[Material evaluation] Yingchi HOF EX 50 SSDs evaluate the performance of PCIe 5.0 and double it

Although both the AMD Reelong 7000 and the 13th generation Intel Core platform have supported PCIe 5.0, not only the graphics card said it was not popular, Solid state hard disk It is also half hidden by the pipa. So far, the products on the market can be counted by one hand, which is quite a show of technical strength. Of course, the price is also very touching. Some time ago, the famous DIY brand in China took the first bus to launch its first PCIe5.0 M.2 NVMe solid state drive Hall of Fame HOF EXTREME 50.

Compared with the PCIe 4.0 product, the solid state disk with PCIe 5.0 bus technology has a higher data read and write speed, and the initial product performance has been "scary". Let's take a brief look before the evaluation Yingchi Hall of Fame HOF Highlights of EXTREME 50.

1. Supports PCIe 5.0 and NVMe 2.0

2. Micron 232 layer 3DTLC particles are used, and the current capacity is only 2TB

3. Nominal maximum sequential read/write speed 9500MB/s and 10000MB/s

4. Nominal random read/write performance is 1500K IOPS

5. Total writes up to 1400TBW

6. 4GB LPDDR4 independent cache

7. With high-performance heat dissipation vest and built-in heat dissipation fan

one Double sided chip design, slightly exaggerated heat sink

The packaging box of the Yingchi Hall of Fame HOF EXTREME 50 solid state disk adopts a double-layer paper box packaging and the classic white main color. The front of the outer layer is only the logo of "Hall Of Fame" with silver, and the red block above identifies the PCIe 5.0 product. The design of the inner layer is also very simple. The hexagonal in the center is still the logo of "Hall Of Fame" with silver, which is very beautiful and unique.

The inner box is fixed by magnetic suction. When both sides are opened, the HOF EXTREME 50 solid state disk body and heat dissipation vest inside can be seen. The opening ceremony is full.

All accessories in the packaging box, including the SSD body, the heat dissipation vest and the power extension cable of a heat dissipation fan.

The Yingchi Hall of Fame HOF EXTREME 50 2TB adopts the standard 2280 length specification and M.2 interface. The PCB has also changed from the traditional white of Yingchi to black. The huge cluster master chip and SK Hynix independent cache chip have also adopted glue dispensing. The sticker on NAND particles identifies the product model, capacity, S/N code and other information.

There is a blank pad of cache chip on the back, and there are two NAND particles under the label. The label on the top is exactly the same as the front.

Uncover the front sticker to see the full picture of the Hall of Fame HOF EXTREME 50 1TB, and the NAND memory chip is also exposed.

The master chip adopts PHISON Group PS5026-E26, which is the world's first consumer grade PCIe 5.0x4 NVMe master chip launched by Group Alliance. It uses a 12nm manufacturing process, contains two ARM Cortex-R5 cores and three dedicated IP cores, supports DDR4/LPDDR4 cache, theoretical read and write speeds up to 12GB/s and 11GB/s, and also supports the fifth generation LDPC and RAID ECC error correction technology of Group Alliance Electronics.

NAND memory chip is the latest 232 layer stacked 3D TLC of Micron. The interface bandwidth is up to 2400MT/s, and the capacity of a single chip is 512MB. The front and back four chips form a 2TB nominal capacity. From its appearance, we can see that it is square in shape. Is it very similar to the DRAM chip of memory? The cache chip is SK Hynix LPDDR4-4266, with a capacity of up to 4GB.

Due to the "huge" heat generated by the initial PCIe 5.0 solid state disk, the products on the market have made great efforts in cooling. The height of the heat dissipation vest of the Yingchi Hall of Fame HOF EXTREME 50 is twice that of the PCIe 4.0 product. The full metal mirror silver plated shell is used, and a large area of pure copper heat dissipation fins are embedded. The grille shape increases the heat dissipation area. In order to further improve the heat dissipation efficiency, a micro intelligent fan is also embedded in the heat dissipation vest, which is powered by PWM4Pin.

