HOT ! Various 1TB NVMe with coveted E12 Controller $135 aprox retail

Not open for further replies.
A copy to/from would technically work since NVMe is full duplex, although I'm not sure how accurate it would be. Ideally you'd have one giant file/ISO to test rather than lots of small files. You're right, HDTach is limited, although it may still be useful as seen here; it would just take longer for the drop to occur. I'd have to extrapolate SLC cache size from the results which is a bit tricky but not impossible. Not sure on the limitations of HDTune's free version actually.
 
Looks like 4TB versions using the Phison E12 are slowly starting to appear: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZQSDQDB/
bought the 1TB premium but what are prospects of newer and bigger ones? i recall 2TB was supposed to come but am out of loop. can you give me low down on controller and nand and whats expected?

thanks!
Got my 512GB Inland in the mail yesterday. I should be kicking myself for waiting this long to get one. I've never seen Windows load up so fast.

Question, does Windows 10 1903 handle these drives better than past Windows version? I know in the Windows 7 days that SSD drives needed some tweaking to make sure they lasted a long time.
i think you mean turning off virtual memory. you still have to do that in win 10. i burned up like 3 TB in 1-2 months because of that. i could look at HDSentinal to be exact later

Yes, and you can tell by the design that it's the "new" E12S layout with four NAND packages per side. It's possible they moved to 512Gb/die, 96L TLC, but they could still use 256Gb/die 64L TLC but it would have a higher performance hit than even the current 2TB (~10%). Further the DRAM shown in the picture is https://www.nanya.com/en/Product/4115/NT5CC128M16JR-EK which is only 256MB per side. I think it's more likely it'll be 1GB per side for 2GB total (1/2 normal ratio) based on the E12S designs I've seen. So in total, a move towards making these drives cheaper but not necessarily better.

The irony is that the E12 supports up to 8TB..

Technically. Phison only lists it up to 2TB in the M.2 factor; it requires U.2 for 8TB. The E12 reference design has a total of four NAND packages which at 16DQ (sixteen dies per package) is only 2TB with 256Gb/die TLC. It would be possible to hit 4TB with 512Gb/die NAND, which is possible with both 64L and 96L - the E16 (basically an E12) uses the latter at 2TB to avoid oversaturating the controller (32 CE), SN750 & 970 EVO drives use the former at 2TB to stay single-sided while the 970 EVO Plus uses the latter as well for the same reason. None of them have a 4TB SKU, the E12/E16 would still oversaturate with 512Gb/die NAND. So you'd have to jump to QLC (768Gb/die or 1.33Tb/die for 64L/96L Toshiba, 1Tb/die for 64L/96L Intel) despite Phison listing just "3D TLC" on their spec page. Basically, the controller was not meant for more than 2TB.

Further difficulty exists with the DRAM. Maintaining 1GB:1TB is costly after a certain point, specifically the SN750 & 970 EVO/EVO Plus drives need a 16Gb (2GB) module to stay single-sided which is not cost-effective. Likewise, a 4TB E12 drive would need two such modules. This is why I believe they've halved the DRAM as 8Gb/1GB is much easier. So 4TB+ here is also difficult with the stock E12 layout.

tl;dr they likely cut down the DRAM and increased the number of NAND packages to save money and allow higher capacities on the cheap, plus likely redid the E12 in a smaller process package ("E12S") for the same reason; the E12 is, after all, 28nm. Nevertheless I question its performance at more than 2TB even if it does have 96L & 512Gb flash which it might not, although the NAND code does point towards 96L anyway (likely chosen to unify production with their 4.0 drives, which again do not use 512Gb except for the 2TB SKUs). I would be surprised to see more than 4TB either way.

Thanks for all of the awesome info on these, Maxx. Let me know as you continue to research if you can verify a list of single-sided 1TB E12S part numbers (I'm particularly interested in the Sabrent Rocket, addlink S70, or Corsair MP510 but actually getting a single-sided one in the event that two versions exist might prove to be a challenge -- mixed stock and retailers might be slow to update product listings, if they do at all).

Also - are you aware of any single-sided 1TB SM2262EN drives in existence? TIA.
 
Picked up one of these for $99 at the local MC for use in my Razer Blade Stealth ('17) ultrabook. It fits, but the laptop was meant for a single sided drive, so I'm flexing the drives PCB a bit. So far it's working great, but I'm wondering if I shouldn't swap it for a single sided drive...

yea thats playing with fire in my opinion. Think about the pressure it can cause when something rests against it like sandwiched in a backpack or if your resting your hand on that spot.

Is the chance it could transfer any static or electricity and short that way? I honestly dont know but i am always paranoid about that with those things touching

Yeah, I think I should swap it out for single sided... Now the question is Inland Pro ($95 - Gen3 x2), or Samsung 970 Evo ($170 - Gen3 x4)...
 
New versions of the Sabrent Rocket 1TB are single sided. This is Gen3 x4.
I have one.

Did you get yours from Amazon? I can't remember if you are in the US or not. I just worry about getting an older, double-sided version but I want that drive!

Thanks, Shonk. I suspected 96L NAND and it seems like confirmation there. I also figured they might use 512Gb/die, although I didn't expect it at lower capacities. Also I figured the 1/2 DRAM ratio which you confirm. It states Micron TLC which is a bit odd as physically it looks like Toshiba, but I'll confirm that later unless you want to take a look. Reason being I saw "G63" for the flash code in one picture and that's 96-layer generation Toshiba (BiCS4). I have seen B27A before (over a year ago!) but didn't ever see it coupled with a Phison controller...but it is 512Gb/die.

