    aqarwaen29 reacted to porina in Lesser brand SSD drives   
    Following another post, I've decided to buy a bunch of lesser brand SSDs to test for myself. Note my uses are niche, so the value proposition wont apply to everyone. Basically I have lots of crunchers which have their own disk for OS. Previously I just bought whatever was cheapest at the time from a known brand, usually Sandisk or Kingston at the lower price end. They don't need much more space than that needed for Windows and a bit of breathing space, so 60GB+ is decent and plentiful, at a comparable price-per-GB compared to the bigger size branded drives, but the branded ones go up in cost for smaller capacities. 

    After much hunting on ebay I've decided to order 4 low cost 60-64GB drives to try out.

    Hectron X1 60GB
    Kingfast K6 64GB
    Fastdisk 60GB
    Hypertec Firestorm 60GB

    There were some others with lower stated write speeds so I decided against them. I have a bunch of recent Kingston and Sandisk SSDs I could compare against, as well as older OCZ and Intel models.
     
    Benchmarks used were CrystalDiskMark and AS SSD. After reviewing the results, I decided to only show 3 of the 4 tests from CDM as representative of general performance. I would caution I only ran the benchmark once for each unless there was something obviously wrong with the results. Run to run variation may move the positions around a bit but not in a significant way. The Samsung PM951 drive gave low random write performance initially, and this moved up to expected speeds once I disabled write cache flushing in Windows for that drive. This setting didn't seem to make any difference for other drives in a quick look.
     
    I've colour coded a bit to make it easier to see how classes of product compare. In yellow, we have PCIe connected SSDs. These are the only ones capable of breaking the SATA interface barrier. In blue are assorted SATA branded SSDs. In green are the small capacity lesser brand SSDs. And in red are the spinning hard disks. On that note, the Toshiba 3TB is a 3.5" 7200 rpm drive. The Seagate Momentus XT is a SSHD with a flash cache of some GB but otherwise is just a hard disk. The two Hitachi hard disks are 2.5" laptop drives. You can guess which is 5400 or 7200 rpm from the model name.
     

    This is the best case read speed, and no surprise the PCIe drives blow the others away. The lesser brand drives are at the lower end of the SATA SSDs, but this may be more due to the small capacity. The hard disks take up the rear.
     
     

    For sequential writes, things shake up a bit. The Samsung PM951 drops down the ranks, possibly a combination of it using TLC and relatively small capacity. The Toshiba 3TB HD holds strong, and the lesser brand SSDs even drop below the hard disks. So if you have a lot of sequential writes, hard disks can still be competitive especially if you need the capacity also.
     
     

    The queued random reads separates the SSDs from the HDs quite clearly. While we have a big spread amongst the SSD models here, even the slowest one is significantly faster than any of the hard disks.
     
     


    The situation is similar for queued random writes.
     

    Random reads again perform similarly to before, just slower overall.
     
     

    And similar again for random writes, with the interesting observation the lesser brand small SSDs manage to outpace bigger Samsung PM871 and Sandisk Plus SSDs here.
     

    Overall, I never expected these to be miracle performers, and they are not. What they are, is good enough performance for general tasks, and still far faster than hard disks in most situations. Due to their small capacity, if you did have a large quantity of sequential operations a hard disk would be a more interesting option anyway.

    The Fastdisk comes in a retail blister pack.

     

    Opening it up, we see a short board, with 4 flash devices and controller on one side. Peeling off the sticker reveals the SM2246XT. I'm not familiar with the logo on the flash. Text on the flash is:
    PFC54
    -10AR
    1552

    Separately in the corner is: VCBK or VCCC depending on the chip.
     

    The reverse side shows 4 unused positions, allowing for a doubling of capacity if they were also used.
     
     

    The Hypertec didn't come in any packaging. The drive seems a bit different, since the company appears to be a UK one, and manufactured in Mexico. This isn't your typical drive from China.
     


    On this side we only see the controller chip under a thermal pad. Peeling away the pad reveals a SandForce SF-2241. There are 8 unused flash positions.
     
     

    On the other side we find another 8 flash positions, with 4 of them used. There is no logo on the chips, only the text "10-2182-01-MTX-1AP".
     
     

    The Kingfast comes in a cardboard box.



    Opening it up we see the drive held inside more cardboard.
     


    Internally we see a small board. It is interesting this drive reports under AIDA64 as a 1.8" drive, so it could be a rehoused part. There is the SM2246XT controller, and a single flash device fitted to one of 4 positions.
    In the middle of the chip is marked:
    6EC27
    NW686
    PF579 S8
    The white block has a faint Micron logo in it.

    To the side of there are another two lines of marking overlapping each other:
    H641604
    T56H
     
     

    On the underside, there isn't anything of note.
     


