    KNOWN INFORMATION

    Not much info about it. Many people reporting insane poor reliability issues with the Fanxiang S770.

    Anyway here's a screenshot of the NAND/Controller type >

    I got the drive today. Just for anyone who interested in it.

    imgur.com/a/X…sfI

    Yes. It's Maxio MAP1602A-F3D and YMTC 232 layer TLC NAND. Same hardware as S790 they sell in China.

    However according to the tag on NAND chip, it is not encapsulated by YMTC itself. Could be Hosinglobe as it start with 'HGC'. I didn't find any information about this tag yet. Only risk here is if fanxiang use the lower tier NAND chip for cost down."

    Looks like its no DRAM (HMB) if its MAP1602 others listed

    techpowerup.com/ssd…602"

    SUMMARY

    So my current research tells me this drive is :

    1. TLC NAND based with HMB (Host Memory Buffer) so uses a very small portion of system RAM to cache the drive.

    2. Reliability question mark based on Michael Stinkerings review above, considering he received 2 drives and one was DOA when he received it, also S770 model appears to have a lot of reliability issues.

    3.
    This is the cheapest price for this performance though. If I find out the TBW endurance I'll let you know. YMTC is a direct clone of the Micron 232 layer process, so knowing China they somehow stole this IP and made their own. Based on information here and how incredulous it seems that YMTC have only been in business since 2016 and now can make 232 layer 3D NAND of its own accord techpowerup.com/301…nix

    4. Amazon states 1400TBW for the NAND endurance, easily good enough for 10 years of 383GB a day average every day.

    5. YouTube review above benches the drive at average 7111.78MB read and 6636.2MB write, so pretty much at the limit of what PCIe 4.0 offers. No sustained sequential write speeds referenced, so no idea of post cache sequential performance and cache recovery performance. YouTube review states in the video information Dynamic SLC Cache and 700TBW endurance. No idea where that info comes from. (edited)

    What's the best way to benchmark this? I bought one the other day and have it fitted to my B650E motherboard, Ryzen 7900X3D and 32GB 6000MHz DDR5 RAM. Happy to report findings.

    S770 has issues, I'd go for this and just get a heatsink if you need it. You probably wouldn't on PC at least, other drives with this hardware combo are probably the most efficient out there right now. (edited)

    The 4TB is just £201

    These use the Innogrit controller which has had some issues for some people. Similar to the Adata PCIE 4 drives with issues for not being recognised. So customer service matters.

    If it works all is good.

    Great deal had to get sick of deleting games on ps5

    You don't need a heatsink btw , just leave the PS5's SSD cover off
    Toms hardware tested this. 65c is fine

    Heat added - to think 18 months back i paid 180 for a 1tb samsung 970....!

    I paid 170 for a 500gb 960 Evo a few years ago also. Its like that however firms holding on to stock at rise prices to cash in from technology upgrades are diminishing their returns just like the Nvidia 3 Series cards which have now flooded the market at well below MSRP after the Scalper/Bitcoin crash (edited)

    Lol, who buys this junk when drives from reputable companies are already so cheap…

    But why pay more when the real life performance isn't any better for the more expensive options?
