About Hardware SK hynix H9TQ27ADFTMC

SK hynix H9TQ27ADFTMC is an eMMC (embedded MultiMediaCard) based storage chip designed for mobile devices and embedded systems. With NAND Flash technology, it offers an efficient and power-efficient internal storage solution for devices with light to medium computing needs. It has become a common choice in entry-level smartphones, tablets, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, thanks to its combination of sufficient capacity, high endurance, and long-term stable performance.

As an internal chip, the H9TQ27ADFTMC comes in a small yet reliable package, combining the controller and flash memory in a single unit for easy integration in consumer devices. One of the main advantages of eMMC storage like this is low power consumption and better data access latency compared to traditional SD card-based storage.

The test was conducted on an OPPO A5s device, a smartphone with a MediaTek Helio P35 (MT6765) processor, 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of internal storage. The operating system used was Android 8 with the ColorOS 5.2 interface. The test was conducted after the device had been in use for more than four years, so performance results may have decreased due to NAND Flash degradation over time.

In testing using the Cross Platform Disk Test (Mobile), the read speed of 114.31 MB/s and write speed of 13.07 MB/s were obtained. These results show that despite its age, the eMMC's read performance is still quite good for activities such as opening applications, loading the system, and streaming light content.

As a first-in-class internal storage solution, the SK hynix H9TQ27ADFTMC is suitable for devices that require fixed (non-removable) internal storage capacity with high efficiency, low cost, and sufficient endurance for daily use. Although its write speed is not as fast as more modern UFS technology, eMMC remains a popular choice due to its stability and ease of integration in many low- to mid-end devices.

Device: OPPO A5s
CPU: MediaTek MT6765 Helio P35
RAM: 3GB
Storage: 32GB
OS: Android 8, ColorOS 5.2

* The test was conducted after the device was approximately 4 years old, perhaps the performance has decreased

About Hardware Western Digital PC SN740 512GB

The Western Digital PC SN740 is a high-performance NVMe SSD specifically designed to meet the needs of modern computing, especially in ultrabooks, business laptops and other compact devices. It features a PCIe Gen4 x4 interface and NVMe 1.4 protocol, which enables extremely fast read and write speeds, making it an ideal storage solution for intensive multitasking, big data processing, and a responsive and efficient computing experience.

The SN740 comes in various capacities ranging from 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, to 2TB, providing flexibility for users with different storage needs. Built with Western Digital 3D NAND technology, the SSD offers not only high performance, but also excellent power efficiency and long-term durability. Its availability in two form factors, M.2 2230 and M.2 2280, makes it highly compatible with many of the latest devices, including thin laptops and small industrial systems.

In a real-world test using an Acer Aspire 5 A515-58P laptop equipped with an Intel Core i5-1335U processor, 8GB LPDDR5 RAM and running Windows 11 operating system, the SSD ran on PCIe Gen3 x4 mode due to laptop slot limitations. Despite not running at full PCIe Gen4 speed, the benchmark results still showed excellent performance. Tests with CrystalDiskMark recorded read speeds of up to 3913.58 MB/s and write speeds of 3453.18 MB/s, while AS-SSD Benchmark recorded read speeds of 3795.33 MB/s and write speeds of 1879.37 MB/s. These numbers show that even on a PCIe Gen3 interface, the WD SN740 still offers premium performance that can compete with other high-end SSDs.

In addition to performance, the Western Digital SN740 also features enhanced security and power efficiency, making it a great choice for mobile professionals, software developers, and general users who desire fast and durable storage. With the combination of high data transfer speeds, compact design and Western Digital's brand reputation for reliability, this SSD is one of the best-in-class choices for storage upgrades on modern devices.
