The PE6110 is offered in 3 capacities, 960GB, 1920GB, and 3840GB. Here I have the 1920GB version. On the PCB front, we can see clearly the controller, printed with the SK Hynix logo. The NAND flash chips are soldered both on the back and on the front under the product label. On the back side, there&#8217;s also the single RAM chip, 2GB LPDDR4 3733. Under the product label, there&#8217;s also a good number of tantalum capacitors which will offer excellent power loss protection.<\/p><p>As the SSD is in 22110 form factor, most motherboards including mine are incompatible as 2280 is the most widely supported and popular m.2 SSD form factor. As a result, I also bought an m.2 to PCIe socket adapter that supports 22110. I also put on an aluminum heatsink on the front to help it dissipate heat. However, the capacitors for power loss protection are taller than both the controller and NAND chips, and are obstructing the proper installation of the heatsink, so it&#8217;s making poor contact with the heat-generating components.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ef0b56 elementor-arrows-position-inside elementor-pagination-position-outside elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-carousel\" data-id=\"0ef0b56\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;slides_to_show&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;slides_to_scroll&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:300,&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;both&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel-wrapper swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Image Carousel\" dir=\"ltr\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel swiper-wrapper\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"1 of 3\"><a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"0ef0b56\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"PE6110_front\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6ODUxLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvbGl0aG95aW5yb2dlci50cGxpbmtkbnMuY29tXC9teXdlYnNpdGVcL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjNcLzA1XC9JTUdfMDMzOS5qcGciLCJzbGlkZXNob3ciOiIwZWYwYjU2In0%3D\" href=\"https:\/\/lithoyinroger.tplinkdns.com\/mywebsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_0339.jpg\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/lithoyinroger.tplinkdns.com\/mywebsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_0339.jpg\" alt=\"Front: Controller and NAND flash chips under the label\" \/><figcaption class=\"elementor-image-carousel-caption\">Front: Controller and NAND flash chips under the label<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/a><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"2 of 3\"><a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"0ef0b56\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"PE6110_Back\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6ODUyLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvbGl0aG95aW5yb2dlci50cGxpbmtkbnMuY29tXC9teXdlYnNpdGVcL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjNcLzA1XC9JTUdfMDM0MS5qcGciLCJzbGlkZXNob3ciOiIwZWYwYjU2In0%3D\" href=\"https:\/\/lithoyinroger.tplinkdns.com\/mywebsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_0341.jpg\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/lithoyinroger.tplinkdns.com\/mywebsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_0341.jpg\" alt=\"Back: RAM chip and more NAND flash chips\" \/><figcaption class=\"elementor-image-carousel-caption\">Back: RAM chip and more NAND flash chips<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/a><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"3 of 3\"><a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"0ef0b56\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"PE6110_adapter\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6ODUzLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvbGl0aG95aW5yb2dlci50cGxpbmtkbnMuY29tXC9teXdlYnNpdGVcL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjNcLzA1XC9JTUdfMDM0Mi5qcGciLCJzbGlkZXNob3ciOiIwZWYwYjU2In0%3D\" href=\"https:\/\/lithoyinroger.tplinkdns.com\/mywebsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_0342.jpg\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/lithoyinroger.tplinkdns.com\/mywebsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_0342.jpg\" alt=\"Heatsink and PCIe adapter\" \/><figcaption class=\"elementor-image-carousel-caption\">Heatsink and PCIe adapter<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/a><\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-prev\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"eicon-chevron-left\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-next\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"eicon-chevron-right\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-pagination\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3559683 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3559683\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">First Boot -

After performing some benchmarks, I checked its SMART data. Sure enough, the drive was new and healthy. The temperature is higher than my other drives, but still acceptable. It idles at 10 degrees Celsius higher than my other NVMe SSD. With a power consumption of up to 7.0W during write operation, it shouldn&#8217;t be as big of a problem as for example Samsung&#8217;s PM983 which draws up to 8.7W during write. Hopefully, the janky heatsink won&#8217;t backfire on me in the future.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-600cc9c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"600cc9c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Benchmarks: Crystal Disk Mark<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ff8e9de elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-gallery\" data-id=\"ff8e9de\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-849 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"481\" height=\"351\" src=\"https:\/\/lithoyinroger.tplinkdns.com\/mywebsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-29-015459.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-861\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lithoyinroger.tplinkdns.com\/mywebsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-29-015459.png 481w, https:\/\/lithoyinroger.tplinkdns.com\/mywebsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-29-015459-300x219.png 300w\" sizes=\"100vw\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-861'>\n\t\t\t\tSK Hynix PE6110\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"483\" height=\"353\" src=\"https:\/\/lithoyinroger.tplinkdns.com\/mywebsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-28-153438.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-859\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lithoyinroger.tplinkdns.com\/mywebsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-28-153438.png 483w, https:\/\/lithoyinroger.tplinkdns.com\/mywebsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-28-153438-300x219.png 300w\" sizes=\"100vw\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-859'>\n\t\t\t\tGeneric PCIe 3.0 SSD\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"481\" height=\"352\" src=\"https:\/\/lithoyinroger.tplinkdns.com\/mywebsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-28-153759.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-860\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lithoyinroger.tplinkdns.com\/mywebsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-28-153759.png 481w, https:\/\/lithoyinroger.tplinkdns.com\/mywebsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-28-153759-300x220.png 300w\" sizes=\"100vw\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-860'>\n\t\t\t\tMicron M600 (SATA 3.0)\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-53e4402 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"53e4402\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The official advertised sequential read\/write speed is 3200\/1900 MB\/s, and random read\/write at 185k\/74k IOPS, as displayed on their official website: <a href=\"https:\/\/product.skhynix.com\/products\/ssd\/essd.go\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Enterprise SSD | SK hynix<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The benchmark revealed that SK Hynix&#8217;s claim on their SSD performance is accurate, with actual sequential read\/write speed of 3400\/1900 MB\/s, it compares well with mainstream PCIe 3.0 SSD. Though the write speed might seem to be lower than consumer SSDs, it should not be seen as a disadvantage. As enterprise SSDs focus more on reliability, endurance, and long-term performance, they&#8217;re usually not set to use SLC cache, which boosts performance at the expense of depleting drive life faster.<\/p>\n<p>The provided drive writes per day (DWPD) is 1, which means 1.92TB of data can be written to the SSD every day for the whole warranty period. That translate into 2.1 petabytes written (PBW) for 3-year warranty or 3.5 PBW for 5-year warranty. That is more than what most consumer SSDs offer. For instance, the Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB is advertised with 1.2 PBW over a warranty period of 5 years. The endurance of the PE6110 is definitely more than any consumer&#8217;s needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SK Hynix PE6110 1.92TB Recently I bought an m.2 SSD made by SK Hynix, the PE6110 in their enterprise entry-level lineup.
