Being one of China's prominent server makers, Huawei has been offering its own-brand solid-state drives with its datacenter machines for some time. However, for its client PCs the company relied on SSDs made by third parties. Now it looks like the company is changing its attitude towards client drives and is rolling out its own brand eKitStore Xtreme 200, reports IT Home.
The first retail SSD family from Huawei — the eKitStore Xtreme 200 lineup — are rather modest DRAM-less NVMe 2.0-compliant PCIe Gen4 x4 SSDs featuring 512GB – 4TB capacities aimed at notebooks and featuring a thin graphene heat spreader. Performance vice, we are talking about the drives that offer up to 7,400 MB/s sequential read speeds as well as up to 6,700 MB/s sequential write speeds, which is in line with some of the best PCIe Gen4 x4 SSDs. The SSDs also promise a random read speed of up to 1.1 million 4K IOPS and up to a million of 4K IOPS. The drives consume up to 4.8W while writing and up to 20mW in idle.
