Pink King Snake King Snake DDR5 6400 MT/s 32GB (16GB x2) Anna ANA Edition Special Edition Overclocking Memory Unboxing

This time, Anna ANA Edition uses ANACOMDA's highest specification series of "Black/White King Snake DDR5 Overclocking Memory" heatsinks, while keeping the same specification and material of the heatsinks, the printing style has been changed to a cuter pattern!

The Special Edition is only available in 6000 MT/s CL 38 and 6400 MT/s CL 36 on the official Shrimp Skin, so it seems that the product positioning of this model will be dominated by mainstream specifications, and the higher-end DDR5 7200 MT/s frequency will not be available in this version of the heatsink model at the moment.

However, Snake still doesn't provide the QVL serial number for compatibility verification on the official website or on the package. The author still expects ANACOMDA to strengthen this part in the future, although the main specifications sold at present are already relatively stable, if there is a QVL compatibility verification with the motherboard, it will give consumers more confidence to buy.

The ANA Edition Pink King Snake overclocking memory is packaged in a blister pack.

△ ANACOMDA Anaconda King Snake DDR5 6400 MT/s 32GB (16GB x2) Anna ANA Edition Special Edition Memory.

The 6400 MT/s 2x 16GB specification is in this unboxing.

 

ANACOMDA Anaconda King Snake DDR5 6400 MT/s 32GB (16GB x2) Anna ANA Edition Special Edition Memory uses the King Snake series of lightless, low-height heatsinks. Because the height of the heatsinks is only 37 mm, they are suitable for use with a dual-tower air-cooled or downdraft heatsink installation, and with the low-height advantage, they will be less likely to With the advantage of low height, it is less likely to have high compatibility problems!

Pink flowers are used to embellish Anna herself on the white background color of the radiator, and the same pattern is used on both the front and back of the radiator for a mirror symmetrical presentation.

The specification module in this unboxing has a 6400 MT/s CL 36-48-48-96 1.35V overclocking profile written in the SPD HUB, and the overclocking profile is available for both Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO.

AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D and ASRock X870E Taichi OCF Platform DDR5 Memory Performance Testing

Using the AMD Ryzen 9000 platform with DDR5 memory support, see how this memory performs on the AMD platform using the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor and ASRock X870E Taichi OCF To test the performance and overclocking capacity of the DDR5 memory module on hand, the motherboard BIOS was updated to version 1.03 for testing.

This memory test "does not enable the motherboard's memory score optimization settings" or manual overclocking adjustments, so as to present the performance of directly applying the memory profile, so that there will be no motherboard factors interfering with the results of the component, and the motherboard's Gear Mode or UCLK Mode are maintained automatically for the motherboard to adjust, and of course, will not be turned off by the processor kernel or the use of the Of course, there is no need to turn off the processor cores or use the Thin Overclocking Edition system to get the best results. Instead, the test is conducted purely on a normal Win11 system with the full default processor, which is more in line with the direct usage scenario.

AIDA64 Cache & Memory Benchmark It is mainly used to test the performance of processor caches and RAM. The read/write/copy bandwidth performance score represents the rate of transfer between CPU and memory, which means the efficiency of data throughput (the higher the score, the better), and the time delay score of accessing data indicates the responsiveness of the memory system.

With EXPO Profile 1 turned on, the read speed is 73.3 GB/s, the write speed is 79.6 GB/s, the copy speed is 69.1 GB/s, and the latency is 84.2 ns.

King Snake DDR5 Memory Cooling Test｜Temperature and Stability Measurement

And then through OCCT MEMORY CONFIGURATION To test the pressure stability of the memory, the memory load of the software was manually set to 99%, the memory test setting was set to the memory EXPO Profile parameter DDR5-6400 MT/s CL 36-48-48-96 1.35V, and the test scenario was a closed air-conditioned room with an indoor temperature of 23 °C. The maximum temperature of the SPD Hub during the test hour was 56 °C on the bare test platform without an additional fan installed, and the maximum temperature was 56 °C on the bare test platform without an additional fan installed. The OCCT and HWiNFO64 recorded the temperature of the SPD Hub during the test hour, with a maximum temperature of 56 °C on the bare test bed without an additional fan.

It is important to note that the test platform is placed on the Streacom BC1 Open Benchtable V2 bare test platform, and the memory does not have an additional fan to assist in cooling, but most users will install an exhaust fan on top of the chassis to assist in the cooling process, the author's test environment and the test software are more severe than the daily use of the test software, so this side of the temperature test is for reference only. The author's test environment and test software are more stringent than daily use, so the temperature test here is only for reference.

