A selection of the cheapest and fastest SSDs from Chinese online retailers [2020]

Good time!

Each of us wants to buy a quality product at a cheaper price (yes, many will say that "free cheese is only in a mousetrap ...", and yet ...).

If you think so, then a store selling on the Internet has a number of advantages, due to which it can sell goods much cheaper (it does not need a seller, beautiful shelves and showcases, does not need to pay rent, make repairs, etc.). And what if the manufacturer sells directly to the factory ...?

Actually, in this article I will give a small selection of manufacturers of SSD drives, from which you can buy goods literally for "pennies" - like you, for example, SSD 120-240 GB for 800 rubles.?! This is quite real if you use all the possibilities: a discount as the first customer, cashback, a coupon from an online store, etc.

That's just about all this, and there will be today's note ...

Perhaps the only drawback of this method is that the product must be pre-ordered and wait until it arrives at the post office (on average, from 1 week to 3).

Top 5 SSDs worth looking out for

KingDian (S280 series)

Store Link: AliExpress

Price: from 800 rubles.

Instructions: how to buy a product (and get a discount)

Appearance of the drive KingDian

A very well-known manufacturer of drives, sales are carried out directly from the factory (which is why you can buy a 100 GB SSD for about 1000 rubles).

Despite the rather low price, it shows very good performance (pleasantly surprising). Utilities like Victoria do not find any problems with memory cells, SSD works no worse than drives from more famous manufacturers.

Pros:

  1. quite long service life: 8 years, provided that you write 100 GB per day (for a 240 GB disk);
  2. good work speed (see the screenshot below, it can withstand its declared 500 MB / s);
  3. low price (taking into account the potential cashback and $ 2 coupon that AliExpress gives to all new users - then the disk is beyond competition, and almost for nothing ..!);
  4. wide range of model range: there are drives from 60 GB - up to 1 TB;
  5. thickness of the drive - 7 mm (can be installed in most ultrabooks / laptops);
  6. 3 years warranty (at least manufacturer's declaration).

Minuses:

  1. there are no fasteners included with the drive (if you buy for a PC - at the same time look at the "sled" at once);
  2. nominal temperature sensor (does not reflect the real picture). However, this series does not overheat.

Reeinno (Sirius T series)

Store Link: AliExpress

Price: from 1100 rubles.

Volume: 120 GB, 240 GB, 480 GB, 960 GB

Reeinno Sirius T-960 disk appearance

A very good series of SSD drives from another well-known Chinese brand. They differ primarily in their good read speed (~ 500 MB / s), compatibility (SATA 3.0; SATA 2.0; Windows XP / 7/2003/2008, DOS, Linux, Unix), relative reliability (3 years warranty from manufacturer).

By the way, this manufacturer has pretty good RAM dies.

Pros:

  1. relatively low price (from 1200 rubles!);
  2. high read speed (the disc can withstand the declared 500 MB / s);
  3. long warranty period: 3 years!
  4. 3000 write / rewrite cycles;
  5. SATA cable included with the drive (though short);
  6. the model range is not characterized by overheating (by the way, the drive works tolerably at temperatures up to 65 ° C) - it can be recommended to those users who get hot (for example, residents of the southern regions of the country).

Minuses:

  1. write speed does not exceed ~ 400 MB / s (compared to the previous model - it loses by 100 MB / s);
  2. the temperature sensor does not show up-to-date information;
  3. there is a certain percentage of defects: some disks do not "keep" the speed (from 50 MB / s it "falls through" to 300).

KingSpec

Store Link: AliExpress

Price: from 1300 rubles.

Volume: 120 GB, 240 GB, 480 GB, 960 GB

External view of the KingSpec drive

In my humble opinion, this lineup of KingSpec discs does not differ much from KingDian (except for a slightly lower write speed and slightly overpriced). However, this is offset by faster delivery and original packaging with a hologram.

Otherwise, the disks are identical (both in terms of speed characteristics and reliability criteria).

Pros:

  1. relatively high read speed ~ 500 MB / s (write speed is noticeably lower than 350-400 MB / s);
  2. discs are delivered directly from the manufacturer's plant (each has a hologram);
  3. 3 years warranty (the manufacturer promises to replace the disk during this period free of charge);
  4. full metal body;
  5. rather stylish packaging (of course, this is not a plus for the disc itself, but still ...).

Minuses:

  1. lower write speed for discs up to 240 GB (at least in relation to 2 previous model series);
  2. the temperature sensor is not relevant (like other competitors ...);
  3. there is no SATA cable or any mount included.

480GB Drive Test Results

Londisk

Store Link: AliExpress

Price: from 1500 rubles.

Volume: 120 GB / 240 GB / 480 GB / 960 GB

Packing with disk and SATA cable

A Korean manufacturer with an official office in St. Petersburg (this means that the parcel will reach you faster, besides, there is no official status).

LonDisk drives are slightly more expensive, but you get extra. warranty (5 years in total). I also cannot help but note that LonDisk drives have a consistently high read / write speed without drawdowns (even when copying large enough files, up to 5-7 GB).

Note: Pay attention to memory cards from this manufacturer as well. There are interesting options ...

Pros:

  1. good read speed (up to 540 MB / s), write (up to 480 MB / s);
  2. one of the longest warranty periods: 5 years!
  3. CDs are shipped from Russia (i.e. the goods can be received on average a week after ordering);
  4. the set includes a SATA cable and a few screws;
  5. official representative office in St. Petersburg.

Minuses:

  1. higher price (compared to competitors).

Samsung 860 EVO

Store Link: AliExpress

Price: from 3000 rubles.

Sizes: 250 GB, 500 GB, 1000 GB

Disc package

The disks of this manufacturer are one of the most expensive on the market (the price tag starts from 3000 rubles), but I could not ignore it. According to the results of the read / write speed tests, they occupy a leading position in the market. And if competitors can still compete with them in terms of sequential speed, then when it comes to randomly writing blocks of 4 KB in size, then here they are not in competition (more on this in more detail) ...

In general, Samsung is Samsung (by the way, despite the fact that the product is sold in a Chinese online store, these drives are from the official manufacturer!).

Pros:

  1. high, and most importantly, stable (without drawdown) operating speed (up to 540 MB / s sequential read / write speed);
  2. the set includes: screws, a screwdriver, a slide, a SATA cable (i.e. the drive can be immediately connected to almost any PC or laptop);
  3. 5 years warranty.

Minuses:

  1. high price.
