Following the 600P series, Intel once again launched a new 760P series SSD solid state drive products. Compared with the previous generation 600P SSD, this new 760P SSD also adopts the PCIe3.0x4 NVMe M.2 interface design, and is also equipped with Huirong Technology's SMI 2262 eight-channel main control chip and its own Intel 64-Layer 3D NAND TLC particles have improved the SSD transmission performance to 3230/1625MB/s sequential read and write and 340K models">340K models"> 340K Model">340K Model">340K Model">340K Model">340K Model">340K Model">340K Model">340K Model">340K Model">340K Model">340K Model">340K Model">340K Model ">340K model">340K model">340K model">340K model">340K/245K IOPS 4K random read and write performance, and also provide 5-year warranty service.

From the official specification sheet, we can see that Intel SSD 760P series solid-state drives currently have 128GB, 256GB and 512GB capacity specifications, and the MTBF durability specifications can reach 1.6 million hours.

The Intel SSD 760P solid state drive tested this time is the 512GB version with the largest capacity specification.

In addition to the capacity specification and product serial number, the outer box seal also indicates the firmware version and manufacturing location of the hard drive.

On the back of the box, it is also marked that the Intel SSD 760P solid state drive is designed with M.2 2280 specifications, and can support NVMe interface and PCIe3.0x4 transmission bandwidth, and it can also be seen below that this hard drive also provides a 5-year warranty service.

The package contents of the Intel SSD 760P solid-state hard disk are only a paper manual and the main body of the hard disk packaged with anti-collision packaging material.

The sticker on the front of the hard drive is full of models, specifications, firmware versions, manufacturing locations, and some safety certifications. Under the sticker is the AD7376ARUZ50 main control chip, cache memory and flash memory particles carried by the Intel SSD 760P solid state drive.

The 512GB version of the Intel SSD 760P solid-state drive still has space for two flash memory behind it, and it may be possible to launch a 1TB version in the future.

After tearing off the sticker on the front, you can see that the main control chip of this Intel SSD 760P series solid-state hard drive is the SMI SM2262 control chip launched by Huirong Technology. From the official specification, you can know that this main control chip is made of 8-channel transmission design, and can support NVMe1.3 specification and PCIe3.0x4 transmission bandwidth, the maximum transmission speed can reach 3200/1900MB/s sequential read and write and 370K/300K IOPS 4K random read and write.

Below is the SMI SM2262 control chip architecture diagram provided by Huirong Technology for your reference.

The 512GB Intel SSD 760P series solid-state hard drive has two Micron DDR4-2400 memory chips with the model number D9TGQ set next to the main control chip as hard disk cache space, with a single capacity of 512MB.

The storage particles of the Intel SSD 760P series solid-state hard drives use their own Intel 64-Layer 3D NAND TLC particles, while the 512GB 760P hard drive is equipped with two Intel 64-Layer 3D NAND TLC particles with model number 29F02T4AOCTH2. The capacity has reached 256GB.

The read and write performance in the 4K-64Thrd test project can reach 228466iops and 273676iops, and the final result is a total score of 3214 points.

●ATTO Benchmak test

When actually using the ATTO software to test, the read and write performance of the Intel SSD 760P solid state drive can reach about 3100MB/s and 1590MB/s.

●CrystalDiskMark test

When the CrystalDiskMark software is set to the random data option, the read and write performance of the Intel SSD 760P solid-state drive in sequential read and write projects can reach approximately 3171.5MB/s and 1603.5MB/s, and the read and write performance in 4K projects can reach approximately 76.36MB/s vs 224MB/s. When the data option is set to 0Fill mode, the read and write performance of the Intel SSD 760P solid-state drive in sequential read and write projects is about 3168.9MB/s and 1608.6MB/s, and the read and write performance in 4K projects can reach about 76.41MB/s s with 236.6MB/s.

●TxBENCH software test

●ULINK DriveMaster 2015 Dirty Disk Performance Test

In addition to the basic performance test, this time also specially borrowed DriveMaster 2015 SSD professional test software from ULINK, a company specializing in SSD testing, to test the performance of the Intel SSD 760P solid-state drive in a dirty state. . Here, let’s briefly explain what dirty disk is! Generally, the performance of SSD products will decrease with the increase of written data, and the dirty disk test is to see the degree of impact on performance of SSD after the amount of writing increases gradually. , to detect the degree of performance degradation of the SSD product after long-term use. Of course, the smaller the degree of degradation, the less the SSD can maintain a certain transmission performance even in a dirty disk state.

The test dirty disk script provided by ULINK this time is mainly to continuously write data to the hard disk in a random manner of 4K, and the test will end when the writing amount reaches twice the capacity specification of the hard disk, and the test will be performed in units of every minute. Record the current data volume, IOPS, performance percentage and other data. The Intel SSD 760P solid state drive tested this time is a 512GB version, so the test write volume will reach 1024GB. The data chart below is the relationship between the data volume and IOPS performance of the Intel SSD 760P solid state drive in the dirty disk state. The X-axis represents the amount of continuously written data, and the Y-axis is the IOPS performance corresponding to the data volume. .

From the curve of the actual test data chart, we can see that the transmission speed of this Intel SSD 760P solid-state drive has dropped to about 56,000 IOPS when the write volume is only about 30GB, which is only half of the initial transmission efficiency, and then the write volume When it reaches about 250GB, the performance drops to around 20,000 IOPS. From 400GB to 1,024GB, the performance declines more slowly. Finally, when writing to 1,024GB, the transmission performance is only about 6,079 IOPS, which is only about 5% of the initial performance. .

●Test summary

On the whole, after Intel's newly launched 760P SSD solid state drive uses control chips and storage particles, the performance of sequential read and write or 4K random read and write has indeed improved, which is about twice as fast as the previous generation of 600P. In terms of pure performance, it is indeed an excellent SSD product, and it also provides a 5-year warranty service. It should be a good product choice for users who require transmission performance. However, judging from the performance test results of 4K random write performance on dirty disks, although the performance of Intel SSD 760P is still a little faster than SATA at the beginning, the performance decline after the increase of write volume is more obvious, which can only be expected. Can the new firmware be improved in the future?