In addition, it is also important to note that the HOFEXTREME 50 must be installed on the PCie5.0M. 2 slot of the motherboard, and remember to plug the power plug of the fan into the SYSFAN interface of the motherboard.

two Benchmark test, reading and writing break 10 trillion

Put our test platform before the test.

From the information of Crystal Disk Info, we can see that the actual capacity of the Yingchi Hall of Fame HOF EXTREME 50 2TB is 2000.3GB. The PCIe 5.0x4 transmission mode is adopted, and the NVMe2.0 standard is supported. The standby temperature is 41 ℃ at 26 ℃. It can be seen that the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation vest is good.

Benchmarking is the most direct way to understand the performance of a solid state disk. In the Crystal Disk Mark, the maximum continuous read/write speed of the Movie and TV Hall of Fame HOF EXTREME 50 2TB is 10089.17MB/s and 10206.91MB/s, both exceeding the nominal values of 9000MB/s and 10000MB/s, which is double compared with the mid tier PCIe 4.0 products.

In the TxBENCH used for comparison, the highest sequential read/write speed of the Movie and TV Hall of Fame HOF EXTREME 502TB is 9416.541MB/s and 9682.369MB/s. The read speed is slightly different from the nominal value, but the adoption is subject to the CrystalDisk Mark.

The 4K random performance refers to the performance of Crystal Disk Mark. Under the queue depth of QD512, the maximum 4K random read/write speed of the Movie and TV Hall of Fame HOF EXTREME 50 2TB has reached 6121.06MB/s and 6817.92MB/s, and the converted data throughput is 1567K IOPS and 1745K IOPS respectively, both exceeding the nominal value of 1500K IOPS, which shows the power of 4GB super cache.

three Advanced test, PCIe5.0 shows great power

SLC caching is a common practice in the consumer storage industry to improve TLC granular performance, which can balance performance and cost. Test on old hard disk Software In HD Tune Pro, we wrote 200GB of data to the Hall of Fame Movie, TV, and Celebrity HOF EXTREME 502TB. It can be seen that the write speed fluctuated slightly at 9000MB/s, while the read speed was basically stable at 8600MB/s. There was no obvious speed drop. It can be seen that the SLC cache capacity is large.

Next, we will use the PCMARK10 complete system disk test to test the performance of the Hall of Fame Movie and TV Player Hall of Fame HOF EXTREME 50 2TB solid state disk, and visually display it in a numerical way. The final test score was 3782 points, the bandwidth was 600.42MB/s, which was at least one third ahead of the PCIe 4.0 product, and the average access time was significantly reduced to 41 μ s, which was nearly half.

stay 3DMARK The storage test DLC evaluates the game performance of SSDs by loading, saving, installing, and recording three games: Battlefield 5, Call of Duty: Black Action 4, and Watch Pioneer. In the end, the storage benchmark test score of the Film and Television Hall of Fame HOF EXTREME 50 2TB SSD was as high as 4833, the average bandwidth was 824.3MB/s, and the average access time was as low as 37us, which also doubled compared with the low-end PCIe 4.0 SSD.

four Write at the end

Today's PCIe4.0 solid state disk has bloomed everywhere. With the popularity of Intel's 13th generation Core and AMD's Reelong 7000 platform, people's expectations for PCIe5.0 solid state disk can be described as "looking forward to the future". As one of the few PCIe5.0 solid state products initially launched, the Yingchi Hall of Fame HOF EXTREME 50 has doubled the performance of the midrange PCIe4.0 product. The 2TB write volume has also reached 1400TBW. The overall performance is very impressive, and it also provides a five-year warranty. However, at the initial stage, the PCIe5.0 products generated a large amount of heat, so the size of the heat sink was not small. When installing the machine, you must have your own layout of the motherboard heat sink and graphics card to avoid interference during installation.