    The Hectron comes in a package with thin card outer sleeve.
     


    Inside that outer sleeve is a card covered foam holder. Note the drive was supplied in an anti-static bag, which is not shown here as I had unpacked it earlier.
     


    On this side of the board we see the SM2246XT once again. There are 8 flash positions of which 4 are filled.

    The chips have GLOWAY on the top, and H27QDG8D2B8R which a search indirectly comes back with Hynix 16nm MLC. Under that is: B1B 1616. Gloway seems to be a manufacturer of SSD products also.
     
     

    The other side of the board has 8 more unused positions for more flash.

    aqarwaen29 got a reaction from theninja35 in computer keeped in different conditions!   
    so my idea for linus is.
    that he should built few computers what are all kept in different conditions.
     
    for example one will be burried completely in underground soil.
    one computer would be conditions where it is in moist environment.
    some ohter will kept in very dusty environment and so on.
     
    all theys computers would be built in way,that they would not instantly fail.
     
    long term goal would be to test how it would effect performance in long term and how long hardware would actually endurance then used actively.

    Its a non relevant card for reviews.
     
    Linus did a 1030 review and said why they dont do low end cards.
     
    Because the represent a terrible value in every way and often are even beaten by integrated graphics.
     
    The 1010 only exists because of some old crappy systems that dont have a igpu.

    aqarwaen29 reacted to RichardBirch in The God of Impractical Laptops - Dell XPS m2010   
    Well that's interesting! I have a similar vintage Dell XPS M1710 (and a Dell Precision M90, which is basically the professional version of the same platform), and the graphics cards are the same form factor as this. You could load this up with a Quadro FX 3500M if you wanted (or a GeForce 7950GTX, although they're basically the same). What's more, via Windows Update, there is a proper Windows 7 driver for it which even works in Windows 11. Yes, seriously. Thankfully Dell/NVIDIA did release updated drivers, because you will not find them online at all. The laptop uses the same 130W power brick. Weirdly the laptop has a better resolution 1920x1200 display which was incredible for the time. I can only assume they couldn't get a 1920x1200 20.1" panel for the M2010, hence the lower resolution.
     
    There's actually a good few different GPUs for these things, from a lowly ATi X1300 128MB, through varying levels of NVIDIA GeForce cards to the 7950GTX 512MB. Some of which you could cross flash between GeForce and Quadro BIOSes. The NVIDIA cards were known to cook themselves, but the ATI cards were more reliable. Also, the lower spec cards only have a single right hand heat pipe, whereas the beefier ones have one on the left too.
     
    Secondly, there's a possibility that the BIOS supports overclocking if you install a Core 2 Duo T7600G. The G on the end is very important. That chip can overclock from 2.33GHz to 3.16GHz, via a literal clockspeed slider in the BIOS that adjusts the unlocked multiplier of the chip. It ramps the fans up too. I've attached a screenshot of what the overclocking screen looks like on an XPS M1710.
     
    Finally, that subwoofer is the same as they used in the Precision M90/XPS M1710, and it does even sound good in those too! Windows 8 ran BEAUTIFULLY on this thing. Even better than 7 I'd say. It was usable well into 2013/2014 - I used it when my MacBook was in for repair. It was one of the earlier devices to come fitted with a 802.11n DRAFT spec WiFi card, and with three aerials instead of the usual two. You could spec it with a 320GB WD Black 7200RPM HDD which was pretty speedy for the time.
     
    I created this account to pop a message on here because I usually comment on YouTube but that's about as useful as peeing into the sea.

     
    EDIT: I totally forgot to mention - if you're worried about the GPU cooking itself (which happened a lot with the 7950GTXs), use I8KfanGUI - it’s designed specifically for older Dells and you can manually force the fans to run at whatever speed you like and set a custom fan speed curve. I've found a hacky way of installing it without having to disable driver signature enforcement, so it'll work on Vista/7/8/10/11.

  22. Funny
    aqarwaen29 reacted to da na in why cant gpus be socketed like cpus   
    Well, they require special power delivery circuitry and VRAM which is different for every GPU. That's why they have an entire massive board.
  23. Funny
    aqarwaen29 reacted to Pixel5 in why cant gpus be socketed like cpus   
    yes that would certainly be possible and there was a time when something like this existed for laptops but the big problem here is that a GPU needs a massive power delivery a massive cooling solution and on top of that super fast memory that also needs to be actively cooled.
     
    in the end it would be nearly impossible to design a socket and PCB that would work for all kinds of GPU´s and you could end up with stupid stuff like having a 3090 chip but then maybe you only put in slow memory that slows down your GPU a ton.
     
    there would simply be no advantage at all to make a GPU socketed.
