VectoTech V-MAX 16TB SSD review: Game-changing SATA capacity

Here is a 172-word summary of the key points from the news article: The VectoTech V-MAX is a SATA SSD that offers an unprecedented capacity of up to 16TB per drive. This allows users to add massive storage to their systems without the performance limitations of traditional HDDs. The V-MAX uses a Phison controller and Kioxia TLC NAND, with generous DRAM cache. It is warrantied for 3 years and has high TBW ratings. The V-MAX delivers significantly faster performance than HDDs, with speeds around 550MB/s, though not as fast as NVMe SSDs. Benchmarks show it outperforms other SATA SSDs like the Seagate IronWolf and Samsung 870 QVO. The key advantage of the V-MAX is its massive capacity in a single SATA drive, which can allow building up to 128TB of fast storage in a system. However, this comes at a very high cost, with the 16TB model priced at $1,799. For users needing both high capacity and speed, the V-MAX could be worth considering, but the price may be prohibitive for many.
