Mechanical hard disks are now relegated to supporting roles. Solid-state disks are already a must-have product for installation, and the price is not very high. Moreover, good solid-state disks can bring a smoother use experience.   Master Lu's Q1 hard disk ranking for 2019 was released, and Western PC SN720 narrowly beat Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus by a small margin to become the next generation consumer performance champion.
West number PC SN720 takes first place.
The ranking data are from 2019.1.1 to 2019.03.31.   In order to reduce the impact of niche products (servers) on the list and make the list more valuable for reference, the data samples are all data with more than 1,000 tests.
In addition, the hard disk is a single model that only displays the same type of solid state without capacity distinction. For example, Samsung SSD 970 EVO, 256G, 500GB, etc. of the same specification are classified into one type. The ranking list only displays the fastest version of 500GB.

Xishu PC SN720 is different from the published green SSD, blue SSD and black SSD. It belongs to the new PC SN series and has stronger performance than the previous Xishu black disks.   The SN720 is based on a new master control architecture and uses its own 64-layer 3D flash memory. Its maximum sequential read-write speed reaches 3400MB/s and 2800 MB/s. It is an SSD for positioning enterprises.

The Samsung 970 EVO Plus ranked second is familiar to everyone. The 5th Intel 900P reads and writes 2.5GB/s on a nominal basis and 550,000 IOPS at random. However, if you want to play 900P, you must go straight to Core X. At least the X299 above Core i7-7800X is the exclusive property of fever level players.
According to the comprehensive list, Samsung has 4 items on the list, with the largest number.   Samsung has industry-leading flash memory particle technology and drive master control system, and is the leader in the industry.   Most of the hard disks on the list are more than 500G g. After the price dropped, users' demand for large-capacity SSD increased significantly.   The mechanical hard disk failed to break through in performance and did not make the list.
Most Popular Hard Drives: Solid State and Mechanical Drives
The list of the most popular hard disks is based on the number of users. The first Seagate mechanical disk had too many users in its early years to have the latest reference value.

The second and third places were all occupied by Kingston's solid-state drives, while the west number blue disks occupied the fifth and sixth places.
Kingston products have good compatibility and are loved by the market.   As a mechanical hard disk, Xishu Blue Disk takes both performance and price into consideration and has a good performance-price ratio in the current mechanical hard disk.
In the annual report, it has been analyzed that users prefer to use SSD+ with small capacity and mechanical hard disk with large capacity due to the previous price increase of solid state disk, which is also why the list of solid state disks and mechanical hard disks shows five and a half points.   At present, 240GB, 250GB SSD with 1TB, 500GB method has become the mainstream
