Thanks for the heads up on this 4TB Transcend NVME. I used to have a Transcend modem back in the late 90's. It allowed me to connect 2 PSTN lines to my ISP and get 112kbps, where everyone else was @ 56k. I loved that hardware

@DennisD026 Год назад

Good review! Nice to see Transcend drives run so well. I do wonder how you test your nvme drives. I use 990 Pro and 980 Pro`s and mine are much faster, your sequential numbers (and others) seem like the drives are running through the chipset link connected m.2 slot. My 990 Pro 1TB does 7462MB/s but it`s on the CPU pcie 4.0 lanes. Yet your 990 Pro 2TB does 6810MB/s, that is quite the difference and the 2TB one should be the faster drive. My two 980 Pro 2TB numbers seem more like the numbers in your graph, but those are connected through the chipset link on my system. The chipset link really caps max performance on pcie 4.0 drives when using x570 or z590.

@TechTesters Год назад

They're always connected directly to the CPU lanes. Maybe you're comparing your peak speeds to my average speeds, or using a smaller amount of data.

@alexbinder Год назад

Realy like these SSD reviews, what would like to see is also a comparison of the advertised endurance of the drives to highlight if there are big differences.

@TechTesters Год назад

Thanks! But testing actual endurance would take ages of non-stop testing, plus you'd need a large number to say anything useful about reliability. It's just not viable :)

@littlebill1987 Год назад

Also some youtubers did endurance testing a few years ago and most SSDs hit there advertised limit and then some. Short of some issue like Samsung, endurance isn't a issue under normal desktop use.

@AndyU96 Год назад

@@TechTesters You measured about 6.2 GB/s of sequential write speed, that gives 6.2GB/s * 3600 secs/hour * 24 hours/day = 535680 GB/day = 535.68 TB/day Assuming a 4TB TLC drive has a life span of 2400TBW, you'd reach this amount in 2400TB / 535.68 TB/day = 4.48 days = 107.53 hours. If I had your channel and your assets, I'd definitely make a video out of this, "Can an SSD be cheap, fast, AND reliable at the same time?". You'll need to put some nice heatsink on the SSD, and you'll need to set up some scripts that'll do writing on the drive and deletion once it gets full. Even if the script doesnt utilize the drive's full write speed, it's not like it'll take that much longer than 4 days. I'm giving out money in the shape of ideas here :)

@georgeindestructible Год назад

@@AndyU96 It's still a problem of the number of drivers available and the cost of them, 1 or 2 or even 3 drives are nowhere near as good of a sample size to tell anything about else related to their durability/quality or specific issues which might be occurring under their corresponding scenarios and that's IF they do. As the lady said, it's just not viable, financially at least.

is a synthetic benchmark used in the gaming section for any specific reason? as far as I'm aware all SSDs perform nearly identically for game loading times

@sezwo5774 Год назад

Thanks for including a SATA EVO 870 drive in your testing, ....it provides a better overall perspective on the results. It looks like the Transcend drive is a great and very competitively priced product. I only wonder if cache sizes are similar, ...1GB per Terabyte of storage is the norm. Most likely that is the case but I would check before buying.

Promising kit, however a quick search through the usual outlets in the UK didn't find any. I've noticed here in the UK there is a downward trend in available products (not just fresh veg), so here's hoping that a smaller brand dares to get into the market while there's a gap.

Just so any that are looking in the UK know. Yes I've tried the mess also known as Amazon, and I have gone through the official links on the Transcend website.

@andrewlaslone Год назад

@Dreamtwister2k Год назад

I think they are a little shy of releasing in the US at the moment. Some crazy nvme deals happening recently! I was able to pick up a 4TB Crucial P3 Plus (DRAM-less) for $250 which will work great as a secondary drive to my recently acquired Crucial P5 Plus I got for $130. Very aggressive pricing at the moment.

@SirReptitious Год назад

Damn, those sound like crazy good prices. I haven't bought an SSD in years. I have 3 2TB SATA drives, 2 Micron 1100s and 1 Crucial MX500. IIRC I paid $210, $250, and $280 for them(I only bought each of them when they were on sale). I'm still running a pre-NVMe system so it's just SATA. But I am perfectly happy with SATA3 speeds. I still have several HDDs in my system too. HDD speeds can be annoying of course. SATA SSDs solved that problem. While NVMe are factually faster, they wouldn't improve my "quality of life" enough to warrant wasting money trying to get the fastest drive made. Of course when the time comes to build a new system it will have at least one NVMe drive, but it won't make me dump SATA SSDs or HDDs.

@-opus Год назад

@@SirReptitious I built a new pc last year and was surprised to find nvme prices very comparable to sata ssds, even though they are much faster. I am using a nvme for my boot drive, but re-using 2 sata ssd's for desktop and for gaming. As you mentioned the gains are not worth buying new drives when existing ones still work.