ANACONDA I4S 1TB PCIe Gen4 Anna ANA Edition NVMe SSD Unboxing

ANACOMDA Anaconda I4S 1TB PCIe Gen4 x4 Anna ANA Edition Special Edition NVMe M.2 SSD is also one of the protagonists in this unboxing. From the naming and specifications, it seems to be the same as the original i4S Fire Snake series, but after looking through the data a little bit, I found that this is not quite the same.

ANA Edition This series of NVMe M.2 SSDs uses the PCIe Gen4 x4 bandwidth specification and appears to be available only in 1TB storage capacity, with sequential read and write speeds of up to 7,000 and 6,000 MB/s, and support for Host Memory Buffer (HMB) and Pseudo Single-Level Cell (pSLC) technologies to deliver performance through an algorithmic approach. Cell (pSLC) technology, which provides performance through an algorithmic approach.

I4S 1TB PCIe Gen4 x4 Anna ANA Edition uses SiliconMotion (SMI) SM2268XT host control program, after-sales warranty is a 5-year limited product warranty and 900 TB TBW (according to the capacity of different versions of different TBW), ANACOMDA Anaconda on this TBW to quite a lot.

△ ANACOMDA Anaconda I4S 1TB PCIe Gen4 x4 Anna ANA Edition Special Edition NVMe M.2 SSD Solid State Drive.

The unboxed 1TB version has a maximum sequential read/write speed of 7000 and 6000 MB/s. The 1TB version has a maximum sequential read/write speed of 6000 MB/s and 7000 MB/s.

 

The I4S 1TB ANA Edition uses the PCI-Express 4.0 x4 transmission bandwidth interface, also known as PCIe Gen4 x4, and its size specification is the common M.2 2280 specification, which is compatible with the motherboard's 2280-length M Key expansion slot, and the Ana-shaped heatsink version is already pre-installed at the factory, while the SSD heatsink above the Anna is wearing a ponytail, which suits her very well!

The SSD itself is directly installed with a thinner aluminum heatsink, which is recommended for use in slots that do not come with a motherboard heatsink, but because this heatsink is thin enough, it is also compatible for use in PS5 or laptop and other devices, so you don't need to worry about compatibility issues. It's a shame that the pattern is printed in an upright position, but the majority of motherboards have a horizontal setup for M.2 expansion. Most motherboards with M.2 expansion slots are set up horizontally.

The 1TB version of the SSD comes with a five-year limited warranty, and is labeled with the original manufacturer's free in-home repair and delivery and physical store replacement service. The total number of TBW (Tera Bytes Written) for the 1TB version is 900 TB, and the daily data write (DWPD_Drive Writes Per Day) is converted to 1024 GB (1 TB). To exceed the nominal TBW value, you would have to write 493.1 GB, or 48.1 % of hard disk capacity, to the SSD every day for five years.

△ Heatsink fit display, from the side view the main control does not touch the heatsink, mainly by the front and back of the two storage particles contact, single-sided particle layout.

△ Installation demonstration with motherboard.

Thin heat sinks with quick release clips on the motherboard are also very compatible.

Please do not remove the black and white sticker on the back of the product, as it will cause damage to the product.

 

After removing the heatsink, you can see that the I4S 1TB PCIe Gen4 x4 Anna ANA Edition utilizes SiliconMotion's (SMI) SM2268XT2 host controller, which is powered by a dual-core ARM Cortex R8 CPU and supports four NAND channels at up to 3,200 MT/s per channel.

Equipped with Huilon's new 8th generation NANDXtend ECC technology, it combines the 4K+ LDPC ECC engine and RAID function to provide better error correction capability, while the cache function is provided by the system DRAM through the 64MB Host Memory Buffer (HMB), and there is no DRAM cache on the body itself. There is no DRAM cache, which is the so-called DRAM less program.

The official website indicates that it supports Pseudo Single-Level Cell (pSLC) caching algorithm and LDPC (Low Density Parity Check Code) error correction mechanism, Wear Leveling, TRIM instruction and other technologies.

The text CF05BA53H345 is printed on the top of the 3D NAND Flash cell, and when viewed through the SSD utils software, you can see that it is a Hynix SK Hynix 238L 3D TLC cell.

△ After the test run, I removed the heat sink and looked at the details to confirm that the middle heat sink did not touch the main control.

△ Direct horizontal height measurement view, TLC particles are indeed a bit higher than the main control.

First of all, through CrystalDiskInfo The software examines the basics of M.2 SSDs, using PCIe 4.0 x4 transfer mode and NVM Express 2.0 standards, with support for S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology), TRIM, and VolatileWriteCache, and the firmware version tested by the author was: Y0618C00.

△The capacity labeled by the storage brand is usually decimalized, but systems such as Win11 use a binary capacity display, so after formatting and converting to a different bit system, and after subtracting the space required for the firmware inside the hard drive, the actual capacity that can be used in the computer is 953 GB.

