On April 16, Master Lu released the ranking of consumer PC hardware for the Q1 quarter of 2021, analyzing the market conditions of CPU processors, graphics cards, memory, hard drives and other products.


In terms of hard disks, the new version of Master Lu has improved the algorithm to adapt to SSD hard disks, especially high-performance hard disks in the PCIe era. There will be no point overflow at random.

Hard disk performance list: PCIe 4.0 butcher list

In terms of performance, PCIe 4.0 hard drives increased in Q1, and the read and write speeds of hard drives reached a terrifying value.In native support for Gen4 technology, Western Digital WD_Black SN850 won the first place in the hard disk performance list with its arrogant attitude of sequential read speed of 7000MB/s and sequential write speed of 5300MB/s.

The top 3 of the entire hard disk performance list are all hard disks that support PCIe 4.0.

However, it is worth mentioning that the fourth-ranked Samsung PM981 is not much lower in running points than the third-ranked GALAXY HOF Pro, and the gap between the two sides is less than 10,000 points.

In addition, Samsung also occupies half of the hard disk performance list, and the storage manufacturer is indeed well-deserved.

Ranking of hard drives as a proportion: top manufacturers share over 40% of the market

Compared to Samsung’s performance surpassing its rivals, the market performance is going to be a little bit down.Western Digital, Samsung, and Kingston, which accounted for the top 3 hard drive brands, stood firm.

Compared with mid-2020, Western Digital, Kingston, etc. have seen different levels of market share increase, and Samsung is the only brand among the top 3 manufacturers with a reduced market share.

The top 3 manufacturers accounted for 44.2% of the market share, and the living space of other manufacturers was further compressed.

The overall proportion of solid-state drives and mechanical hard drives has not changed much in the 2020 year-end report. Solid-state drives still account for more than 75% of the share, and the proportion of mechanical hard drives has been compressed to 24.15% again. With the price reduction of SATA solid-state drives, mechanical hard drives are eliminated The progress is accelerating again, but depending on the excellent storage capacity of mechanical hard drives, mechanical hard drives still have a place in the future in the short term.
