It is one of the PM983 series SSD for enterprise use that has U.2 connector and 960GB capacity. Now I haven't been satisfied with present SATA SSD on my server because I upgraded my LAN to 40GbE, so I couldn't help but get it. Actually recent consumer M.2 SSDs are faster than the PM983 in term of simply comparison, but I wanted a reliability-oriented product to protect my data or avoid unreasonable troubles. Then, I had found seller tested used one approximate at 10000 yen on ebay, so I had to order it. I could also get a brand-new PM963 or PM953 series at the same price, but their performances are distinct different with PM983. I think it was pretty good deal. The specs is bellow: * Sequential access speed * Read 3000MB/s * Write 1050MB/s * Random access speed * Read 400000 IOPS * Write 40000 IOPS * 1.3 DWPD (TBW=1366TB) * TLC (3bit MLC VNAND) I'd ordered the SSDs on 2nd September, and received them on 14th. They looked good. Their written bytes were less than 1TB. I can say the overall quality is good. ===== Crystal Disk Mark 6.0.2 x64 ===== ^ 1GB | {{ :blog:2019:mzqlb960hajr-00007_cdm_1g_pcie3.png |}} | <code> CrystalDiskMark 6.0.2 x64 (C) 2007-2018 hiyohiyo Sequential Read (Q= 32,T= 1) : 3477.878 MB/s Sequential Write (Q= 32,T= 1) : 1343.090 MB/s Random Read 4KiB (Q= 8,T= 8) : 1420.408 MB/s [ 346779.3 IOPS] Random Write 4KiB (Q= 8,T= 8) : 1031.596 MB/s [ 251854.5 IOPS] Random Read 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 284.364 MB/s [ 69424.8 IOPS] Random Write 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 249.212 MB/s [ 60842.8 IOPS] Random Read 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) : 47.538 MB/s [ 11606.0 IOPS] Random Write 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) : 144.743 MB/s [ 35337.6 IOPS] Test : 1024 MiB [G: 0.0% (0.1/894.2 GiB)] (x5) [Interval=0 sec] Date : 2019/09/15 22:02:39 OS : Windows 10 Professional [10.0 Build 18362] (x64) SAMSUNG MZQLB960HAJR-00007 (PCIe 3.0) </code>| ^ 32GB | {{ :blog:2019:mzqlb960hajr-00007_cdm_32g_pcie3.png |}} | <code> CrystalDiskMark 6.0.2 x64 (C) 2007-2018 hiyohiyo Sequential Read (Q= 32,T= 1) : 3474.642 MB/s Sequential Write (Q= 32,T= 1) : 1156.368 MB/s Random Read 4KiB (Q= 8,T= 8) : 1423.327 MB/s [ 347491.9 IOPS] Random Write 4KiB (Q= 8,T= 8) : 388.278 MB/s [ 94794.4 IOPS] Random Read 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 291.644 MB/s [ 71202.1 IOPS] Random Write 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 172.880 MB/s [ 42207.0 IOPS] Random Read 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) : 47.276 MB/s [ 11542.0 IOPS] Random Write 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) : 136.357 MB/s [ 33290.3 IOPS] Test : 32768 MiB [G: 0.0% (0.1/894.2 GiB)] (x5) [Interval=0 sec] Date : 2019/09/15 22:03:08 OS : Windows 10 Professional [10.0 Build 18362] (x64) SAMSUNG MZQLB960HAJR-00007 (PCIe 3.0) </code>| ===== AS SSD Benchmark 2.0.6485.19676 ===== ^ 1GB | {{ :blog:2019:mzqlb960hajr-00007_asssd_1g_pcie3.png |}} | <code> AS SSD Benchmark 2.0.6485.19676 ------------------------------ Name: SAMSUNG MZQLB960HAJR-00007 Firmware: EDA5202Q Controller: stornvme Offset: 16384 K -

Its speed was stable in 1GB test as far as I tested it several times with CrystalDiskMark. However, in 32GB test, there were variation result particularly on write speed. It was because of a cache overflow, I guess. It slowed down to 60MB/s in the worst case of a 4K1T writing test. For your information, a result the SSD connected with PCIe 2.0x4 is below: <WRAP centeralign> {{:blog:2019:mzqlb960hajr-00007_cdm_1g_pcie2.png?350|}}{{:blog:2019:mzqlb960hajr-00007_cdm_32g_pcie2.png?350|}} </WRAP> Initially I didn't know the reason why the SSD was slow because I didn't notice it was connected with that. en/blog/2019/2019-09-15.txt Last modified: 2020-12-04 10:25by Decomo
