Hi Guys, I am an Australian-Chinese who live in Melbourne. Recently, I have noticed that China has already made SSD so I made some research and even bought a few of them myself. Here is just some simple guild about those Chinese made SSD, please notice that it does not means Chinese SSD brands but product of China, from the controlling chip to NAND chips are all made in China.
1st of all, all those SSD, no matter what brand they are, their Nand chips come from one company, named Yangtze Memory Technologies Corp （Chinese 长江存储）, here is the wiki link ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yangtze_Memory_Technologies ). Needless to say, it is on US Entity List, which means that in most of the west countries you may not able to use it for goverment departments. For the controlling chip, they are either InnoGrit 5236 （Chinese 英韧5236，the company's website in English
https://www.innogritcorp.com/）or Maxio 1602 (Chinese 联芸1602，the company's website http://www.maxio-tech.com/?cur_lang=en) The difference is, InnoGrit 5236 come with DRAM and Maxio 1602 does not, they are both PCI-E 4.0. However, I have heard a lot of reports that those SSD with 5236 controller has serious disk drop (all in a sudden disk disappeared from your system, it may recover after that but you will lose all your data
) and 0e problem because its main control chip is very hot. Thus,I personally would not buy any of those ones. However, for Maxio 1602, it does not have the problem but, no DRAM!
Here are some of those products, please notice that FOR MOST OF THEM, 512G PRICED AT 300 RMB 1T PRICED AT 400 RMB, 2T ABOUT 650 RMB AND 4T PRICED AT 1400 RMB WITH MAXIO 1602 CONTROLLER AND YANGTZE MEMORY 3DTLC NAND IN CHINA. YOU CAN FIND SOME OF THOSE ONES IN ALIEXPRESS.
1.Zhitai, it is the subsidiary of Yangtze Memory. Thus, their products are the best, however, I personally don't recommand this brand because its products are not that much cheaper than those internationally famous brands, such as Samsung, Kingston. So yeah, the prices above does not apply to this brand. Its Tipro series SSD is something that you don't want to buy because 5236 controller. Their S7000 however uses 1602 controller nevertheless, price matters.
2.Fanxiang, this brand even has its own shop on Aliexpress, the price is good but not as good as it is in China. Here is the link (https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1102321189?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.16.2cd743ed17RABx ). All their products are good to buy, except its S770, why? InnoGrit 5236
3.Aigo, you can find some of its P7000 M2 SSD on Aliexpress as well, however, be careful, P7000D and P7000D only uses 5236, that is something you don't want.
4.Acer, its GM7 family are all good to go.
I am sure that there are some other brands that you may not heard of from China that I did not list here. However, what I have done is list all those fairly well known brands in China. If you have some question about some Chinese SSD brands, please reply, I can check it out for you, and also, I hope this can help you guys.