@samdeur Год назад

Hi also from the Netherlands.. i just bought a bunch of FireCude 530 2TB 6 for my workstation and 2 520 for my laptops that don't need pci 4. comparing Transcend MTE250H 4TB with the 4TB Seagate FireCuda on tweakers pricewatch i see i made a good choice the TBW (Total Bytes Written ) is 5.1 PB vs 3.12PB of the Transcend.. But when comparing the 2TB version the Transcend seems to be a tad better in the TBW and Mean Time Between Failures department. Having said that i can't argue with the €147 price difference per disk when buying from the same store informatique. Ahh well i already bought all my hardware.. besides i can't find a transcend 2tb without heatsink.. and removing the heatsink of your SSD would definitely nullify your warranty ..the 4TB has one without heatsink. Good vid ... btw i checked the TBW on the manufacture site and the 2TB Transcend is 1560TBW while the FireCude is 2550TBW... Just to make myself feel better with my purchases.

@RichardCyberPunk Год назад

Interesting, so the FireCude has almost 1000TBW more for the 2TB version. Ik ga misschien de Transcend kopen ivm goedkoop. de 4TB versie.

@samdeur Год назад

@@RichardCyberPunk 4TB klinkt erg goed..Mijn advies is doen wat ik ook altijd doe.. bij zo'n belangrijk aankoop. Ga naar de fabrikant website van beide opties en houd beide specs naast elkaar. Goed weten wat je koopt. Tweakers pricewatch vergelijken is niet voldoende want die doen niet alle specs fabrikant als laatste stap aanouden. Ik heb nu al mijn pc en laptops voorzien van FireCuda dus ik ben voor aankomende jaren klaar. Maar jij kunt nog rustig kiezen en vergelijken ;-) ik zelf ging voor de 2tb let wel op dat je ook een back-up moet maken van die 4tb disk. ik raad een spining disk bijvoorbeeld een dikke externe disk dat je in een omhuizing gooit en dan een WD red. of die WD pasports 4tb externe draainde disken. Zorg altijd voor backup disken. Zeker als het gaat om een SSD want die kunnen er zo mee ophouden gelukkig is mij dat nog nooit overkomen (afkloppen).. Trouwens Firecuda heeft goede SSD tools beter dan die van Samsung kwam ik achter.

Price and Performance times are important. But the complete lack of longevity and quality over time is more important to many. Just because a brand been around a long time, does not mean it is quality... (PNY,Kingston,etc etc etc)

crazy how well the sn770 holds up on most of these benchmarks without DRAM

@TechTesters Год назад

It does benefit a lot from the high-end (i9/ddr5) test bench, do keep that in mind.

@mingyi456 Год назад

@@TechTesters I wonder what would happen if that same test bench was loaded up with a memory intensive workload (either a memory intensive game or prime 95 large ffts) while the same benchmarks are running on a dram-less ssd. Would the performance tank in such a case while the dram equipped ssds lose less performance? Although it would be hard to find a memory intensive workload that leaves the cpu cores free enough to carry out the benchmark run.

Looks like a great product. I don't see a link for it below

Region? I don't see any Amazon stock yet I'm afraid. Hopefully soon.

Just brought the 250 s 4tb for £280. Checked against all my other 4 drives samsung 980 gen 4 drives. In the real world no difference, but they are two 1tb, two 2tb. So 4 tb transcend at Samsung 980 spec today is a good spend. Used a samsung 990 as an external usb 4 +4 theoretical 2.2 GB /sec obviously no diff to 980 or transcend. Hammered it for a while, and no problems.

where is the Seagate 530 ? it's the best drive money can buy IMO. I have 3 in raid 5 on my desktop.

@TechTesters Год назад

It's in the older roundup video, and in an upcoming new one as well. But I cut some drives out of the graphs to keep them legible. The FC530 was fine, but didn't really stand out next to (for example) the KC3000 / SN850X that Blue mentioned.

@markus.schiefer Год назад

Weird, I can easily get the 1 and 2 TB models but I don't even find a listing for the 4TB in Europe. Also can't imagine that the 4TB is so much cheaper than the KC3000 for 370€ when the 2TB 250s is sold for 160€.

I heard good things about the Solidigm SSDs (the ex-Intel SSDs). Do you plan to review them?

@TechTesters Год назад

I'll try to find some, they're not that common over here.

@tuunaes 10 месяцев назад

Most of those drives use cheapo QLC Flash with only P44 Pro using TLC. So prices would have to be low to match quality of tech... What Intel didn't have.

interesting, thank you! @@tuunaes
