Need some advice - Hikvision E3000 NVMe's

[Transformer09]

Hi all,

Anyone have some reviews on the Hikvision E3000 512GB / 1TB NVMe's?

Cant seem to find proper reviews but want to know if anyone here have them and how do they perform compared to SSD's like Mushkin / Samsung etc.

Thanks
Johann

I've recently bought one and I was skeptical at first but it is decent so far. Good read and write speeds, constant copy speeds and temps is good as well if you have decent case airflow. It is my main games drive and it is good no complains.

Soooo I have one.....its great no issues.... doesnt have cloning software which is a bummer, but expected when you save money...

Also dont be bluffed by those speeds of the expensive drives.. your device will on transfer at the highest speed the other components can handle...

Ie.. Gen 3 Motherboard / USB ports / HDD / SSD

First off. I'm just gonna say I don't have one of the NVMe ones, but we did buy 3 HikVision SATA SSDs at work, and all 3 of them failed after a few months, in the same way.
Can read from them. Can't write to them.

Take it as you will.

It was a while ago. Maybe they sorted heir shit out.

I had the E3000 1TB for 2 years, no issues what so ever.

Aww. I am going to miss seeing that in your sig always brought a smile to my face, like an old friend.

(Although wasn't it an E2000?)

The local disti recently dropped them due to failure rates, just saying :/

Personally I would rather go Adata if you want to get away with something a tad cheaper but what still works.
Else just stick with the tried and tested Samsungs.

Yeah you are right it was a E2000, I'm a dumb ass.

I was also trying to get info on these since the price is tempting. Saw someone in the mybroadband forum said they are rebranded generics with sk hynix chips and phison controller but they didn't provide a source and I couldn't verify. Just in the short time that I researched there was enough negative feedback on hik SSDs to put me off.

If you take the plunge I'd say look at it as a limited lifespan drive, maybe only use it for non-sensitive data storage and ditch it once the warranty expires.

Ive been rocking the 1TB E2000 since 2019, very fast drive with no issues yet, that being said I don't abuse the SSD by writing the whole internet to it.

 

[darkus_f]

I've used one for years and it hasn't given me any issues, in fact it has actually outlasted a few name brands.

Funny enough, adata is the brand that has given me the most problems... But it could be down to just bad luck I guess.

I have the E2000 1TB also since 2019 and my drive is on 99%; haven't abused it that much, had windows on it and a couple of games, and still works fine.

So I literally just had this happen to me last night. Been having files go randomly corrupt over the last month or two, thought it was power outages but I am always careful to properly shut down pc and avoid load shedding. Then got boot looped on BSOD last night spontaneously, recovery drive options did nothing, tried to fresh install couldn't write to drive. I have given up after many different pieces of software and think the drive must just have properly failed now. Not sure how old it is but in my experience quality SSD's last a long while, these are decent for the price but if your PC and your files are too important to lose then maybe avoid these I think I am going to in the future.

I might add that my drive is NVME but they must be saving costs somewhere to be able to undercut these other manufacturers like this.

I have the E3000 1TB, one year old now. a couple of months in, I had a massive data corruption, windows didn't boot. couldn't recover data. Format and reinstall and everything was fine. Then last night, I did a clean shutdown (Always on a UPS inverter), and after a restart again all the data corrupted. I'm guessing a format and re-install should work, but I don't trust that drive anymore. And to add insult to injury, I JUST bought another one, still in the packaging...
