Agrade's M.2 SATA SSD module is an innovative 2280 B+M Key shape SSD with a maximum capacity of 2TB, ideal for ultra-thin embedded computing applications that require large amounts of storage in a very small area. Agrade SSD as one of the pioneers of the industrial storage industry, in recent years has been in-depth research more in line with the needs of the audience of solid-state drive products, recently Agrade Ruida once again low-key release a focus on large-capacity high-performance machine SSD.
Of course, in addition to capacity, this Agrade M.2 SATA SSD also has the following characteristics:
1. First-line raw material quality assurance
2. A variety of capacities are available, the maximum capacity is 2TB
3. Light and slim for a variety of equipment needs
4. Stable and reliable, support -40 degrees ~ 85 degrees
At present, this Agrade M.2 SATA SSD has come to the ZOL evaluation room, we gossip and start today's review.
01 Product internal and external analysis
The main control part supports the SATAIII protocol standard. Of course, it also supports ECC technology and a series of innovative functions such as RAID ECC, end-to-end data protection, etc., and is a complete and functional master control chip.

02 Continuous performance testing
Enter the performance test section, which will discuss the real performance of this Agrade M.2 SATA SSD in three dimensions through benchmark performance test, 4K random performance test, and PC Mark8 comprehensive performance test. In terms of benchmark performance testing, we will use CrystalDiskMark and ATTO test software to verify each other. CrystalDiskMark is a classic hard disk test software, which can be optimized in the queue settings, performance description, and test block selection in addition to the guarantee of continuous read and write, 512KB and 4KB packet random read and write performance, and 4K random performance with a queue depth of 32, which is more in line with the testing needs of the current hard disk.
CrystalDiskMark testing
In the CrystalDiskMark test, we can see that the Agrade M.2 SATA SATA SSD has a maximum continuous read performance of 553MB/s, and the maximum continuous write aspect has also reached 487MB/s, which can meet the needs of customers with storage needs.
ATTO testing
In the ATTO test, we can see the performance of Agrade M.2 SATA SSDs in different file sizes, with the instantaneous maximum continuous read performance reaching a staggering 528MB/s, and the instantaneous maximum continuous write reaching an exaggerated 465MB/s. Comprehensive CrystalDiskMark, ATTO test, we can generally know the real performance of Agrade Ruida SATA, about the maximum continuous read of about 550MB/s, the maximum continuous write at 460MB/s, basically in line with the official standard, such performance is enough to meet the storage load of many ordinary users.
03 4K random performance test
Compared with continuous performance testing, 4K random performance testing, based on test principles, can better reflect the real performance of SSDs in everyday applications.
In 4K random testing, we tested with AS SSD, which is a classic 4K random test software.
4K random test
Through the 4K random test, we can see that the maximum 4K random read of Agrade SATA has reached 56313 IOPS, and the maximum 4K random write has reached 40925IOPS, compared with ordinary SATA SSD, its lead is also visible to the naked eye.
Such 4k random performance can meet the daily defragmentation file sorting, multi-application rapid response and light storage load of ordinary users.
04 Looking to the future
With the gradual people-friendliness of SSD products, large capacity and high performance no longer become the "spear" and "shield" of SSDs, but are the unity of mutual integration.
After all, with the complexity and diversification of computer applications, the load and capacity of hard disk storage will become the focus parameters of user attention. At this point, Agrade Ruida, as an old storage manufacturer, is once again at the forefront of the industry, with high capacity and high performance, and the future solid-state storage market will be a comprehensive performance confrontation. The launch of the Agrade M.2 SATA SSD is another rallying cry for Agrade to sound the SSD competition, and it is expected that Agrade can continue to launch stable and reliable industrial-grade SSD products.
