Meet The Maxio 1806A 8 Channel Controller

With the rising cost of NAND, going DRAM-less on your next SSD is a good way to keep things somewhat affordable.  Biwin’s Black Opal X570 is an interesting choice as it has a unique controller from Maxio which has 8 channels.  It sports a single sided design, comes with Biwin Intelligence software for free and it is the fastest SSD without a RAM cache on the planet, for now.  

TweakTown saw sequential reads of over 14GB/s and writes just over 10GB/s, which is more bandwidth than you are likely to need when gaming or watching videos.  There are a couple of more versatile DRAM-less SSDs if you have mixed workloads that TweakTown rate higher overall, but for what you are likely doing with your PC you should definitely put the Black Opal X570 on your short list. 

Capable of up to 14,900 MB/s throughput, Biwin's Black Opal X570 SSD is the first of its kind 8-channel DRAMless SSD. Let's see what it can do.
