Announcing the TechPowerUp SSD Specs Database

[GabrielLP14]

MP33 Pro review, with a different controller (a much better one actually).

This is the VLO readout of mine:

I visually checked the controller to verify that it's using the RTS5765DL.

The Cardea Z330 gives an identical NAND output, except the controller name is different. I also visually checked the controller here as well, RTS5763DL.

Team Group have relabeled the NAND, so it's entirely possible it's prone to change.

Thank you so much, this will help a lot, i'll add them today after lunch (9AM here) having a cup of coffee

By the way, how many Packages (NAND Flashs) does the SSD have? 4? And also is it double sided (your unit)?

Both are single-sided, with 4 NAND packages.

@W1zzard Do you plan on writing an app to submit information?

Would also be cool if you could sort by read & write speed. Adding MSRP would also be nice.

Btw. heise.de has also a great database if you're missing something.

Actually you can

Check the advanced Filter

And thanks for the suggestion, that will help a lot, the main issue is finding decent reviews with good data

Thank you for the useful addition.

You can refine the search, but sorting drives by speed from fastest to slowest isn't possible. Right? That would be really great (if possible).

The thing is, sequential speeds (the most-advertised and easiest to find) don't always mean a drive is fast(er). Unless you're wanting this addition just for academic interest, instead of real-world comparing drive performance.

For example, I can see a lot of 1st time noobs on like LTT forums misusing this, saying the fastest sequential drive is best when it isn't necessarily. Could mislead uninformed people IMO.

Not at the moment.
We'll try

Agree, there can be a big performance gap between "on paper" performance & real world performance. The Samsung SSD 990 Pro is a good example.

You always have to check reviews. But for "pre filtering" it wouldn't be bad if you could sort by theoretical speeds.

Epic. Nice one for implementing this, @W1zzard

The ranges in the "Capacity" filter need some adjustment. The first four are 480 GB ... 999 GB isn't OK because it includes everything from 480 GB to 960 GB.

* A 960 GB SSD belongs in the same range as 1 TB (1000 GB and 1024 GB)
* A 1,92 TB (1920 GB) SSD belongs in the same range as 2 TB (2000 GB and 2048 GB)
* Similar for higher capacities

we'll take a look at that, it makes sense indeed

Just bear in mind that these are the VLO i could find, there are probably more out there, so we'll need help from whoever is interested in helping to map it out

It's missing a version the one that uses 96 layer Intel NAND

This is a great idea and a very important database, thank you very much. I see some disks have their pSLC cache sizes shown but others don't - I understand it's up to the manufacturer to have this parameter available and it requires testing by hand, but to me it's the most important metric. Buying a large and supposedly fast SSD but with a tiny buffer makes no sense when copying large amounts of data. Sure, you may not do it very often, but when you do, you get angry My Crucial P2 1TB model has QLC memory chips instead of TLC and it's a nightmare. The TLC model is pretty awesome, but on mine... the pSLC buffer is approx. 32 GB in size but after it fills, the write speed falls down to ~60 MB/s. Yes, you read that right.

So... thank you for all the hard work you put into this but if it is possible, try to include approximate (p)SLC buffer sizes whenever possible.

Thanks for this useful database!

hmm ... how would you adjust the ranges?

because its up to use to find out, manufacturers don't share these datas

Just one question though, did yours came with N28A dies?

I want to make a minor correction to that PM961 page - the drive was also available in 128GB (the capacity I have).

In the same motif: PM981 'MZVLB'
These are more on the generic-side of datasheets, but still useful?: Samsung 830, 840 EVO, 840 EVO (Page 7), 750 EVO
Additionally: Transcend 370S, HSD370.

For some of these I'll try to get a VLO and pics.

These older Samsung drives i didnt add because i couldn't find any decent data on their NAND Dies, which does make my life harder since back then samsung didn't send their products for ISSCC :/

Like these newer samples for example

Oh regarding the PM981, i could swear i had added it before because i even tested one last year, but it was the "PM981A"
