    Avoid, shrinkflated with DRAM cut and poorer quality NAND versus the old Gen 4
    And it's Centre Com

      What's wrong with Centrecom?

    • incipient on 17/03/2023 - 15:00

      It's a fast, budget ssd. I would expect dram on a $130 ssd, but for $82, eh.

      Because it does use hmb, it just means you really can't run it on an 8gb ram system.

        apparently victorians have had service issues with centercom, to say the least

        When it comes to returns, they dont really give af. They wouldn't let me return/exchange a faulty dp cable i purchased the previous day because it was the weekend and the testing team only worked weekdays. What a joke. Apart from that experience apart from being really slow to prepare click and collect orders theyre ok

        You do know how HMB works right? The HMB uses 64MB of your RAM. If you have a 8GB RAM based system and cannot spare 64MB, something is seriously wrong.

        The controller in this is E21 so it is not easy to beat it. It may not quite reach the SN770 performance level, but it is in the same tier. You really need to push this SSD hard (in server type workload, and has to be constant load) to notice the difference.

        • incipient on 18/03/2023 - 12:18

          Honestly. Not in detail lol. I thought the dram cache on an ssd was for ultra-fast caching of tiny files and use by the controller. I guess they only use hmb for the controller memory?

          I thought I had a dramless ssd that was reserving about 500mb+ of host memory. Must have been wrong.

          • netsurfer on 18/03/2023 - 12:34

            @incipient: It's mostly used as a file location mapping table. DRAMless SSDs don't take much memory and bank on you won't be writing a lot of files to the SSD for prolong period of time.

            Writing heaps of small files for a long period of time would expose DRAMless SSDs. However, it is still hard for general public to notice because even flagship SSDs cannot write small files (4K or less) very fast, unless you really do a comparison (but honestly, that's really wasting time).

            The HMB is small because SSD makers prefer to sell you the more expensive SSDs with DRAM. For servers, most certainly go for SSDs with DRAM, for home use, it depends.

      I bought the item brand new from their eBay and expect to get the retail packaging, but then, they repackage it and send in a smaller box, so dodgy.

        this defies belief… taking apart the item and then repackaging in a smaller box means you're paying a guy to do this… to save a few bucks on a smaller box???

        HDD?

      • gromit on 18/03/2023 - 10:52

        did they repackage or did they just box up bulk purchased OEM items that don't come with retail packaging, would expect it is OEM as repackaging would be more expensive than just paying the shipping.

      It'll work, but degradation could be bad as PS5 doesn't support HMB.

      PNY CS3040 1TB M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD

      That would probably be better as it has DRAM.

        It is a bit difficult to properly evaluate Phison E16 based SSDs (like PNY CS3040), especially the 1TB version. While it does have DRAM, you really need to be in situations where that really matter.

        For PS5, it is hard to claim E16 is better than E21. Even though E16 has 8 channels vs E21's 4 channels, in terms of max bandwidth, they are the same (because E16 is a somewhat dated controller). 4K Random IOPs, E21 also beats E16 (even if it just a little bit).

        Sony has stopped using zero fill test for read speed test, so E16 is also below specs. If you factored that in, then is it really worth the extra? Any E16 SSD that claims to be suitable for PS5 would have done it really early on (due to its ability to cheat in zero fill test, and guess what E21 cheats even better in zero fill test). There is a good chance the E21 based Gigabyte 5000E outperforms CS3040. The sustained write test, if Gigabyte done it right, E21 should win as well. That leaves CS3040 with high TBW and if you really have situations where DRAMless SSDs tank in performance. However, in those situations, wouldn't you go for something better (i.e. E18, 980/990 Pro, SN850/SN850X).

        tl; dr: No, for PS5, CS3040 won't perform better than 5000E due to controller and NAND differences.

    • netsurfer on 18/03/2023 - 11:36

      It's a good deal, especially if you can pick up.

      This SSD appears to use Phison E21 with TLC NAND. It's a good cost effective option. While it is not able to beat the NV2 1TB all time low price, you are getting a SSD with E21 controller done right, not like NV2, which really has too much cost cutting and wasting E21.
