With reference to Kioxia's presentation at IEDM, as commented on by Ian Cuttress on 30-Dec-2019, I have some comments. My general point is that I think Kioxia is trying to do some spin doctoring here, to promote the idea that NAND flash is the way to go for Data Centre storage in general. And...

I see. Well, that basically confirmed what I thought. All of what I wrote should be very well known to Reviewers, and people who understand how SSD's work. So let's make it simple: Why doesn't Anandtech follow what the Manufacturers and SSD associations recommend for testing SSD's? And if...

I've been looking at a lot of review sites, and a common thread is that there is very little consistency amongst them. Either between Review sites, or quite often even from one Review to the next on the same site. This varies from Revew site to site, and I'd say in general, the Anandtech site...

In any case, I appreciate your input. I've looked at pretty much all of the review sites, but not really looked at Reddit. I've never really been on it much. But if you post on that, I'll have a look at your stuff. I wish that the SSD reviewers had a better archive of information, such as the...

Thanks: a very helpful reply. First of all, my comment about being single or double sided is based on what I've seen with some SSD's, especially 2TB, where it can add a significant constraint in terms of the package/die variants, and DRAM that the manufacturer can use, for the desired cost...

Hi Newmaxx, Excellent and very helpful reply. Not only to the initial Poster, but to me too. I will go over my math for how I got to my conclusion that the potential speeds were wrong: I'm sure what you've just posted is correct. I've probably made a mistake with Gb and GB somewhere, and bits...

So Billy, and NewMaxx, could we please hear your input with respect to the actual question that was posted? That would be very interesting. Especially with regards to my comment that the internal drive is an SN750. Which the Tweaktown Review did not mention, and quite possibly never know, and...

Thanks for the reply. And as I said at the start, I'm interested in SSD behaviour, and I'm still learning. My MAIN point is that I don't think that this external SSD can actually transfer at the claimed maximum speed. I might well not have identified the actual bottle neck very well, but yiou...

"Deeply confused" am I? Heh heh heh..... Well, seeing as you guys are one of the reviewers distributing information about SSD's, then I think that means something as well....:-} So yes, I understand that the relationship between the controller and the NAND chips is quite complex, but at the...

I've just seen this post, and I don't know about it in particular, however I AM interested is SSD behaviour in general, so this is my feedback. The Tweaktown Review, in my opinion, is not very thorough. And that CanucksReview was also not very good. If you look at HardwareCanucks Review, you...

Hi, I've been a lurker, and am busy researching benchmarks to make myself a better metric for assessing SSD's. But based on what I've seen so far, I'd suggest you look at the 2TB Addlink S70 as an option based on "speed" alone. When you say "faster", it's a bit vague, but if you look at...

When you list the bin sizes for the IO Size in Storeage Bench Heavy and Light, the Sum of itemised percentages for Heavy adds up to only 87%. Where are the other 13%? I understand that they lie outside the listed packet sizes of <4kB, 4kB, 8kB etc. But where are they? Wouldn't it be better to...
