RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3200 MHz CL14 2x8GB Here is the list of benchmarks we will use:īefore passing to the tests, here is our test bench… Test bench We have added/updated some benchmarks for our SSD suite, such as the loading time of the FFXIV Demo, PCMark Vantage HDD Suite and upgraded to the new version of CDM 7. PCMark 8 (Storage Benchmark) is the “ most accurate” test of all in which we will base the actual performance of a storage device for the daily use of a normal consumer, although it does not simulate all the types that a user may have.įor the average gamer public this test is the one that resembles a daily use. There is no “ single test” that can replicate a real use, but they exist to give a reference of the possible performance of the product in testing in different scenarios. Unlike what most people think, storage benchmarks are mostly synthetic and do not reflect real-life performance, as the type of use given by each final user varies.

Specification Chart – Silicon Power P34A60 PCIe Gen3 SSD 512GB The MBTF (average time before failure) is 2 million hours. In the 512GB presentation, it comes with 4 NAND chips, each 128GB and the back of the PCB does not contain any circuit (only the PCB tracks).Īt this time (at the time of writing) the 512GB P34A60 is priced at 56.99 USD (Amazon) and the unit comes with a 5-year warranty. The NAND Flash memories they use are one of the advances Intel/Micron made (during their marriage) and are the 64-layer 3D NAND TLC ( 29F01T2ANCTH2).

No, it is simply a solution that Silicon Motion among others, opted to reduce costs without sacrificing much performance and still have a good performance for the price. This means, that the memory does not have its own memory (cache) and depends on a tiny portion of RAM for certain functions that increase the performance of the unit (also known a HMB). Yes gentlemen, the Silicon Power P34A60, unlike the P34A80, uses another controller to the Phison E12 and is the old known, Silicon Motion SM2263 XT.
