The fastest SSD for random reads/writes we've ever tested, but for what purpose?
The Nextorage X Series 2TB is one of the fastest SSDs we've ever tested, but boy is it one of the most expensive, and least practical, too.Our experienced team dedicates many hours to every review, to really get to the heart of what matters most to you.What are you after in your next SSD upgrade? If speed is your primary desire, you will find plenty of it with the Nextorage X Series.
Those are burst speeds, however, and over longer jobs you'll see some significant drop off, namely once the pseudo-SLC write cache has been expunged and the drive falls back on the NAND's native TLC performance. Our sustained write test within IOMeter gives a good indication of when you can expect that to happen: after around 322GB of data has been written to the drive in a single sustained job. That's around 16% of the drive's total 2TB capacity.
For the X Series, which is both billed as a high-performance gaming SSD and a professional workstation SSD, it makes a lot of sense as to why DRAM has been included. Though it does run a significantly higher cost for it. The X Series 2TB model runs up a stark bill at The maximum temperature I measured with the Nextorage X Series under our standard testing was a reasonable 63°C. During the sustained write test, which is less applicable to real-world use, it reached 83°C, which is a tad too toasty for comfort. NAND shouldn't sit at this sort of temperature for very long.
