The collective price increase of solid state drives, how should the builders choose?

Mondo Digital Updated on 2024-03-07

I really didn't expect that after the year, the ** of solid-state drives is still rising, and many people who build computers have said that solid-state drives will become a new type of financial product. I was planning to buy a 4TB SSD last year, and I thought it was a bit high, and I estimated that there would be a slight drop in the next year, but I still miscalculated. According to reports, since August 2023, due to the global shortage of flash memory, the price of solid-state drives (SSDs) has begun to rise wildly, and as of February 2024, the mainstream PCIe40 SSD 1TB specification*** is about 72%, 2TB*** is about 61%, and 4TB*** is about 54%. So do you have any other options for those who urgently need to build a computer in the near future?

Recently, there has been "good" news from domestic storage:

First, Huawei released the consumer-grade SSD, the EkitStor Xtreme series MThe 2 NVMe SSD, which is said to be Huawei's own main control + YMTC flash memory, has a read speed of 7400MB s, and it has three major algorithms, which increase performance by 15%, life by 10%, and reliability by 30%. However, Huawei's consumer-grade SSD is still relatively expensive for PC builders, but its significance is that it can drive more 3C brands to make consumer-grade SSDs, enhance competitiveness, and promote market stability.

Second, Zhizhi and Guangwei have successively launched YMTC QLC SSDs and provide a 5-year warranty. Therefore, even if the price of SSDs rises collectively, there are still many products to choose from, such as:

The Zhizhi series includes TiPlus5000, TiPlus7100, Ti600 and TiPro7000. One of the most popular among consumers is the TiPro 7000 series SSD, which uses PCIe 40 interface, read speed up to 7400MB s, strong performance, ** relatively close to the people, suitable for users who pursue cost performance.

Guangwei aspect,In my opinion, Guangwei is the pioneer of domestic storage,Occupy a place in the storage market,What is more impressive is the days when memory and SSD** soared a few years ago,Guangwei defended the bottom line of the storage market with its incomparable cost performance,At the same time, it also let Guangwei, a domestic brand, enter the sight of more consumers。 Subsequently, Guangwei launched the first domestic chip SSD and DDR4, marking the opening of a new situation in domestic storage. In 2021, Guangwei once again stood at the forefront of the industry and took the lead in launching DDR5, leading the full popularization of DDR5.

Guangwei SSD also has several series, among which Guangwei is PCIe40 SSD, using domestic chip scheme, Lianru main control + YMTC flash memory; The flagship version uses YMTC TLC flash memory, with specifications of 512GB 1TB 2TB 4TB; The latest performance version (Yi II generation) uses YMTC QLC flash memory, directly starting with 2TB large capacity, and the current ** is 819 yuan on a certain east e-commerce platform, which is quite close to the people!

If it's just a general daily office need and the budget is not high, a 2TB SSD is enough; If, like me, you need to store a large number of ** files or movies, I recommend choosing a large capacity to satisfy at once. Personally, I compare my favorite performance version (Yi II generation) 4TB, Guangwei Yi II SSD is slightly cheaper than Zhizhi TI600, and foreign QLC SSD, the current ** is 1529 yuan, 12 interest-free is still acceptable.

Summary: Based on the above, if you just need an SSD build computer in the near future, then Guangwei Yi PCIe40 SSD (Yi II) 2TB 4TB is undoubtedly the best choice, with read and write speeds of up to an astonishing 7000MB S and 4500MB S, which is far beyond the reach of traditional SATA SSDs.

Finally, I would like to add that although the current QLC SSD is not much different from the TLC SSD, with the continuous progress of technology and the in-depth competition in the market, we have reason to believe that there will be more and more YMTC QLC SSD products, and the first will be more accessible to the people. At the same time, it can also ease the tension of the current SSD market, and is expected to bring SSD back to the era of cost performance.
