Solid state drive (SSD for short) is a hard drive composed of an array of solid-state electronic storage chips. Compared with traditional mechanical hard drives, SSDs have the advantages of faster reading and writing speeds, lower energy consumption, and higher stability. It has gradually become one of the important storage media in computers, servers, game consoles and other equipment.

SSD testing puts forward higher requirements for testing efficiency

Efficient and reliable SSD expansion test solution

High expansion, high efficiency, and high cost performance have become the development trend of the SSD testing industry. On this basis, LR-LINK launched the PCIe4.0 x16 to 4-port built-in SFF-8654 8i NVMe expansion card (Model: LRNV9F48). Provide users with efficient and reliable SSD expansion testing solutions.

A company needs to conduct large-scale SSD tests and adopts 's high-speed SSD direct connection test solution. The main configuration is as follows:

Test platform: TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI+i7-13700K
Expansion card:  LRNV9F48
LR-LINKHard drive model:  160 long-term storage WDS2TB PCIe4.0 x4

This test  uses the CrystalDiskMark (CDM) tool in the performance read and write test. The test results show that after running five times and testing 1GB of data each time, the maximum read and write speed of the SSD reached 7101.19MB/s and 6233.56MB/s, reflecting the actual continuous read and write speed of SSD.

Looking forward to the next five years, driven by the surge in enterprise data and user storage needs, the SSD market demand will usher in further growth, and the requirements for SSD quality and performance will also become higher. At the same time, the application of PCIe to NVMe expansion cards will be further promoted and improved. LR-LINK will also continue to develop more stable and highly scalable PCIe to NVMe expansion cards to provide better solutions for SSD expansion, helping users achieve more efficient and faster detection and reliable delivery.
