addlink’s S95 8TB M.2 SSD Achieves 28GB/s Speed in 32TB NVMe RAID Array

addlink Technology has announced that its S95 8TB Gen4x4 SSD has achieved a sequential read speed of 28GB/s in a 32TB NVMe RAID.

This array was tested on an AMD Threadripper workstation using 4xS95 8TB SSDs with an MSI M.2 Xpander-Aero Riad card on an MSI TRX40 Creator motherboard.

The S95 is a Gen 4×4 NVMe 1.4 SSD that features TLC 3D NAND technology. It delivers read speeds of up to 7GB/s that are more than 14xs faster than SATA SSDs and at least 2x faster than Gen 3 NVMe SSDs. Moreover, this SSD offers endurance, with 2,800TBW for the 4TB version and 5,600TBW for the 8TB version.

To achieve these results, the reviewer used SoftRAID from OWC to stripe the array to RAID-0, optimized for workstation, with a stripe size of 512 KB, providing a total usable storage space of 29.1TB. The reviewer also used various benchmarks and tools, including Atto Disk Benchmark and CrystaldiskMark, to test the array’s performance. In Disk Benchmark, the reviewer measured 17.1GB/s sequential write speed and 27.88GB/s sequential read speed, while in CrystaldiskMark, the measured read speed reached a 28.1GB/s.

The S95 NVMe RAID is fast and high-performing, and it’s also easy to use and set up. It is compatible with various OSs, including Mac, Windows, and Linux, making it for digital content creators, 3D modeling technicians, software engineers, and data scientists who work with large files, such as video/audio editing, 3D modeling, software development, financial/scientific modeling. Additionally, the S95 NVMe RAID is for enthusiasts looking to boost their system’s performance.

In conclusion, the S95 8TB SSD is an addition to any workstation or system, providing performance that surpasses the most demanding requirements. With its Gen 4×4 NVMe technology, this SSD is an excellent investment for those who want to enhance their creative workflow or improve their system’s overall performance.

​The S95 8TB SSD is available for purchase on Amazon.