 

Use with empty disk CrystalDiskMark The software was used to test the read/write performance of the M.2 SSD. The test file size was set to 1GiB in NVMe SSD configuration mode, and the sequential read/write speeds measured in the default profile were 7332 MB/s and 6844 MB/s. The software was also used to test the performance of the M.2 SSD.

The Q8T1 test result in the first column represents a thread with eight queue depths, which means that there are eight 1MB-sized accesses in the worklist waiting to be accessed. This corresponds to a real situation, such as reading or writing eight 1MB files from or to a hard disk at the same time, which is generally less likely to be done in general.

The random read/write performance of the RND4K Q32T16 project is 3994 MB/s and 1254 MB/s.

The RND4K Q32T16 operates with 16 queue depths out of 32 threads, and the file types are random access 4 KB size files written or read into the SSD.

△ CrystalDiskMark Settings: NVMe SSD / Profile: Default, Sequential Read/Write and Random Read/Write test results.

 

For daily use or for gamers, the QD1 to QD4 range is a good reference. If we switch the CrystalDiskMark profile to real-world performance, the first column will be Q1T1. Although the result will be a bit lower than the Q8T1, it will be more in line with the actual performance of the daily use experience.

The reason for this is that most of the daily operating systems use Q1T1, which is a queue-depth mode with one thread, so Q1T1 is more suitable for daily use than Q8T1. The read and write speeds of Q1T1 are 4286 MB/s and 5176 MB/s with the capacity of the test file set to 1GiB.

△ CrystalDiskMark Settings: NVMe SSD / Profile: Real World Mode 1GiB profile test results.

△ 3DMark storage benchmark test.

 

3DMark DirectStorage Feature TestIt can help gamers understand the performance enhancement of PC game loading with Microsoft's DirectStorage technology, a technology introduced by Microsoft for Windows PCs equipped with PCIe SSDs, which reduces the amount of resources consumed when loading game data.

DirectStorage can bring more benefits through BypassIO, which reduces the CPU utilization of the game by minimizing the CPU load when transferring data. When DirectStorage is used in conjunction with GDeflate data compression technology, it can further reduce the game loading time, and GDeflate eventually decompresses game data to VRAM through the GPU, resulting in more transfer bandwidth for better game data transfer efficiency. GDeflate ultimately decompresses game data to VRAM through the GPU, bringing more bandwidth for better game data transfer efficiency.

At the end of the test, three scores are generated. The first is the performance difference between DirectStorage on and off, which is expressed as a percentage. Next is the average bandwidth of game data transfer from SSD to GPU memory (VRAM) with DirectStorage enabled, and finally the average bandwidth of game data transfer from SSD to GPU memory (VRAM) with DirectStorage disabled. The Disabled item score also represents the average bandwidth of standard Windows APIs in transferring game data. The deactivation score also represents the average bandwidth of the standard Windows API for transferring game data.

以 PCMARK 10 To test hard drive storage performance, the Full System Drive Benchmark uses a range of everyday applications and software, including Windows 10, the Adobe family of software, game launchers, Microsoft clerical software, and related apps to test hard drive performance in real-world usage scenarios.

Data Drive Benchmark (Data Drive Benchmark), the main test object for data disks used for storing documents, and can also be used to test NAS, UFD and memory cards and other related types of storage devices, in this test, 339 JPEG files (a total of 2.37 GB) will be copied to the SSD, and then make copies of these JPEG files to complete the entire three-step write-read-write-read test. In this test, 339 JPEG files (totaling 2.37 GB) will be copied to the SSD, and then copies of these JPEG files will be made, and ultimately 2.37 GB of JPEG files will be copied to another hard drive, completing the entire write-read-write-read three-step test.

final use AIDA64 Read Test Suite, Linear Read Test, Read Test Suite mainly uses Linear Read, Random Read, Cache Read, etc. to test the read performance of the hard disk through these three read methods.

△ AIDA64 Read Test Suite reads the performance combination test.

 

AIDA64 Linear Read 與 Linear Write The full disk read/write test reads and writes large files with MAX capacity of the hard disk to let users observe its read/write stability. In the Linear Read test, the hard disk stays stable at an average read of around 5875 MB/s until the end of the test.

In the Linear Write test, after the cache was exhausted at about 30 %, the write speed dropped to about 2000~2700 MB/s, and then continued to drop to about 1000 MB/s at 45 %, and did not rise again until the end, with the overall write speed averaging at 2534 MB/s, which means that unless users are writing large files of 285.9GB or more, they can enjoy the maximum write speed of 5332 MB/s. In other words, unless the user writes a large file of over 285.9 GB at one time, the user can enjoy the maximum high-speed performance of 5332 MB/s for continuous writing.

