One of the most affordable branded 256 GB SSDs with SATA3 interface. Made in a plastic case, the dimensions of which correspond to the form factor 2.5″, and the thickness is only 7 mm. It is positioned as a product of the base price category of 2018, focused on use in hardware configurations of PCs and laptops of an entry-level or mid-level. It can be successfully used as a system drive and for upgrading existing systems. An important feature of the GOODRAM CX400 SSDPR-CX400-256 SSD is its high sequential and block read/write speed (550/490 Mbps), low latency when accessing arbitrary data, and favorable storage cost (per 1 GB). The Phison PS3111-S11 bufferless controller with a small integrated memory array (32 MB) supports high-speed SLC write caching, improved LDPC hardware error correct...ion algorithms, full-fledged SMART monitoring, TRIM and NCQ technologies. Toshiba's high-quality TLC 3D NAND flash memory makes a significant contribution to performance and durability. The I / O performance of such a drive is 5-10 times higher than that of consumer HDD drives. Not superfluous will be much less power consumption, which is fundamentally important for extending the battery life of the laptop. The manufacturer does not claim a guaranteed recording capacity (TBW), but provides a three-year warranty.

    9 May 2022 
    i got the 256GB version for $50, originally to replace a deceased HDD on a 2003-5 computer. The system loaded, but it didn’t start: as we read on the internet, it was due to AHCI, which we didn’t have. We were disappointed, and after a year, we got a laptop, which had an NVME SSD, so there was no real need to install this one - we didn't want to void the warranty and felt it was a waste to spend $12.5 on something so trivial. So, we put this SSD into an external case; USB3.0 clearly wouldn't limit this device, I thought, and it turned out to be true because when filled to 25% with just one game, the speed in CrystalDiscMark showed 460MB/s for reading and 258MB/s for writing. Similar models had significantly better reading speeds. Even the worst NVME SSD in the laptop for 6000 lei has radically higher speeds—2134MB/s for reading and 180MB/s for writing, but forgive me, it’s filled to 52%, so it seems to me the "good memory" lacks reading speed. Overall, if you aren’t a picky fool like me, compared to an HDD, it's a monster; formatting takes a few seconds, and installing Windows XP takes 3 minutes compared to 15 on the dead HDD. Files transfer quickly; the benchmark speed matches real-world speed—I haven’t transferred heavy files, but those up to 1GB indeed load at 250MB/s. It's also significantly lighter than an HDD even compared to a 2.5" one - you can feel it, and they're silent, which is pleasing, as is the fact that they're solid-state. When a friend dropped my 2.5" HDD from a height of 10cm, my heart sank, and I started checking for bad sectors, but with this drive, I'm at ease.
    compliance with the speed stated in the benchmark, quietness, weight, phone compatibility (HDDs don't have this), durability (I'm not worried about it like I am with my 1TB HDD), appearance (no frills, unremarkable), presence of a 32MB buffer. I'm not sure how much it helps, but it transfers small files without "throttling," it formats very quickly - less than a minute even to a different file system, price - $50 for 256GB, and with its parameters, it was an excellent option for me, others, as tests showed, were worse or identical.
    low reading speed - 460MB/s is like the cheapest options, it's very disappointing because other drives offered up to 550MB/s, but who knows how they would perform when filled at 25MB/s it's also frustrating that it didn't work with a bucket from 2004... but that's minor

    The body is made of matte black color plastic, stickers are glued on both sides.
    By barcode - Poland
    It works on a single-core dual-channel Phison PS3111-S11 controller without an external Dram buffer, for key functions, 32 MB of Sdram buffer is built into the controller itself.
    In the test for line recording, the initial speed was 462 mb / s with 490 applications.
    SLC cache stores here 2.5-3% of the free memory, but the maximum is + -6-8gb, and then the speed drops to 78 mb / s.
    The temperature sensor appeared to be blocked and for the entire hour of testing the indicator did not change.
    Test drive can be viewed on Youtube below

    I have been using it for more than 3 months, I took it for Windows and VR. everything seems to be cool - on the first tests there were all the declared 550 mb / s. Now, in terms of download speed in windows and games, the difference between the SSD and the new HDD is practically not noticeable (maybe it's in windows itself), but still the SSD is much more mobile, for example, if you need to take VR with you, just take an SSD, graphics card and the VR glasses themselves.
