You don’t have to skip to the summary to learn that both of these SSDs are absolutely fantastic renditions of today’ memory marketplace and just how far we have come in the SSD world. That particular report is a wonderful example of just how far we have come with NVMe and SSD performance. It is the second such example containing the newest 64-layer 3D NAND flash memory we have tested, our review of the Toshiba 1TB XG5 NVMe SSD published just a few days back. This is the Intel SSD5 545s SATA 3 SSD and it is the subject of today’s report. This is specific to SATA 3 SSDs, as their performance has hit their ceiling some time ago, but for those into PCIe SSDs performance completes that sacred ‘speed-capacity-value’ triangle rather well. In fact, this progression is very ‘consumer-centric’ as today’s SSDs, built on the newest 64-layer 3D TLC memory, push higher capacity SSDs to retail at a much lower price. Luckily, NAND flash memory has progressed. It was some time ago that even the mention of TLC NAND flash memory could draw forum confrontations so active that they would inflame contributors, most threads containing language that we definitely wouldn’t want children hearing…or reading in that case.
