When it comes to the brand of 'Taiwan', the player's first impression is definitely a representative of the price/performance ratio. Taipower's products are of good quality, but the price is very close to the people and has been recognized by the players.
Now for DIY players, the choice of an SSD is absolutely standard. As the capacity of 3D NAND continues to increase, the price of SSD has dropped to freezing point. It is definitely a very good time to start.
With the prevalence of e-sports and RGB lighting effects, Taipower brought us the first RGB solid-state hard drive from the home, and this SSD looks domineering. Today, I will bring you the evaluation of this SSD, let everyone be closer. Learn more about this RGB SSD.
8 layers of independent structure 42 times of polishing
This solid-state hard drive belongs to the Taipower Edge series. The official code is '700S'. On the packaging, this hard drive is packed in a very high-cost hard-box package. The product features are outstanding and the style is cool.
Open the package, we will see the main body of the hard disk, there are instructions inside, the installation tools and SATA cable and solid state hard drive body, from the packaging, the e-sports style is very obvious.
Taipower's sharp 700S solid state drive uses a non-standard 2.5-inch solid state drive specification Thanks to the multi-layer structure design, this SSD is much larger than the average 2.5-inch SSD, and it is full of texture.
Taipower's edge 700S solid state drive has a capacity of 240G. Adopting the standard SATA3 interface design, the officially claimed read and write speeds are 520MB/s and 450MB/S respectively, which is the mainstream speed of the SATA3 interface.
In terms of workmanship, Taipower Fengman 700S adopts frontal sandblasting, wire drawing process, and CNC trimming process, which is very well made.
Taipower's sharp 700S solid state drive uses a new FLARE light, small breathable lighting effect, visually excellent, very good for creating a cool e-sports platform.
Through dismantling, we found that the SSD's illuminating bead is at the edge of the entire PCB board, a total of 14 pieces, evenly distributed on the entire SSD PCB.
After dismantling, we can see that this solid state drive uses the original 3D NAND flash granules, quality assurance, and Huirong SM2258 master control, this configuration can guarantee the performance and quality of the entire hard disk, and Taipower is This SSD offers a 5-year warranty.
Performance test: Continuous reading of 560MB/S
In the continuous read and write performance test, we use CrystalDiskMark, ATTO for testing.
CrystalDiskMark is an easy-to-use hard drive performance test software, but the test project is very comprehensive, covering continuous read and write, 512K and 4KB packet random read and write performance, and 4K random performance with queue depth (Queue Depth) of 32. .
The queue depth describes the maximum IO value that the hard disk can activate at the same time. The larger the queue depth, the higher the actual performance.
In the CrystalDiskMark test, the Taipower Edge 700S 240G SSD has a continuous read speed of 563.6MB/S and a maximum continuous write speed of 474.6MB/S.
ATTO Disk Benchmark is an easy-to-use disk transfer rate detection software that can be used to detect the read and write rates of hard drives, USB drives, memory cards and other removable disks.
Because the software uses different size data test packages, the data packets are read and written according to 0.5K, 1.0K, 2.0K up to 8192.0KB, which can truly simulate the working mode of storage tools such as solid state drives in daily life.
Therefore, it can objectively and truly reflect the performance of the solid state hard disk in real life, and has certain reference value and significance for ordinary users.
Another innovation of this software is that after each data test is completed, the system will express it in the form of a histogram, which succinctly shows the effect of different size and size files on disk read and write speed.
In the ATTO test, the maximum continuous read speed of the Taipower 700S 240G SSD is 563MB/S, and the maximum continuous write speed is 477MB/S.
4K random performance test
Compared with the continuous read and write performance test, the 4K random performance test can more accurately identify and measure the real performance of the solid state drive. In the 4K performance test, the AS SSD is usually used for testing.
AS SSD Benchmark is a standard test program designed for SSD testing. It covers continuous reading and writing, single-threaded 4KB random read and write, 64-thread 4KB random read and write, and disk seek time.
Finally, the results will be standardized according to the formula, which can reflect the true performance of the solid state hard disk.
In addition, there are two description units in the performance description, one is MB/S, one is IOPS.
In the AS SSD random performance test, the maximum 4K random write score of the Taipower 700S 240G SSD is 63Kiops, and the maximum 4K random read score is 75Kiops.
05 comprehensive performance test: PC Mark8 brand: Taipower SSD Finally, we use PC Mark8 for comprehensive performance testing of solid state drive products.
PCMark8 has built-in multiple test projects, including the Storage test to assess hard drive performance, including two games and various office application tests.
Ten tests for World of Warcraft and Battlefield 3 game loading tests, Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, Adobe After Effects, Adobe lllustrator, Microsoft Office Word, Office Excel and Office PowerPoint.
These applications and software can simulate the actual usage of the user, and comprehensively analyze the final results of this solid state drive.
In the PC Mark8 comprehensive performance test, the comprehensive score of the Taipower 700S 240G SSD SSD is 4967 points, and the hard disk bandwidth speed is 263.53MB/S.
Editor's summary:
Through basic reading and writing tests, maximum continuous reading and writing tests, benchmark tests and comprehensive performance tests, we can see that the performance of this Taiwan Power 700S 240G solid state drive is strong enough to meet the needs of mainstream gamers.
At the same time, the cool appearance and colorful RGB make this SSD more attractive. The Taipower 700S 240G solid state drive can be said to be one of the few high-quality RGB colorful SSD hard drives on the market.
