Biwin Black Opal X570 PRO 4TB Gen5 M.2 SSD Review
Biwin continue to amaze us with their growing range of high-performance and competitively priced storage products. It’s no wonder that Biwin make products for some of the biggest names in the industry, with their own factories, they’re able to select components to ensure premium quality at every step of the process. While their latest drive isn’t what I would call cheap, that’s hardly surprising, as it’s a 4TB Gen5x4 M.2 SSD, delivering massive storage combined with extreme performance. In short, you’re paying a lot, but you’re getting a lot. Plus, if that’s outside of your budget, there are 2TB and 1TB versions of it available too.
Biwin X570 PRO Gen5 M.2 SSD
The Biwin X570 PRO Gen5 M.2 SSD boasts exceptional speed, engineered for power users who demand peak performance. It leverages PCIe 5.0 technology to achieve remarkable read speeds of up to 14,000MB/s and write speeds of up to 13,000MB/s, representing a significant leap over Gen4 drives. This advanced speed eliminates data transfer bottlenecks, making it ideal for demanding applications such as high-end gaming, professional content creation, and AI training.
To ensure consistent and reliable performance, the X570 PRO incorporates advanced thermal control technology. A 6nm controller, coupled with up to 8 NAND channels, enhances both data transfer and power efficiency. An intelligent algorithm and multi-layer graphene thermal pad work in tandem to provide superior heat dissipation, even under intense workloads. The inclusion of 4GB of independent DRAM Cache significantly boosts random read performance, reaching 2,000K IOPS, and reduces frequent NAND writes, thereby extending the drive’s lifespan and improving overall system responsiveness. Additionally, Biwin provides free Acronis backup software, simplifying system and software migration for users.
