SSD Purchase Guide: Three Core Indicators Determine Storage Performance
Storage Experts Reveal Purchase Misconceptions
In 2023, global SSD shipments will exceed 350 million pieces, but industry research shows that more than 60% of consumers make decisions based on capacity and price alone. As a professional manufacturer with twelve years of experience in the storage industry, we found that ignoring key performance parameters will cause more than 30% of users to encounter performance bottlenecks in actual use. Professional-level purchases require a comprehensive evaluation of speed, lifespan, and core component indicators.
In-depth Analysis of Read and Write Speeds
Sequential read and write speeds directly affect the efficiency of large file transfers such as 4K videos and engineering drawings. Our data shows that the continuous read and write speeds of NVMe protocol PCIe 4.0 SSDs can reach 7000MB/s, nearly 6 times higher than SATA SSDs. Random read and write performance (IOPS) is more related to system response speed. High-end NVMe SSDs have 4K random reads of 1000K IOPS, which shortens the Windows system startup time to within 8 seconds. It is worth noting that the interface protocol has become a speed watershed, and the new PCIe 5.0 product has broken through the 12GB/s transmission barrier.
Professional Interpretation of Life Parameters
TBW (total bytes written) is the core indicator for measuring the durability of SSDs. Industrial-grade SSD products can achieve a write life of 3000TBW, which is equivalent to writing the entire disk three times a day for five years. For high-frequency write scenarios such as video editing and database management, it is recommended to choose products with more than 1500TBW. MTBF (mean time between failures) reflects product stability. Enterprise-level SSDs generally reach 2 million hours, which is 45% more reliable than consumer-level products. Users in the industrial control field should pay more attention to this parameter. Our industrial control SSDs have achieved 7×24 hours of continuous operation for more than 3 years in the intelligent manufacturing production line.
The Hidden Value of Core Components
The main control chip is like the "brain" of the SSD, which directly determines the performance scheduling and error correction capabilities. Bestoss's full range of products uses a 12nm process main control and supports LDPC error correction technology, reducing the data error rate to 10^-18 level. DRAM cache configuration is also critical. 1GB independent cache can increase Photoshop's large file processing efficiency by 40%.
Scenario-based Purchase Suggestions
For different application scenarios, we give professional suggestions: daily office users can choose the 500TBW basic model; content creators are recommended to configure products with a read and write speed of more than 2000MB/s; and key businesses such as financial trading systems should use enterprise-level SSDs and configure power-off protection modules. The company's newly built compatibility testing center has opened free consulting services and can provide customized storage solutions for corporate users.
About Our Technical Commitment
As a storage manufacturer certified by ISO/TS 22163, all our SSDs use original 3D NAND particles and pass multiple rigorous environmental tests to ensure that you will have a high-quality hard drive experience.
