Cheap Chinese SSD VS Samsung 860 EVO - Oyunkey E Pro 240GB SATA SSD Review & Speed Test

In this video I'm testing a cheap Chinese SSD, the Oyunkey E Pro 240GB SATA SSD and comparing its read and write speeds with two Samsung 860 EVO 500GB SATA SSD drives and Sandisk X300 128GB M.2 SATA SSD.

This is basically a cheap SSD VS Samsung 860 EVO speed test comparison and also a speed test between them and a Sandisk X300.

I'm using Crystal Disk Mark 6 for the synthetic testing. As I'm not a huge fan of synthetic testing and believe that a SSDs true performance is only really measurable with real world data speed tests. I'm using a folder full of various different sized files and seeing how long this folder takes to read and write between the various SSD drives.

The bottom line to this test is that the Oyunkey is a very capable SSD at a cheap price. In fact, the Oyunkey is on average faster than one of the Samsung 860 EVO SSD drives.

Love the review. Something I don't quite understand In the real-world tests. When you copied the files from the Oyunkey to the Sandisk, or to Samsung 1 and 2 for that matter, You are not testing read speed of the Oyunkey. You are testing the write speed of the destination SSD. Write speed seems to be the throttle here. The only time you would get a read speed is when the write speed of the destination SSD is faster than the read speed of the Oyunkey. Given the fluctuations, who knows when that is? After all that, my conclusion is the Oyunkey turns in some surprising write speeds, and write speeds are usually the issue.

Another excellent, fair, real world test and review Dave. I just may get one of these Oyunkey's to use as an external drive. It seems fast enough in read and write to use as a video rendering drive. What do you think?

Samsung warranty is 5 years vs 3 yrs for cheaper one. Data integrity is worth the extra cost to me. I will pay more for the Samsung. The underlying technology of the Samsung is more reliable. Nice review, however.

I have several external HDD's namely WD elements and Seagate Expansion drives. I use it mainly for storing datas such as movies, games, photos from my dslrs. I mostly add up the files with minimal deletion. Storing up to the HDD's storage capacity. I was wondering if switching to cheap SSD and converting them to external would be a good upgrade? In terms of speed I understand it is. I just dont know if the datas will be safe long term even with minimal writes.

Most of my external HDD's are out of warranty and some of them are 5 years+ old.

Very interesting I can't believe it.

I wonder if you know about the difference between 4k and sequential
or Dram, cache, and tiredness of SSD (the slow performance of Oyunkey while copying to san disk can be because of this and caused by Oyunkey, not san disk)
