
Like the M.2 SSD before Liteon, it had a radiator T10 Plus. This time, the radiator was replaced with a Chinese style design, highlighting the use of domestic master controls.
Even the sticker on the back is Chinese style. In addition, only 256GB is unilateral flash memory. Both 512GB and 1TB are double-sided flash memory.

The first domestic commercial SSD master control memory core STAR1000
Yonecore STAR1000 uses a powerful dual-core ARC processor and is manufactured on TSMC's 28nm HPC process. It provides eight flash memory channels. It supports ONFI 4.0 and Toggle DDR 3.0. Flash interface speed is 800MT/s, and it supports DDR4/LPDDR3 up to 2400MT/s. External Cache, The maximum continuous read speed of the main control is 3GB/s, the maximum continuous write speed is 2GB/s, the maximum random read/write IOPS are 350K and 300K respectively, the read delay is 90us, the write delay is 20us, peak power consumption Less than 2.5W.
The cache is 512MB LPDDR3 in South Asia, model number is NT6CL128M32BM-H2
The Lite-On T10 Plus uses Toshiba's original 3D TLC flash memory. The number used above is 256GB TH58TFT0T23BADE, which belongs to Toshiba's third-generation third-generation third-generation BiCS 3D64-stacked product, with a single capacity of 128GB.
SSD has two decorative red lights on the tail
This is the information identified by CDI. The current firmware version is LTNFW1.1.
CDM test comes out Lite-T10 Plus 256GB The continuous reading speed is 2539.7MB/s and the continuous writing speed is 1000.5MB/s. It is basically consistent with the information on the box. The random read speed of the 4K QD1 is 57.89MB/s, and the random writing speed is 216.6MB. /s , It seems that the performance of the domestic master is very good.
We used a large 44.7GB file to copy into the Lite-On T10 Plus 256GB, and it started to decline after 10% of the write speed. The TLC Plus 256GB SLC Cache is about 4GB in size. After the SLC Cache is running out, the original write speed of the TLC flash is about 250MB/s.
SLC Cache capacity is actually less, TLC flash memory, the original write speed and performance of the same capacity products.
As the first show of domestic commercial control, the Lite-On T10 Plus 256GB performance is still very good, but the performance of this capacity is not as big as that of the two. Later we will get a 512GB version, then we will See stronger performance.
