KINGMAX: Premium MLC material guarantees high stability for SSD

As the price competition between memory manufacturers intensifies, more and more SSD products now feature TLC NAND Flash instead. However, the downside of TLC NAND Flash product lies in the fact that when the Buffer/Cache wears out, the memory suffers from noticeable slowdown in access speed. As such, users who are concerned with speed should take the issue of performance deterioration when choosing TLC NAND Flash SSDs. In addition to durability, TLC also has lower erase count. Not only that, since TLC is subjected to more intense electronic signal processing for data storage compared to MLC, it is more prone to write error due to interference. These issues are still valid concerns for TLC structure NAND Flash in the market.

Taking consumers’ needs for data storage into consideration, Kingmax has insisted on using premium MLC Nand Flash for its SSD products at entry-level prices. With standard SATA3 interface and a sequential read speed at 540MB/s, our SME Xvalue-SSDs are built to improve PC performance with extended product lifetime.

KINGMAX: Strong demand for highly stable SSDs

You might not be aware of the fact that the following three different storage architecture configurations are currently available for desktop and laptop computers: Exclusive use of solid-state drives (SSD), exclusive adoption of traditional hard disk drives (HDD), and combined use of solid-state drives and hard disk drives.

As far as reliability and economy are concerned, flash storage arrays with a combination of traditional hard disk drives and solid-state drives currently enjoy great popularity. SSDs make up for the deficiencies of HDDs in the field of random I/O performance, while HDDs are used to balance costs and provide longevity in the field of data services. In other words, by using a mix of a small percentage of SSD and a larger percentage of HDD, computer users are able to meet the high I/O demands of key applications, while HDDs provide storage services for other applications. This creates an optimal balance of cost and performance.

The reading and writing speed of Kingmax 2.5” SSD SME Xvalue reaches impressive values of 540MB/s and 300MB/s, respectively. This product allows consumers with a limited budget to experience the pleasure of stunningly smooth operations. In addition to high performance and excellent stability, SME Xvalue has undergone rigorous testing including anti-shock and drop tests. Quiet and low-noise operations with high speed performance create an excellent user experience.

SSDs are also a great boon for users with a large amount of scattered images, audio and video files, and document files on their drives and provide greater file management efficiency. Resource demanding games that usually take two minutes to load can be launched in 30 seconds if SSDs are used. The performance leap after the upgrade to SSDs will leave users gasping in awe when first experienced. Slow computer speeds will be a thing of the past.

KINGMAX SSD: The crucial part to upgrade your computer

After Q2 2014, many big-named PC manufacturers have claimed that the PC market has finally crawled out of its slump with sales showing noticeable recovery. However, actual observation tells a different tale: most consumers who still find their PCs “usable within reason” would not jump the gun by replacing their out-dated computer. Instead, they keep using their old systems for the sake of saving money. It is really a poor decision, because the rationale behind tolerating terrible PC performance may be equivalent to inflicting self-punishment!

Here’s a scenario that may be all too familiar: After starting up your PC, you leave your desk to make yourself a nice cup of tea/coffee and if you are lucky, your PC would have completed the startup sequence by the time you plop back into your chair. You need to be honest with yourself and ask yourself this question: “Is it really worth it to waste time on waiting for your painfully slow system to save some petty money?” The truth is, you can still upgrade your PC even if you don’t have the budget to do an entire whole overhaul; you can simply begin with upgrading specific components.

There’s no other hardware replacement that will deliver more noticeable change in PC performance than solid state drive (SSD) replacement. For users who have massive number of files for pictures, music, videos, documents, SSD is a godsend in terms of management efficiency! If you are a gamer, your dated computer may take as long as 2 minutes just to load the files for a major game. By upgrading your system with SSD, the whole process may end in just 30 seconds! The dramatic improvement in performance by switching to SSD would surprise users who have never tried SSD before and they will never go back to the crawl speed of their old computers.

With that said, it is worth noting that there are numerous SSD brands available in the market and quality is something that one must watch out for. While poor quality SSD may also offer performance improvement, such products offer no guarantee for system stability. If “price” is your one and only concern for the selection of SSD, the only advice we have for you is: back up your data often; because if your sub-par SSD ever malfunction, you can kiss your lost data goodbye.

Well you might say, “But I don’t have that sort of budget!”

Yes; we at KINGMAX have heard you!

At unparalleled C/P ratio, there’s no better choice than KINGMAX SME Xvalue 2.5” SSD series for entry-level product that delivers performance and reliable stability even for users with limited budgets. With read and write speeds at 540MB/s and 300MB/s respectively, the SME Xvalue is guaranteed to deliver substantial improvement over typical HDD on your system. Furthermore, despite being an entry-level product, KINGMAX has not neglected any attention to other product features such as shock and drop resistance. KINGMAX products are literally noise free and you can enjoy your favorite music without background noise when the product is running. If you are confident with your DIY skill, definitely go for KINGMAX M.2 (NGFF) SSD! The product is compatible with both PCIe and SATA interfaces for truly versatile application. Presently, KINGMAX M.2 (NGFF) SSD is available in two dimensions: 2242 and 2280, both of which are standard specifications akin to typical hard drives in the market.

For those who expect exceptional read/write speed, there’s no reason not to choose KINGMAX 2.5” SSD SMG Titan series. In addition to unparalleled performance and stability, the read and write speeds at 550MB/s and 520MB/s respectively to deliver even faster data access speed!

KINGMAX instruction DIY Computer setup with SATA III 2.5-inch SSD

It is not really hard to DIY a computer. But there are so many components, like mother boards, display cards, powers, RAMs, etc. Every component has many options for choosing, and they often confused users. At first, you should make sure what do you need. It is important! If you finally make up a computer which does not meet your need, then you may doubt that why do you work it by yourself.

This article is an instruction for solid-state drives (SSD):

A solid-state drive (SSD) is a data storage device using integrated circuit assemblies as memory to store data persistently. SSD technology uses electronic interfaces compatible with traditional block input/output (I/O) hard disk drives, thus permitting simple replacement in common applications. Also, new I/O interfaces like SATA Express are created to keep up with speed advancements in SSD technology. Most SSDs use NAND-based flash memory, which retains data without power. For applications requiring fast access, but not necessarily data persistence after power loss, SSDs may be constructed from random-access memory (RAM). Such devices may employ separate power sources, such as batteries, to maintain data after power loss.

For different users, there are different needs. For example, an user who used hard disk drives (HDD) all the time, so he does not know why should he update his HDD with more cost. In this case, an entry type SSD is a good choice! And for game players’ need, the professional type SSD do excellent performance with higher speed. And KINGMAX promise the file maintenance. KINGMAX knows that any file corrupted may eat game players’ heart out.
