#DISKMARK FUTUREMARK UPGRADE#
Idle power consumption is an important aspect to consider, especially if you're looking for a laptop upgrade as even the best ultrabooks can have mediocre storage. We use the Quarch HD Programmable Power Module to gain a deeper understanding of power characteristics. This should not be an issue for general use but does suggest that 2TB is becoming the new sweet spot as time goes on, at least for high-end drives with TLC. It’s clear that 1TB is not enough to reach peak performance for the SN850X. The SN770’s pSLC response is a bit different, which makes sense given its market segment and DRAM-less nature. It appears the denser flash has trouble out-writing the 1TB SN850 and, in fact, the SN850X only out-writes the SN770 that has the same flash.
This is a very large cache, but once it is depleted the SN850X drops to below 1GBps with its TLC writes at a bit over 900MBps. Having both static and dynamic pSLC is becoming more common as it balances consistency with flexibility. It does appear to have a hybrid cache, as the first 2 seconds write a bit differently. The 1TB SN850X writes at over 6.4GBps for almost 46 seconds, showing a cache of around 295GB. We also monitor cache recovery via multiple idle rounds. We use Iometer to hammer the SSD with sequential writes for 15 minutes to measure both the size of the write cache and performance after the cache is saturated. Sustained write speeds can suffer tremendously once the workload spills outside of the cache and into the "native" TLC or QLC flash. Most SSDs implement a write cache, which is a fast area of (usually) pseudo-SLC programmed flash that absorbs incoming data. Official write specifications are only part of the performance picture. Sustained Write Performance and Cache Recovery We cannot say much for high IOPS being necessary at this time, however it is likely the SN850X would do better in simulated DirectStorage tests than the original SN850 and other non-Phison drives.
#DISKMARK FUTUREMARK PLUS#
All of these drives provide enough performance for a good experience, although the P5 Plus notably falls behind the rest. The SN770, which has the same flash, does remarkably well. The SN850X is a little bit weaker in the 4K tests and actually seems to do better with Game Mode engaged. WD has geared the SN850X to achieve particularly high performance in this area. Even the original SN850 does well against the Platinum P41 there. With the exception of the low queue depth write test, the SN850X still pulls away but cannot topple the Platinum P41. The original SN850 falls behind a bit.Įvery drive in the test does well in CDM’s sequential tests, except for the SN770 which does not have enough bandwidth potential to keep up. However, the SN850X is right up there, showing that WD optimized it for higher write performance. This is demonstrated by the Rocket 4 Plus and Fury Renegade. Phison controllers do well in ATTO’s sequential tests due to their high peak performance.
