How to check what chip the solid state drive is in the computer?
It seems that there is no software to see the solid-state main control chip. Take a look at your solid-state model. Generally, you can find the main control chip information on the Internet.
What is the storage principle of SSD?
Solid state drives (SSD) mainly use FLASH chips as storage media, and their storage principles are as follows:
Flash-based solid-state drives are the main category of solid-state drives. Their internal structure is very simple. The main body of the solid-state drive is actually a PCB board. The most basic accessory on this PCB board is the control chip and the cache chip (some low-end hard Cache chips) and flash memory chips for storing data.
The main control chip is the brain of the solid-state hard drive. One of its functions is to rationally allocate the data load on each flash memory chip, and the other is to undertake the entire data transfer, connecting the flash memory chip and the external SATA interface.
The capabilities of different main controllers are very different. There will be very big differences in data processing capabilities, algorithms, and read and write control of flash memory chips, which will directly lead to the performance gap of solid-state hard disk products as much as dozens of times.
Advantages of solid state drives (SSD):
1. Fast reading and writing speed:
Using flash memory as a storage medium, the reading speed is faster than that of a mechanical hard disk. The solid state drive does not use a magnetic head, and the seek time is almost zero. The speed of continuous writing is amazing, and the speed of solid-state drives is not only reflected in continuous reading and writing. Random read and write speed is the essence of solid-state drives, which is most directly reflected in most of the daily operations.
2. Shock resistance and drop resistance:
Traditional hard disks are all disk-type, and data is stored in disk sectors. The solid state drive is made of flash memory particles (ie, storage media such as mp3, U disk, etc.).
Therefore, there are no mechanical parts inside the SSD, so that it will not affect the normal use even when moving at high speeds or even with tilting, and it can minimize the possibility of data loss in the event of collisions and shocks. Compared with traditional hard drives, solid state drives have an absolute advantage.
What does SSD mean?
SSD solid state disk (solidstatedisk), that is, solid state electronic storage array hard disk.
SSD is composed of control unit and storage unit (FLASH chip, DRAM chip). The specification and definition of the interface, the function and the usage method of the solid-state hard disk are exactly the same as that of the ordinary hard disk, and the product shape and size are also completely consistent with the ordinary hard disk.

The solid state drive is made of flash memory particles (that is, storage media such as mp3, U disk, etc.), so there are no mechanical parts inside the SSD solid state drive, so that it will not affect the normal operation even if it is moved at high speed or even with tilting. use.
3. Low power consumption:
The power consumption of solid-state drives is lower than that of traditional hard drives.
4. No noise:
The solid state drive has no mechanical motor and fan, and the noise value is 0 decibels during operation. Flash-based solid-state drives have lower energy consumption and heat generation under working conditions. There are no mechanical moving parts inside, there will be no mechanical failure, and no fear of collision, impact, or vibration. Because the solid-state hard disk uses flash memory chips without mechanical parts, it has the characteristics of low heat generation and fast heat dissipation.
