The recent solid-state price cuts are really a boon for consumers.
Coupled with the expansion of the capacity of SSDs, SSDs that were once preferentially used to install systems can already be used as slave disks to install various large-scale software and games.
I personally have a strong demand for data storage in 2019, simply do a math problem, a7rm3 a raw 82mb, 10 shots / s high-speed continuous shooting, a shutter down 1.3 seconds is 1gb, assuming a turnback, continuous shooting 2.2 seconds, 1.7gb is gone.
Storage expansion is imperative in the New Year.
On the basis of the existing ones, the toshiba dt01aca300 is additionally prepared and the previous hard disk special group riad1 is intended to increase the capacity to protect data security and be used to save various materials.
The original temporary storage of games in the mechanical hard disk, etc. is intended to be stored in the sata solid state (after all, the cabbage price mode has been opened), as a steam disk and some software installation disks, the initial calculation of the more suitable capacity is 480gb, and there is also a plan to transfer the mobile hard disk.
The last choice was the Toshiba tr200 480gb version.
reason:
I very much agree that "hard disk valuable data is priceless", after experiencing so many news of hard disks using black films, disassembling pieces, and polishing pieces, I made up my mind to choose only the ones with reliable quality, not to mention that the price difference is within the acceptable range.
1. The quality of the original granules is reliable. Toshiba is one of the few brands with its own flash pellet production capacity.
2. The performance is sufficient, the ssd performance of the current sata3 channel has reached the limit, and the parameters of tr200 are sufficient to use. 480gb is a more suitable value for both the main disk, the slave disk and even the transfer to a mobile hard disk.
3. Cheap. Compared with other original solids, the price of tr200 is more affordable.
Toshiba tr200 480 SSD Exterior:
The front is a black and green color scheme, which is very recognizable:
The back is made of silver matte with a sata connector and a power supply interface, which can be plugged into the notebook and hard disk case
First, as the installation disk of commonly used software and games
▼ Running scores are affected by the system, hardware and various factors, and the scores are for reference only.
The first is the crystaldiskmark solid-state speed measurement:
▼ In the txbench test, the score of tr200 is above the middle level in SATA3 solid state.
At present, there is no spare space for C disks, tr200 in addition to steam, wegame and origin installation disks, I will also transfer some large-volume software to this 480gb tr200.
What we want to pursue is nothing more than faster access to the game, a smooth feeling without waiting.
After all, some games with tens ofgb at every turn need to wait for a long time when opening, and as for pr and other software, I am more pursuing the speed of loading.
Here I did some of the games and software opening test speed. a is: Toshiba p300 3tb, b is: Toshiba tr200 480gb
1. Battlefield 5
As the popular spicy chicken of the origin platform, it is also the only game that can experience the ray tracing function of the rtx series graphics card at present, and it is really necessary to test.
The installation package alone is larger than 50gb, with World War II as the background, and all kinds of gameplay in the game are more abundant, from air combat to tank and land combat.
tr200 480gb Load time: 14 seconds
Toshiba p300 3tb Load time: 38 seconds
More than twice the loading speed, which has a significant improvement for map loading.
2. Tomb Raider: Shadow
Spanning multi-platform adventure masterpieces, I recommend installing SSDs as much as possible, because the probability of the death of the protagonist Lara in the game is very high, especially in the section where the tsunami hits the town, and repeated deaths require the current node to be reloaded.
This is the time required for SSDs to wait much shorter than that of HDDs, which greatly improves the user experience.
tr200 480gb Load time: 8 seconds
Toshiba p300 3tb Load time: 19 seconds
For a game that dies frequently and requires repeated loading of storage points, the loading speed is very important, and it is highly recommended to cram the game into the solid state to reduce the waiting time.
3. Far Cry 4
A first-person fps game developed by Ubisoft, the protagonist is set in the incurable and brutal kyrat region in order to fulfill his mother's wishes, and must confront an arms dealer.
The plot of this game is slightly inferior to the third generation, the excitement is still very good, and the game's gameplay system has been significantly improved compared with the previous generation.
tr200 480gb Load time: 6 seconds
Toshiba p300 3tb Load time: 21 seconds
This group is the largest gap, more than three times the boot time, far greater than the theoretical performance gap between MECHANICAL HARD DISKs and SSDs.
Second, used as a mobile solid state adapter:
At present, the concept and products of mobile SSDs are more popular, but the price is higher than that of conventional 2.5-inch SSDs. The advantages are fast speed and zero noise.
Given that the 2.5-inch solid state is inherently small, and the thickness of this tr200 is only 0.7cm (the thinner of the same type of product), it is entirely possible to consider transferring a small-sized hard disk enclosure to achieve conversion.
The hard disk box that costs dozens of dollars, with the tr200, controls the volume very well:
▼ You can see that the tr200 after installation is close to or even smaller in size and traditional mobile hard disk:
▼ Size and mouse comparison
▼ Through the crystalmark test, it can be found that the read and write speed can reach more than 430mb/s.
Given that the usb3.0 protocol (which is also usb3.1 gen1) has a maximum bandwidth of 5gbps, this speed performance is already full speed.
summary:
The overall downward trend in SSD prices is certainly good news for users.
In particular, the production of 3D nand is undecided, which increases the capacity of a single disc. Most notebooks have only one hard drive expansion bit. Upgrading a hard drive for a notebook with a 480gb or even 1tb SSD at a time is an ideal solution.
merit:
1. Reliable source of particles. Toshiba has its own wafer factory, which is more secure in reliability than in the sub-factory.
2. The speed is the normal level in the same type of products, which is enough to meet the daily use needs of users. The continuous read and write speed of nmve after consuming slc che is also this level.
3. Reach the relatively low price of the original solid state, which is a good choice for platform expansion and notebook upgrade.
insufficient:
Limited by the bandwidth of Sata3 channels 6gpbs, the limit speed is not as good as the hard disk of the pci-e channel, at least in front of the slc che The gap is real.
