Renice Releases X9 RSATA 2TB Solid State Drive

[btarunr]

Recently, Shenzhen Renice Technology Co., Ltd., a Shenzhen-based high-end solid state drive manufacturer, announced that the company will release its 2TB R-SATA interface-based solid state drive in early April of 2016. R-SATA, or Rugged SATA in short, is the unique interface that has been designed specifically to address vibration and the shock problem during application. It can efficiently resolve the undesirable intermittent contact or potential signal spikes resulting from vibration and shock in the SATA gold finger connector.

The release of Renice X9 R-SATA SSDs shall bring a new highly reliable and big-capacity solution for its long-time industrial users. The X9 R-SATA SSDs have abundant highlights. They actually use Renice's own SATA3 controller RS3502-IT that not only assures the independence or controllability but also provides a product lifespan of 2-3 times similar products in the market with its unique NAND flash control algorithm.



The patented "method and system for data backup of solid-state drive during some kind of abnormal power failure" technology will be visibly demonstrated in the X9 R-SATA SSDs. Even when the tantalum or super capacitors utilized for power failure data storage ages till a remainder of 25% after 3 years, this patented technology can still warrant the completion of all data transfer from the DDR in abnormal power failure conditions. As of now, there is no other manufacturer in the world providing a solution to counter the risk of data loss due to such capacitor aging.

Renice X9 RSATA SSDs can also support pSLC implementation via scarifying of MLC memory capacity by halving in order to achieve nearer SLC performance and reliability. This will be an inevitably attractive solution for industrial users who require enhanced reliability with cost pressure.

Is this company any good? I'm interested in 2TB drives and so far Samsung is the only one offering it. And they have one of the best controllers, I wonder how good Renice really is. Mostly how reliable and how consisten performance it offers...

I wish all producers decide to kill the SATA junk interface for future SSDs. Dinosaurs went extinct, is time that SATA and HDD follow the same path

You are are aware that PCI-E based SSDs have only benchmark high numbers and their theoretical extra performance are close to 0 in real world use when pinned against SATA SSD drives.

What should they use instead? And how would you build cheap media streamers? Would you get 16TB of storage for €500?

A bit early about that . If they do so, we are doomed as private customers to pay quite some cash for decent amount of storage.

While high sequential is nice, very high IOPS at any queue depth is what makes the biggest difference. As well as consistency of data transfers. If SSD manages to always max out SATA3, you won't notice any difference.

I like my SATA drives.

You obviously haven't tested a Samsung 950 Pro. Do a simple file transfer; you will be enlightened.

A file transfer from what, exactly? No USB device or network device can keep up with sata 3, let alone PCIE.

And I have a 950 pro in my alienware. Aside from booting 2 seconds faster, there is no notable difference from using my mx100 as the boot drive. Game loading times are pretty similar, some like ftl take LONGER to load, and there is no interface that can take advantage of said high speeds to make even data transfers worthwhile.

The 950 pro is the lambo of SSDs. Super fast, but expensive and you can use the speed outside of test tracks, making them useless to the average consumer. M.2's primary advantage is it's tiny size, but until prices come down and they fix the problem of M.2 drives running much hotter than 2.5 inch ssds, M.2 will never own the market outside of tiny ultrabooks,

RAM does. People forget we aren't only loading data from external devices to our SSD's, but we also read data from SSD's into memory.

I was referring to a file transfer from the drive to the drive which is a very practical scenario. Another common example is if you compress or decompress files.

M.2 will not just be prevalent in ultrabooks. It works very well for micro-ATX, mini-ITX and the soon to be mini-STX form factors. Whether you want it to or not, SATA is already being phased out and this will happen much faster on small form factors where port density isn't required.

$182 (256GB) and $323 (512GB) on Amazon is reasonable for that fast of performance. Your problem is that you don't have a use case that can fully utilize the 950 pro's capabilities to understand and appreciate it as much.

 

[Prima.Vera]

Good points here from everybody. Well, my mistake, what I wanted to say was actually, not to phase off completelly SATA from our lives, but to phase it only from future releases of SSDs, since is already a huge bottlenecker for those drives. I still need SATA for my HDDs and BluRay Writer...

transfer from it to itself or from another 950 pro? of course it's gonna be fast. but what's the point? I hight doubt you have 2 of these, like I hight doubt you use them as data storage.
we all still use HDDs for large data storage because of the price and doing so samsung 950 pro will be as fast as the HDD permits it to be on data transfer between them. Otherwise boot times, game loading times, software loading times aren't much faster at all in comparition with SATA SSDs.

Be silly to phase out SATA, they more likely do a SATA 4 than do away with it, unless that adopt the m.2 connection to 2.5 drives as they keep piling these chips on these drives the space it's taking makes me think we will see the 3 1/2 inch SSD drives again ( for the consumer ).

I will not be getting a M.2 drives for the reasons you already pointed out, which all so makes me thing this m.2 connection will pop up on 2 1/2 inch drives as the casing can be used for cooling which i already do with my drives once they go passed the warranty.

I cannot see me ever buying a M.2 drive ever unless they start having their own casing and are mountable in other than a dumb place.

Maybe the connection in the above is what it's going be all about.
