Silicon Power decided to use 96-layer TLC NAND from Toshiba in the XD80 SSD. We had some good results on Toshiba NAND, so it’s a good sign. The XD80 SSD also uses the Phison PS5012-E12S-32 controller, which is getting popular in faster SSD series. The only surprise can be 512 MB of Xi’an UnilC DDR3-1866L DRAM. UnilC is a Chinese brand that is quite new on the memory market but already creates its own projects. So far, the XD80 SSD is the first product where I saw UnilC memory.
Below is a screenshot from the CrystalDiskInfo, which is showing that the SSD is in perfect condition.
Additionally, here is a screenshot from AIDA64, which is showing some more details about the drive. As we can see, the throttling point is set at above 70°C. As long as the SSD will have at least standard airflow, it shouldn’t throttle. During tests, the temperature was below 70°C, so if there was any throttling, then minimal and didn’t affect our results.
Let’s move to the next page to take a closer look at the package and the drive itself.
