If the time goes back to three or five years ago, it is difficult for PC gamers to imagine that SSDs will be localized so quickly, both in terms of price and performance, and the domestic solutions are very bright. As a dual lover of small consoles and retro games, thanks to the hard work of the domestic integration group, retro game integration packages such as Tianma G emerge one after another. As a hamster party, I always want to build my mini console into a retro game console.
Considering that the Tianma G integration package has more than 3 T, on the eve of the solid-state (probable/is) price increase, it is natural to seize the opportunity to upgrade your hard disk. The Taipower Rushing Pro NP700 purchased this time adopts Yangtze River Storage TLC flash memory (Xtacking 3.0), and the main control is Lianyun Technology MAP1602, which is a standard pure domestic solution. Of course, this configuration is not only very competitively priced, using PCIe Gen4.0x4 nominal speed of up to 7450MB/s, performance is also among the top ranks in Gen4 SSDs.

In addition to the SSD and manual, the packaging part provides mounting screws to avoid the dilemma that the motherboard cannot be installed without screws.
The disk body part adopts black PCB, the front side is printed with LOGO, product model and other information, and the front label is also a whole piece of graphene heat dissipation sticker. The use of graphene with high thermal conductivity allows the heat of the disk to quickly dissipate to ensure the stability of SSD operation and avoid problems such as overheating and speed down.
Gently pull open the graphite heat dissipation label to take a look at the main control, the MAP1602 PCIe Gen4.0x4 high-speed main control from domestic manufacturer MAXIO Technology (MAXIO) provides a read and write rate of 7000MB+, which has obvious performance advantages over the entry-level PCIe Gen4.0x4 main controller.

Since my machine is dual-bay, I will not do the system migration for the time being, and directly insert the NP700 into the second slot. Crystal Disk Info reads the information first, and the standby temperature of 41 degrees is good.
Crystal Disk Mark measured sequential read (Q8T1) 7119.63MB/s, sequential write (Q8T1) 6677.33MB/s, 4K (Q32T1) random read part 749.16MB/s, random write (Q32T1) 672.93MB/s, read and write performance are very powerful, put into daily corresponding to faster disk reading and copy speed.
ATTO tests the read and write speed of files of different sizes, and basically a file of 256KB size is completely full.
TxBench 512KQ32T1 sequential read speed 7039.231MB/s, sequential write speed 6239.609MB/s, 4KQ32T1 random read speed 497.275MB/s, random write speed 336.187MB/s. The test results are consistent with the Crystal Disk Mark and are at the top PCIe Gen4.0x4 SSD level.
In the continuous read and write part, the continuous read and write of 40GB files is stable at full speed, which is also the extreme scenario in most users' daily applications.
After continuously reading and writing 40GB, the temperature of the disk body is 43 degrees, and the heat dissipation silicone effect of the graphene heat sink + mini host of the disk is still very good.
In order to clearly understand the strength of this disk, using AIDA64 to do a full disk write, you can see that before continuously writing 30% of the capacity (540GB), Taipower Rushing NP700 maintains full speed, and the speed is reduced to 2500MB/s when continuously writing 30%~50% of the capacity, and the speed can still be maintained at 700MB/s after exceeding 50%. And the temperature control during continuous writing is also very good, and the hard disk temperature only slightly rises to 45 degrees Celsius, which is a very cool performance in PCIe Gen4 SSDs.
Finally, the main control and flash memory chip information are read by software, and the main control MAP1602, FW version SN11273. The flash memory particles are 4 YMTC, 3D V4 232 layers, each particles 512GB, a total of 2TB capacity.
2023 is really a good year for PC players, the price of graphics cards has finally come down, and the price, performance and quality of domestic solid-state are becoming more and more competitive. If you just need it, or if the limited hard drive space like mine is occupied by larger and larger games, it should be a good time to choose to upgrade to the SSD this year.
