Test Project [Keep hold of industrial trends,Foresee the future of science and technology]

Positive SSD Outlook

  • The influence of new generation SSD control chip on SSD performance gets more and more attention.
  • The price of NAND flash based SSD tends to decrease in the long term.
  • SSD enterprise clients are on the rise .
  • Performance and stability are enhanced so market popularization rate also increases.
  • SSD has a bright outlook in the long term.

1H09 SSD Performance Test


see http://www.dramexchange.com/WeeklyResearch/Post/5/2017.html

Project Benefits

  • Raise product sales with product introduction for main SSD makers
  • Promote brands
  • Use DRAMeXchange expertise to confirm product performance
  • Consolidate positions and advantages in memory market on both sides

Testing Goals

  • DRAMeXchange tests mainstream and advanced SSD products in the market so as to inform the IT industry and purchasers of the latest SSD transfer rate and performance. A comprehensive comparison is made based on performance test and user environment test to truly and fully reflect the SSD performance.
  • Products will be sorted by control chip and product price then tested with benchmark software. The test covers read/write, file access and system efficiency as well as file copying in advanced application environment.
  • Power consumption will be observed on end products with considerable SSD applications, for example, notebook.
