s a hurdle to extended sequential write performance, by allowing more parallelization of the writes for large files once the buffer fills up. TLC nand in 2d form used to slow way down to 120~160mb/s (almost hard drive speeds!) in the first few generations, but this 3d TLC is really fast stuff. This drive is rated for good levels of endurance, and you shouldn't use it up in under a few years without running a server.

Tried transferring some files off the RAID array (which can read faster than this drive) - Started at about 550mb/s and dropped to 495~508mb/s by the end of a 20.x GB transfer of random ZIP files of 300mb to 2.x GB in size while the drive was fresh and new, for a good accurate test.
GREAT performance on an intel Z97 / 4xxx series computer I built a few years ago.
Has GREAT random 4k performance IOPS too (this is what you'll use when you boot Windows and open many complex programs)

I am truly impressed by this drive. The data reads after a month or more haven't slowed down at all. I never bought a TLC-nand drive before, but this 3d TLC nand is really something. If you're an MLC-only kind of guy, and can't quite afford a Samsung 960 Pro NVME drive (or similar), pick this up to hold you over, you might just not care enough to upgrade it after that. It's quite snappy - totally shocked here.

So I found my new go-to for cheap data storage in a machine with about 7-8 SSD's in it, mostly Toshiba drives, if you need to add some storage or want a large boot drive for a new PC, this thing is great. It has pretty good endurance, too, you would be hard pressed to wear it out unless you ran a server, so no worries.
For the Techies:
The speeds on the 1TB model are EVEN BETTER than the 500gb model (though not by too much noticeably to the user), so I am really shocked.
Get the 1TB model if you can afford it. If you just browse the net and don't play many or any games, the 500gb or 256gb model may do just fine.
It's random 4k perf ties/beats my SSD RAID array on the motherboard and the SSD RAID Array on the LSI Megaraid server card, but to be honest, RAID arrays of SSD's while enhancing sequential speeds, don't boost up 4k performance much any, just so you know.
RAID= Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks - these give you reading&writing your data fault tolerance, or more speed, or both, mostly they're for servers or high-end home computers and work-stations.
I do content creation, so I need data-redundancy here, and for that, and occasional large file editing on 3d terrain creation, this drive fits the bill!

Will be getting more of these guys. Can't recommend enough - same with all the tech-site reviewers.

2014年它在我的Toshiba Q-pro上开始运行，我还想说的是，那些是多层单元闪存驱动器，而这个是3D闪存。

3D闪存消除了扩展顺序写入性能的障碍，在缓冲区被填满后，它还是允许对大型文件进行更多写操作并行化。2D闪存在最初几代被用于将速度降低到每秒120～160兆（几乎是硬盘速度！），但这个3D闪存是非常快的。这个驱动器的耐久力很好，但在不运行服务器的情况下你最好别用它。

尝试从磁盘阵列中传输一些文件（它的读取速度比这个驱动器快）从大约每秒550兆开始，到末尾20千兆字节开始降到每秒495~508兆，同时在驱动器是新的情况下，将压缩文件的大小从300千兆字节变为到2千兆字节，以便进行精确测试。

几年前我在一台英特尔Z97电脑上很好的使用了它。

它有很大的固态硬盘4K随机读写性能（这是在启动Windows后打开许多复杂程序时使用的）。

我对这个驱动器印象深刻。我以前从来没有买过闪存驱动器，但是这个3D闪存驱动器真的很好。如果你只是支持多层单元闪存驱动器，但买不起三星960 Pro驱动器（或类似的），可以买这个，你可能不会太在意之后的升级。这快到让你惊讶的。

所以，我找到了一个新的廉价的数据存储设备，其中大约有7到8个固态硬盘，大部分是东芝驱动器，如果你需要增加一些存储空间，或需要给新电脑配置一个大的启动驱动器的话，这款产品就很棒。它很耐用，除非你运行服务器，否则很难把它耗尽，所以不用担心。

关于它的技术问题：

1万亿字节型号的速度甚至比500千兆字节的还要快（虽然对用户来说不是太明显），所以我真的很震惊。

如果你买得起，那就买1万亿字节型号的。如果你只是想浏览网络，不经常或根本不玩游戏，500千兆字节或256千兆字节型号的可能也还不错。

它是随机的4K系统性能优化工具连接足以击败我主机上的固态硬盘磁盘阵列和大规模集成电路服务器卡上的固态硬盘磁盘阵列，但老实说，固态硬盘的磁盘阵列在提高顺序速度的同时，不提高4K性能，你知道的。

廉价磁盘的冗余阵列这些磁盘可以帮助你读取和编写数据容错，或让速度更快，或者两者都有，主要用于服务器或高端家庭计算机和工作站。

我做的是内容创造，所以我需要这里的数据冗余，为此，偶尔需要在大文件里编辑三维创建，这个驱动器符合要求！

我还会买更多这个。无法再推荐更多的内容了，所有技术性网站的评论都一个样儿。

ce (hard drive clunking and thumping are gone), #2 Windows 10 boots faster, #3 Some applications like Quicken 2017 & Excel seem quicker to load (but didn't measure so may be my imagination), and #4 My daily Acronis backup (in the background) of my entire computer to a network drive only took about 1 hour versus 5 hours before (didn't expect this and can't explain it). I had expected a couple C# applications that load huge files taking 13 seconds and 17 seconds to load with my old old drive to load faster with the MX500 SSD but they did not (again I can't explain this). Would buy this drive again!!!
