There are two high-end hard disk solutions on the market, such as high-end PCIe 3.0 hard disk and top PCIe 4.0 hard disk. Based on the compatibility problems and price factors of PCIe 4.0 hard drives in the current market, PCIe 3.0 hard drives have become the choice of high-end hard drives in the mainstream.
However, the current PCIe 3.0 SSD market is chaotic and complicated to choose. Today, the author will bring you a T3000 NVMe PCIe 3.0 SSD from the hands of the new brand of domestic storage tortoise shell, according to the convention, before the evaluation, let's take a look at what are the characteristics of this hard disk.
1. Adopt NVMe PCIe 3.0 x 4 high-speed interface, which can meet the needs of high-end e-sports and professional users.
4. Select the original factory original granules, with the original factory quality.
2. Continuously writing big data files does not drop, and has strong stability.
3. The sequential reading speed can reach 3466MB/s, reaching the flagship level of the current PCIe 3.0.
Before the performance test, let's first understand the basic parameters and characteristics of this product.
01 Turtle Shell T3000 NVMe SSD Product Overview
It is reported that the parent company of the Tortoise shell brand is Jiangsu Xinsheng, the business is mainly based on solid-state drive chips, and after years of deep technical cultivation, it has the ability of independent research and development and manufacturing, and has extraordinary strength in the domestic SSD market. In addition, from the solid naming of the tortoise shell brand, it can also reflect the Chinese atmosphere, and it can also be seen that the tortoise shell is determined to win thousands of miles.
Tortoise shell T3000 NVMe SSD in terms of capacity has 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, 2TB, 4TB a variety of capacity options, it is worth mentioning that the mainstream capacity of the current mainstream market NVMe SSD is only 1TB, and the tortoise shell T3000 NVMe SSD also has 2TB and 4TB two large capacity options, which is really rare.
Tortoiseshell T3000 512GB NVMe SSD adopts PCIe Gen 3.0 x 4 interface, supports NVMe 1.3 protocol, can be installed in mainstream motherboards and notebooks, has good compatibility.
In terms of durability, the Tortoise Shell T3000 512GB NVMe SSD provides 640TBW, which is calculated according to the amount of data written by the user to 100GB per day, which can be used for about 18 years, so there is no need to worry about the life of the hard disk. In addition, the drive supports a 5-year warranty and free technical support.
Let's look at the internal situation.
The Tortoiseshell T3000 512GB NVMe SSD features a single-sided PCB design that integrates master, flash memory and external cache grains.
The main controller of the Tortoise Shell T3000 512GB NVMe SSD is the PS5012-E12S master controller, which is based on 28nm, adopts an eight-channel design, supports NVMe 1.3 protocol, sequential read speed up to 3400MB/s, sequential write speed up to 3100MB/s.
In terms of particles, KIOXIA TLC is used to select original TLC granules, which have original product quality and can provide first-class standards.
02 Continuous performance testing
In terms of performance testing, we will conduct theoretical performance tests such as continuous performance testing, 4K random testing, and HDTune stability testing. We use the industry's commonly used CrystalDiskMark, ATTO software, Txbench software, to conduct triple testing to verify the continuous performance of SSDs.
CrystalDiskMark testing
Let's first test the theoretical continuous performance of the Tortoiseshell T3000 512GB NVMe SSD.
Through the CrystalDiskMark test results, we can see that the sequential read speed of the Tortoise Shell T3000 512GB NVMe SSD is 3466.8MB/s, and the sequential write speed is 2304.9MB/s, which is very good.
ATTO testing
Since the measurement dimension data becomes the size of the actual application document file, the ATTO test can reflect the maximum read and write performance of documents with different cardinalities, thanks to the throughput performance of the Tortoise Shell T3000 512GB NVMe SSD under different blocks, so that the maximum read in the ATTO test reached 3220MB/s, and the maximum write speed was 2000MB/s.
Txbench test
In the Txbench test, the Tortoise Shell T3000 512GB NVMe SSD still achieved quite good results, with a maximum continuous read performance of 3343.821MB/s and a maximum continuous write performance of more than 2087.774MB/s, which is basically consistent with the previous CrystalDiskMark test performance.
03 4K random test
CrystalDiskMark covers continuous read and write, random read and write performance for 512K and 4KB packets, and 4K random performance with a Queue Depth of 32. Queue depth describes the maximum IO value that the hard disk can activate at the same time, and the larger the queue depth, the higher the actual performance.
In the CrystalDiskMark test, the Tortoise Shell T3000 512GB NVMe SSD reached a 4K random speed of 361K and a 4K random write speed of 521K, which is a little higher than the officially advertised data.
04 Stability test
Of course, the stability of the solid-state drive is an important part, there are many solid-state drives on the market will have a built-in SLC acceleration mechanism, which will lead to significant differences in performance before and after the big data transfer process, and the performance of the product cannot be truly reflected, so this test uses HDTune software to verify the true performance of the Tortoiseshell T3000 512GB NVMe SSD.
In the test, we set a file length of 50GB to test the write stability of the hard disk, the results are as follows.
Testing with HD Tune software shows that the Tortoise Shell T3000 512GB NVMe SSD begins to drop when writing to a 25GB file size, because a portion of the capacity in the SSD is simulated SLC particles to work. That is to say, the cache capacity of this SSD is about 25GB, which is enough for our daily use. In addition, the overall file transfer write speed curve is relatively gentle, no large fluctuations, very stable, in the current SSD storage market, such stability can be described as rare.
05 Write at the end
After testing, the performance of the Tortoise Shell T3000 512GB NVMe SSD exceeded the author's expectations, especially in the stability, and the continuous writing of big data files does not drop, which is very stable. Of course, as far as the hard disk is concerned, the most important thing is the particles, the Turtle Shell T3000 512GB NVMe SSD is equipped with selected original particles, which is also the main factor that this hard disk is so stable.
In addition, it is also excellent in terms of performance, with a maximum read speed of 3466MB/s and a maximum write speed of 2304MB/s, which can meet the standards of high-end esports and content creation. If you have recently planned to save the machine, you may wish to choose this tortoiseshell T3000 512GB NVMe SSD, original quality, trustworthy.
