SSD Prices Keep Climbing—How to Choose the Right One? KingBank SoarBlade KP270 Hands-On Test Provides the Answer
Lately, memory and hard drives have been skyrocketing in price—truly changing daily. When building a PC now, you naturally want to choose products that offer strong performance and better value for money.
Today, I'm introducing a hard drive that delivers flagship-level performance at full PCIe 4.0 speeds, features a dedicated cache design, and comes at an affordable price: the KingBank SoarBlade KP270 1TB SSD.
The KingBank SoarBlade KP270 SSD boasts a robust hardware solution, featuring a controller chip from Innogrit, a manufacturer specializing in high-performance SSD solutions. Innogrit's low power consumption and high efficiency effectively improve data transfer speeds. For the NAND flash memory, it utilizes carefully selected 3D TLC chips, all of which are top-tier in the industry. Their stacking technology delivers higher storage density and read/write stability.
Let me show you the detailed configuration of the computer I just assembled. The CPU is an AMD Ryzen 5 9500F with 6 cores and 12 threads and a maximum turbo frequency of 5.0GHz. The memory is KingBank DDR5 6000MHz 16GB*2 memory, and the hard drive is a KingBank KP270 SoarBlade SSD solid-state drive.
After installation, CrystalDiskInfo software was used for testing, and the KingBank SoarBlade KP270 SSD showed a capacity of 1024.2GB, without any reduction in storage space. The KingSpec KP270 SSD supports the latest S.M.A.R.T. hard drive protection technology, as well as the VolatileWriteCache function and TRIM command. It has excellent self-monitoring, analysis, early warning and reporting functions, making it more reliable to use and eliminating worries about accidental erasure.
Using ATTO Disk Benchmark software, the KingBank KP270 SSD achieved read speeds of up to 6.90 GB/s and write speeds of up to 6.33 GB/s. ATTO disk benchmark tests showed that the KingBank SoarBlade KP270 SSD maintained high efficiency and stability across file sizes ranging from 512B to 64MB. Notably, the independent cache is particularly effective when continuously writing large files; even when exceeding the cache capacity, the speed drop is kept within a reasonable range, without any precipitous decline.
In actual game testing, the loading time of games such as CrossFire and Peacekeeper Elite was reduced to a few seconds, and the scene transitions were smooth with no lag. During content creation, when processing high-resolution images in Photoshop, importing and rendering efficiency improved by approximately 30%, with no stuttering during any operations. For photographers and designers, transferring large files was a breeze. In daily office work, the system startup and software opening speed are significantly faster, especially when opening multiple browser tabs and virtual machines, the response speed is one step ahead.
Overall, the KingBank SoarBlade KP270 SSD has successfully secured its place in the PCIe 4.0 market with its solid hardware foundation, reliable performance in real-world testing, and affordable price. In the current PCIe 4.0 SSD market, products with comparable performance typically cost over 600 RMB, while the KP270 offers 7400MB/s read speeds and dedicated caching at the same price, making it a true performance champion. For users seeking value for money, it meets their technological needs for the next 3-5 years without incurring brand premiums. Whether you're a gamer, content creator, or a general user, the KingBank SoarBlade KP270 SSD can deliver a significant leap forward in your device's performance and is highly recommended.