ANACOMDA I4S 1TB PCIe Gen4 x4 Anna ANA Edition Special Edition NVMe M.2 SSD Solid State DriveTemperature Test

The next part of the test is the cooling performance. The platform is mounted on a bare test stand, so the actual cooling effect will be a bit better than in a closed chassis, and the test scene is a closed air-conditioned room at 23 °C for the actual test, which is just for reference as the ambient temperature in a normal room is difficult to control.

The M.2 SSDs were tested with the native M.2 heatsinks and no additional fans were added to cool the motherboard.

The test software still uses CrystalDiskMark Settings:NVMe SSD / Profile:Default, but manually adjust the number of times to 9; test file size setting to 64 GiB, some foreign media will set their own scripts to stress test, but the author personally think that Taiwanese gamers are more commonly used. CrystalDiskMark The M.2 SSD software is used to test your own M.2 SSDs, so it would be better to continue using the same software to reproduce the test on your own, in the same way as in the previous M.2 SSDs.Pressurize with All-in-One Water Cooling! What kind of cooler do I need for M.2 PCIE Gen5 SSDs?The article is the same, so you can check it out.

Temperature logging is done by using HWinfo64 software to record the maximum temperature of the hard disk, and manually adjusting the polling cycle in the HWinfo64 software to record the temperature of the M.2 SSD itself in a more real-time manner by adjusting the following settings. Why don't we use CrystalDiskInfo software to record the temperature? Because when there are multiple temperature sensors on an M.2 SSD, CrystalDiskInfo only displays the first sensor in order; sometimes the drive manufacturer will adjust the sensor temperature order so that the master chip is not always first, resulting in viewing temperatures from other locations. Furthermore, CrystalDiskInfo is very slow in updating the temperature sensors, and the difference between the displayed temperature and the actual temperature can be as much as 5~10 °C due to the lack of real-time updating of the temperature sensors.

• Disk SMART every 1 cycle
• Embedded Controller every 1 cycle

△ CrystalDiskMark Settings: NVMe SSD / Profile: Default, but manually adjusted the number of tests to 9; the test file size setting was changed to 64 GiB, and the maximum temperature is 89 °C.

 

Conclusion｜ANACONDA Anna ANA Edition DDR5 Memory and PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD Test Review

King Snake DDR5 6400 MT/s 32GB (16GB x2) Anna ANA Edition special edition memory uses its 37 mm low height, non-glossy King Snake DDR5 overclocking series memory heatsinks. Although there is no RGB light bar setup, the low profile and high installation compatibility brings better usability, as visualized with the naked eye. It's a shame that there are no thermal pads on the SPD area, but the maximum temperature in the temperature stress test was only 56°C, so there's no need to worry about overheating.

The overclocking profile of DDR5 6400 MT/s CL 36-48-48-96 1.35V is written in the SPD, and at the same time, Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO are written in the SPD, which allows gamers to overclock to DDR5 6400 MT/s with one click to dramatically increase the performance of the bandwidth, but it's a pity that ANACOMDA has less information in the QVL section. However, it is a pity that ANACOMDA has less information on QVL, so some consumers may not be able to check the QVL before purchasing, which will discourage people from purchasing. The author would suggest Snake to invest more in this part of the budget, because after all, its own specifications are not that much.

DDR5 6400 CL 36 is a common specification nowadays, and Anaconda uses Micron chips to arrange this specification. The whole product strategy shows that this "Ana ANA Edition Special Edition Memory" is positioned on the mainstream hot selling specification, and with the pink and white color cute appearance to make people offend the material...to make people pop up the desire to buy.

 

The I4S 1TB PCIe Gen4 x4 Anna ANA Edition Special Edition NVMe M.2 SSD is a PCIe Gen4 x4 bandwidth SMI SM2268XT paired with a Hynix SK Hynix 238L 3D TLC cell solution that delivers read/write performance of 7,000 and 6,000 MB/s, with overall HMB and pSLC technologies to simulate caching for improved performance. HMB and pSLC technologies are used to simulate caching to enhance performance. Although there is no physical DRAM cache (for DRAM less solution), it has a five-year TBW endurance specification of 900 TB, and it has a higher data write total bit limit, which is its advantage.

Pre-installed thin aluminum alloy heatsink, with a thin body can be compatible with PC, NB, PS5 and other equipment expansion, with excellent installation compatibility can be used with, but it is a pity that the height of the main control chip is not close to the heatsink, the heatsink is mainly responsible for the dissipation of the TLC particles only, but in the temperature and pressure test is not due to high temperatures and lead to overheating degradation problems, or perhaps in the performance of this main control of the upper limit of temperature wall is relatively high. Perhaps the upper limit of the temperature wall of this controller is higher in terms of performance.

All in all, after watching ANACOMDA Anaconda's new secondary mascot: Anna ANA, the author's favorite picture is the one with the tied ponytail!
