Zhizhi Ti600 SSD Evaluation: The read speed is over 7000MB s, and the capacity is upgraded to 4TB

Mondo Digital Updated on 2024-01-29

In recent years, the capacity of both games and film and television content has achieved explosive growth. A game occupies dozens of G space, and it is common to travel down ** and dozens of G. Therefore, for many users, high-capacity SSDs have become a rigid need. In this regard, YMTC's brand Zhitai launched the TI600 series of SSDs in the third quarter. While maintaining high performance metrics, ** is also more affordable, and the series officially launched a 4TB version today.

Unboxing. The Ti600 series previously had three capacities: 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB, and users have more choices after adding 4TB. The 4TB version continues to feature the blue packaging of the TI600 series, which also looks younger and more energetic.

The gold label in the upper left corner is printed with the label of YMTC XTACking technology, and the model number is marked with PCIe 4 support0 m2。In the lower right corner is a 4TB capacity and a 7000MB S read marker.

Open the package and include the SSD, set screws, and installation instructions. It contains two sizes of screws and a gasket nut to meet different installation environments such as notebooks and desktops.

The 4TB version also uses YMTC original QLC flash memory chips, based on YMTC's innovative crystal stack XTACKING 30 architecture, with a single chip interface speed of 2400mt s.

The Zhizhi Ti600 4TB maintains the 2280 single-sided PCB design, which is also conducive to the upgrade of notebook and game console users.

Especially today's mainstream thin and light laptops, notebooks and even PS5 game consoles and other devices, most of them only have one M2 interfaces, in order to achieve capacity freedom, 4TB or even larger capacity is the choice of many users to upgrade.

What's more, with the iteration of technology, QLC has also made significant progress in performance and longevity. According to the parameters given by the Cause, the Causestate Ti600 4TB achieves sequential read and write speeds of 7000MB s and 6000MB s, and random read/write speeds of 900K IOPS and 800K IOPS. The whole series also gives a 5-year warranty, and the durability level of 4TB has also reached 1600TBW.

As an ordinary user, you don't have to worry about the life of the product, just use it with peace of mind.

Performance measurement. Let's take a look at the measured part, the test platform uses the i7+14700K with Z790 platform, dual-channel DDR5 32GB memory. The graphics card is AMD RX6750XT.

The TI600 series is also equipped with Smart Tool management software, which can easily manage hard disks and upgrade firmware. It can be seen that under the motherboard armor heatsink, the standby temperature of the Ti600 4TB is 40, and the read/write temperature at full speed is about 46.

Using the CrystalDiskMark test of the theoretical speed, the CrystalDiskMark test shows that the Ti600 4TB has more than 7100MB s of sequential reads and 6000MB s of sequential writes. The critical random 4K reads, which also reached 75MB s and 320MB s, are already compliant with the high-performance PCIe 40 hard disk standard.

The Zhizhi Ti600 4TB adopts an HMB-free design, which is based on the SLC Cache intelligent caching strategy, which simulates a part of the SSD space into SLC. In the HDTune file benchmark, set the test data volume to 100GB. It can be seen that during the whole process, the read speed of the Zhizhi Ti600 4TB is stable at about 6000MB s, and the write speed is around 5500MB s.

Set the file length to 200GB of the HD Tune peak, and the Ti600 4TB write remains at about 5500MB s.

From PCIe 30 old hard disk copy more than 500g game files, can reach 2Speed of 5GB s. Once you already have more than 500GB of files on the disk, then download another PCIe 30 old hard disk copies 120G**, the number is close to 200, and the Ti600 4TB still maintains a write speed close to 2Gb S. It can be seen that the SLC Cache intelligent caching strategy shows better performance under large-capacity hard disks.

Practical scenarios. For SSDs such as the TI600 4TB, which has both performance and large capacity, the ideal use case is of course as a data disk. Whether you're a gamer or a video creator, the 4TB capacity is more than enough. If a desktop user directly installs two, one as a game disk and one as a work disk, there will be no capacity anxiety for a long time.

Nowadays, the game capacity is very large, and with 4TB, you can store a few more locally.

As a data disk, more consideration is given to the read speed, which is sufficient for the performance of the Ti600 4TB.

For Apple users with expensive hard disk space, the Zhizhi Ti600 4TB is also an ideal choice for space expansion. With a Thunderbolt 3-capable SSD enclosure, an iMac or MacBook can quickly get a high-performance, high-capacity hard drive. Although limited by the transfer speed of the hard disk enclosure itself, as a large-capacity material library, the speed of video editing is enough.

For Apple users, this way of expansion is also very convenient. Because with the iPhone 15 series using the Type C interface, both desktop and mobile terminals can be expanded in this way, and the efficiency is also very high.

Take the iPhone 15 Pro in your hand as an example, the **and** taken on the mobile phone can be directly pulled to the Zhizhi Ti600 4TB. As long as the C-port data cable is connected, the newly added OTG drive letter can be directly seen in the file manager, and no additional operation is required in the process.

The iPhone 15 Pro has a transfer speed of 10Gbps, which is fast in either pull** or 4K**. Friends who like to shoot with iPhone know that the volume of Apple's 4K** is not small.

Of course, the Zhizhi Ti600 4TB can be used as an expansion disk, and you can also connect other materials to your iPhone or iPad for direct editing.

Copy the footage from your iPhone or iPad to the Ti600 4TB and edit it directly by connecting it back to your iMac or MacBook. I've tested the read and write speed before, and it's very smooth as a material disc.

Another advantage of editing directly on the Ti600 4TB is that you don't have to copy footage to your desktop, which takes up very little hard drive space and maintains the speed of your iMac or MacBook system itself.

Summary: The large capacity of a single disk is the future.

Around performance, capacity, ** can be said to be the eternal topic of SSDs. Every time flash memory particle technology is developed and upgraded, the related discussions are even more enthusiastic. For consumers, what is more important is whether technological upgrades bring benefits. Obviously, under the premise of being close to the people, it is possible for QLC SSDs to popularize 4TB and even higher capacity.

In this regard, the Zhitai Ti600 4TB is at the forefront of the industry, based on the XTACKING 30 architecture technology, taking into account both performance and quality. And from the actual performance, the Ti600 series is also PCIe 4A high-performance solid-state drive under the 0 platform. The 5-year warranty time of the Ti600 4TB also breaks the last concern of the QLC SSD.
