NVMe SSD designed for audiophiles

[NewOldman]

have anyone tested this one yet ?

[NewOldman]

has anybody test this one yet,

and what is the impression

[NewOldman]

so how will you describe the sound signature

[NewOldman]

After a long and necessary vacation at sea,

So I have now started evaluating this SSD, The SSDs I compare with are

Intel X25 32GB SLC

Samsung EVO860

Intel Pro 7600 Ent NVMe

Micron 50GB M100 SLC Ent

 

CAPS contains the following

Supermicro X11SPM-TPF Intel Xeon 4120 Silver 4x4Gb DDR4 ECC Reg JcatFemto USB

Everything is powered by DIY LPS

What I can say about this SSD is that it sounds very good, clean, detailed, natural, good balance, extremely good channel separation, With a good LPS, this one sounds better than most I've tried

 

all cables are made by pure copper, 

 

Other equipment everything is

Tube stuff, PreAmp, AMP and DAC in higher class over 20000 USD

plus speaker and cables

total over 50000 USD

[NewOldman]

The OS I use are 
Windows 10  LTSC 2019
Windows Server 2019 
Windows Server 2022, 
who are very stripped with Nlite,

[NewOldman]

Now my disk has run about 5-600 hours, and still getting bether and bether,

more detail, bether resolution,

 

highly recommended

"LPS… this should be another major step up… stay tuned." 
A LPS is required for the best sound

you will surprised how much its lift the sound

[NewOldman]

I have been testing this SSD for a couple of months now and it beats everything from CF-card to SSD of all kinds,
The important thing is that the m.2 slot goes directly to the CPU on the motherboard, and that you use an LPS ,.
It simply sounds natural and good !!

it is not cheap but clearly worth the price,
but you avoid the cost of a good SATA cable.

[NewOldman]

I've been run mine for about 1000 hours now, 
and I'm still amazed at how good it sounds

 

the best investment I have done on HDD 

[NewOldman]

agree

I'm still amazed by my SSD,

How it can improve more and more over time :)

[NewOldman]

this ssd is a strong candidate for best buy 2021

This thread and the SSD made it to Tom's Hardware. Nothing "new" on it though. Carry on, just thought to mention. 

 

After reading Tom's page, you can do no more than laugh
A bunch of kids who do not understand anything,
Even Tom has twisted it to say that the seller does not answer questions,
when in fact it was buyers who did not respond,

@darkforcestop all these non sense allegations. I am a member of this forum a while now and I am not the guy who is going to run away for a little dinky SSD of yours. I have way more investment in expensive audio gear that you can think of. 
 

Didn’t I offer you to pay for the product, not once but twice, to which you refused, before I left out of the country ? Didn’t I clearly indicate and messaged you couple of times end of Oct that I will be out of country for a while. Do you want me to post all the message exchange publicly here ? Anyway, FYI, I am still out of country and will be for sometime now. Being out of country doesn’t mean that I cannot log into the forum time to time. 

 

what an attitude ?

[NewOldman]

the biggest improvement is when the Femto Nvme is in  endpoint not Server

OS on Pci-e adapter in slot 2,

Delock Products 89370 Delock PCI Express x4 Card > 1 x internal NVMe M.2 Key M 80 mm - Low Profile Form Factor

And ASUS Hyper-x card  for music in slot 6

 

and dont forget to settings Pci-e settings in Bios as Data under pci-e slot settings

I searched a bit, enterprise HDD firmware has “error recovery control” feature called TLER or CCTL to give up r/w retry early and let RAID controller to handle the error. consumer HDD do not have this feature and array is degraded when retry takes 10 seconds. I guess video recorder firmware is developed from this knowledge?

 

Also found interview article with HGST engineers, they do not develop special firmware for audio industries at all, on circa 2013

that's why you should never use consumer HDD in hardware raid

thanks for THAT pointer!

 

I have not even begun to go trough the many BIOS optios so it probably would have taken a day or two to figure that out!

 

 

it's for the Hyper-x card  not for os

Now that I got everything working I'm wondering why you's put the OS and data NVME's in the slots for CPU2 ?

Do you run OS on CPU 2 and the player program on CPU1 (so the output PCIe card comes in slot 3 or 5 ?

 

 

if you look at the block diagram for the MB you may understand

I have it open in front of me...

slots 1, 2, 6 and 7 are linked to CPU 2

slots 3,4 and 5 to CPU 1 I understand you'd want to stay away from slot 3 and 4 which seems to be shared through a sortof controller.

 

I'd expect CPU to be assigned to handle most of the OS, and be linked to the OS NVME and the player program assigned to CPU 2 and the data files linked to that. 

OS/player program  and Music files on CPU2 

network and USB card on CPU 1
