Computer hard disk performance ranking: Western Digital BLACK SN850 won the championship again
The most powerful hard drive was taken by the Western Digital SN850 black disk, which is also the top regular. With the support of native PCIe Gen 4 technology, the read and write speed of the hard disk has reached a terrifying value, using SanDisk 20-82-10034-A1 main control and SanDisk 60914 flash memory particles, so that this product is guaranteed in terms of speed and stability.
With the popularity of PCIe 4.0, whether it is the main control chip or flash memory particles, the performance has been greatly improved, solid-state drives generally come to 1TB price is only in the early 500s, and mechanical hard disks have entered the era of elimination.
Computer memory performance ranking: Zhiqi 32GB large memory won the top spot
The strongest memory in 2021 comes from the Zhiqi DDR4 4000MHz 32GB, which has a large capacity and also has a high frequency of 4000MHz, overclocking gameplay is varied, the performance is absolutely dusty, and the average score has reached 170,000, far exceeding the second place Yingchi DDR4 4266MHz 8GB.
Unlike the large-capacity development trend of hard disks, 8GB memory modules are still not old. 8GB of memory can be arbitrarily combined to create dual channels, so manufacturers are also keen to polish the performance of 8GB. 16GB of memory is also more common nowadays, and three of the top 10 memory performance lists are 16GB capacity.
Memory performance in the top 10 are DDR4-3600MHz and above high-frequency memory products, of which five products have even reached the main frequency of 4000MHz to 4266MHz, high-frequency memory modules not only have higher performance, but also overclock, and are now quite sought after in the market.
For the PC market, 2021 is a cold year, due to the lack of core caused by the rise in memory, hard disk prices, new product iteration updates are slow. Coupled with the tide of mines, sky-high graphics cards and air graphics cards have hit the enthusiasm of installed players, the DIY market is deserted, and old players have become a party of waiting. In this environment, on the contrary, it has spawned the prosperity of the game notebook market, old brands have invested in the army of e-sports, and new brands have slowly penetrated into the field of light and thin books and business.
Looking forward to 2022, the lack of cores may be alleviated, and the pace of PC product updates may be accelerated. What everyone in the industry is most looking forward to is the Intel unique display with a warm-up time of more than a year, the struggle between N card and A card continues for a long time, and whether arc ruixuan independent graphics card can break the situation has attracted much attention. In the notebook market, the addition of brands such as Huawei, Xiaomi, realme, and Redmi will also inject fresh blood into the notebook industry, and traditional brands will face greater competition.