Thanks for all of the awesome info on these, Maxx. Let me know as you continue to research if you can verify a list of single-sided 1TB E12S part numbers (I'm particularly interested in the Sabrent Rocket, addlink S70, or Corsair MP510 but actually getting a single-sided one in the event that two versions exist might prove to be a challenge -- mixed stock and retailers might be slow to update product listings, if they do at all).

Also - are you aware of any single-sided 1TB SM2262EN drives in existence? TIA.

It's my suspicion that most or all E12 drives will make these changes moving forward, just a matter of when. It makes sense as it fills in the gap before we get true blue 4.0 drives in 2H 2020. It's cheaper and just as fast. However if you follow me or my sub on Reddit, I will post information/confirmations as I get them.

There are no single-sided SM2262EN drives at ANY capacity, same as with the SM2262 drives. Except the Intel 760p! This could change of course but if you're looking for that I'd suggest the Kingston A2000 (SM2263) instead. Excellent drive if you can find it at MSRP. My suspicion is SMI will wait for their new controllers next year, but who knows? I've already seen them moving to 96L flash so maybe a layout change to match the E12S is in the works. (none of my sources could confirm the E12S, even now)

Thanks, friend.

One of you UK gents feel like shipping me a drive? I'd love to upgrade this Precision with a 1TB Rocket. I'm not really feeling like playing the return game with Amazon US, as painless as it might be. Not sure how long to wait until the old double sided stock is flushed from inventory.
 
added the smart info and flash log

Much appreciated. It does seem to be accurate, definitely some changes were made. I wouldn't consider it inferior though. Well, less DRAM, but the SLC cache might have changed to compensate.
 
There's some photo's of it here
btw in older photo's the sabrent sticker was clearly just plastic
its a thin strip of copper now that has been printed ontop of
see picture7

That's the one I need! Guess I'll wait. Or maybe I can get my Irish buddy to post me one.

Probably an aluminum heatspreader. I'd keep an eye on the temps there (your above readings show 59C max lifetime so far). Phison previously had a design like that with the E7, Corsair MP500, which was prone to overheating. Check it after CDM or some such.
 
Its copper take a good look close up at image7 its copper colour
its so thin that it wouldnt make a huge diff anyway but atleast it will transfer through to my heatsink
that i have fitted on it

It hasnt gone over 27 since i owned it (havnt done any nand reads or writes to it still unpartitioned)
when it reached 59 that was at the factory

Thats too cold for NAND, it can reduce its lifespan.
See post 1317.

Its a tricky drive to cool properly because the controller and NAND are linked with the plate, most likely to keep the NAND warm enough.
You really want to cool only the controller unless in a very hot environment, assuming the controller does get too hot a lot of the time.

I wound up switching to the 512GB version to get a single sided drive. Pics on MicroCenter show they are single sided, but out of the ~20 my local MC had, only one was single sided. Glad I could go in person and find one.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for SS 1TB versions and maybe hand this one down to my dad later (he's still on a ~8 year old 120GB Kingston 2.5" SSD boot drive).

They will be warm dont worry about that

The Rocket is sandwiched between an i9 9900KS (upto 230w Heat output) and a Sapphire RX Vega 64 Nitro + with a 1682 Core and a 50% powerlimit (Around 400W heat output)

and the Toshiba XG3's are sitting right infront + Below of the Vega 64

If you find any of the SS 1TB versions, please let me know if you'd be willing to ship one to me. My buddy in Ireland was willing to post me one from Amazon UK but after the £ to $ conversion and shipping, it was going to be within spitting distance of a Samsung 970 EVO. I'm trying to get performance on a budget here! :smuggrin:
 
Tried the 512gb version in my Intel Nuc8i3bek and the drive is not recognized regardless of what I did. Latest BIOS, reseated the drive, etc. have a Crucial MX500 m2 ordered so I’ll try that as NVMe drive seem to be hit or miss with the NUC.
 
I installed a Inland 2TB in my new HP Pavillion laptop with the HM370 chipset. I was worried that the chipset might be gimped compared to a Desktop chipset but I cannot complain about the numbers I get.

My Inland Premium 2TB drives came with ECFM22.4 out of the box. I don't want to risk accidentally downgrading them to ECFM12.3.
 
I havent been on this thread in a hot minute. Did they change the drive or something? Different silicon? Controller etc.?

Sorry way too many pages to read.

I have the original model that is blazing fast. I was gonna get another but not if it was neutered. Sorry if I'm not making sense
Just a few replies I did read, I may have mis- read/understood.

Same controller, just smaller. 1/2 the DRAM. Newer NAND (96-layer). Now single-sided at 1TB. New 4TB SKU. SLC cache changes unknown.

Hmm I just picked up the 1TB Saturday and it was double sided. I guess I got the old batch.
 
The pressure finally got to me. I gave in and got the 512GB version and an external enclosure.
I won't get absolutely full speed but it's going to become my iMac boot drive and is going to have much better 4K QD1 I/O performance.

My current 256GB SATA-based SSD (MX100) struggles a bit on writes, especially on small files. I feel like it's noticeable in the OS now.
Letting it idle and garbage collect helped, but I figure why not upgrade both protocol and capacity, especially at this price.

The MX100 is still in great condition though, and it has lasted me over 5 years now. It will become a drive for a USFF system probably.

Edit: never fails, every single time I order Amazon shipments it rains. I should become a meteorologist

Dropped the Crucial MX500 in my Intel NUC 8i3bek and installed Windows 10 with no issues.

not sure if it was a faulty Inland SSD or just an issue with the NUC and NVMe drive but don’t feel like messing around with it anymore so the Inland is on its way back to Amazon
 
Sabrent version is under $100 on Amazon today. I have been running the Sabrent for a few months with no issues.
