About Hardware Samsung KMRX10014M

OPPO F1s eMMC 5.1 (Samsung KMRX10014M) is an internal storage chip made by Samsung that is used in the OPPO F1s smartphone. Relying on eMMC 5.1 technology, this chip offers increased data transfer speeds compared to the previous generation (eMMC 5.0), providing a smoother user experience, especially when it comes to opening apps, saving files, and running the Android operating system responsively.

Although not comparable to UFS (Universal Flash Storage) in terms of performance, eMMC 5.1 remains an economical storage solution for mid-range devices like the OPPO F1s. The technology is reliable enough to handle everyday activities such as opening social media, recording videos, taking photos, and storing documents and apps.

The test was conducted on an OPPO F1s device with MediaTek MT6750 specifications, 4GB of RAM, and 32GB of internal storage, running on the Android 6 operating system. The internal storage on the OPPO F1s uses the Samsung KMRX10014M chip, which is an early generation eMMC 5.1 with relatively high performance for the standards of its release time.

Interestingly, despite the device being over 7 years old, testing using the Cross Platform Disk Test (Mobile) showed read speeds of 286.5 MB/s and write speeds of 78.7 MB/s. These figures are impressive for an eMMC chip that has gone through a long usage cycle, and indicate that the Samsung KMRX10014M has good NAND Flash endurance.

Overall, the eMMC 5.1 on the OPPO F1s offers an ideal combination of power efficiency, moderately high performance, and low manufacturing costs. This makes it a very suitable solution for devices with standard to mid-range requirements, especially when first released. While eMMC performance may degrade with age, these benchmark results show that the chip is still capable of performing quite well even after many years.

Device test (testbed):

Device: OPPO F1s
CPU: MediaTek MT6750
RAM: 4GB
Storage: 32GB
OS: Android 6

* This test was conducted after the device was approximately 7 years old, which is likely to have degraded the performance of eMMC.

About Hardware WD Scorpio Blue WD5000BEVT

WD Scorpio Blue WD5000BEVT 500GB is a 2.5-inch hard disk designed for laptops and portable storage devices. With a 3Gbps SATA-II interface and a rotation speed of 5400 RPM, this drive offers a balance between power efficiency and sufficient performance for everyday computing tasks.

Equipped with 8MB of cache, the drive is capable of handling stable data access for needs such as multimedia storage, work documents, and general file management. While not as fast as an SSD, the WD5000BEVT is still an economical choice and has a sizable storage capacity in a 2.5-inch form factor.

In performance testing, the hard drive was tested using an Orico USB 3.0 enclosure connected to a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 system, powered by an Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor and 12GB DDR4 dual channel RAM. Benchmark results showed read and write speeds of 66.33 MB/s and 66.58 MB/s in the CrystalDiskMark application. Meanwhile, through ATTO Disk Benchmark with a 64MB block size, the drive recorded read speeds of 109.09 MB/s and write speeds of 109.56 MB/s. This performance is quite good for the older generation 5400 RPM HDD category, although it is clearly still far behind compared to modern solid-state drive (SSD) speeds that can touch hundreds or even thousands of megabytes per second.

⚠️ Important Disclaimer

Based on analysis from CrystalDiskInfo and Hard Disk Sentinel, there are indications that this hard drive is most likely not an original unit or has been refurbished. This is inferred from the discrepancy between:

• The physical label of the drive (which indicates the WD5000BEVT model),
• and the firmware data/internal information read by the application, which does not fully match the characteristics of the original WD Scorpio Blue.

Due to such discrepancies, we consider this unit to NOT be a true WD WD5000BEVT, and users are advised to exercise caution when purchasing loose (used, without official packaging) HDDs, especially from secondary markets or unauthorized distributors.

Despite its decent performance and sizable 500GB capacity, it's important to always verify the authenticity of a storage product, especially if it's used to store important data. This hard drive still works well, but it cannot be used as an accurate representation of the original WD Scorpio Blue product.

Device test (testbed):

Via: Orico Enclosure USB 3.0
Device: Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6
CPU: i5 1135G7
USB: USB 3.1 Gen 1
RAM: 12GB DDR4 3200MHz Dual Channel (8+4)
OS: Windows 11 22H2
