SER6 Pro 7735HS change SSD for a faster one

joselnx

Good morningI have a Beelink SER6 Pro 7735HS Gaming Mini PC HDMI+DP.This equipment comes with a 500GB M.2 NVMe SSD with a speed of 3500 MB/s
I want to replace that 500GB SSD that came from the factory with a SSD 2TB 7000MB/s PCIe M.2.






My question is if there would be any problem if I make this change for a 2TB drive with 7000MB/s (this is twice the original speed)???????

I put a 2TB Samsung 980 PRO in my 7735HS as soon as I got it (the original 500GB card is leading a happy and productive life in an external enclosure).  I’ve had no problems, but I’ve also not stressed it particularly.  How much of a speed boost you’ll actually see will depend on what you’re doing with it, of course.

good morning


I made the same query to bee-link support and they answered me that it only supported the speed of 3500MB/s

From what I see, your 2TB Samsung 980 PRO SSD supports speeds of 7000MB/s, I understand that the maximum write rate would be 3500MB/s based on the limitation indicated by bee-link support

By chance have you tested the speed of your ssd with the CrystalDiskMark, and could you share your result?

I’m afraid I’m running Debian 12, not Windows.  When I bought the SSD it was mainly for capacity and I didn’t have any expectations of speed beyond knowing that I’d put a well-regarded PCIe 4.0 SSD in a PCIe 4.0 slot, so whatever I got was going to be close to the maximum possible.  The 980 PRO only claims 7000MB/s on read, the number they give for write is 5000MB/s.  I’m definitely not getting those, and it’d be nice to know what the reason was - a chipset limitation, drivers, or maybe Bee-Link just quoting real-world numbers - but at the end of the day I know I’m getting about as high performance as I can for the system.

Even if I could give you numbers, they wouldn’t mean anything in Windows terms - I’ve done basic low-level reads of a 4GB file that on successive runs were 2.9GB/s, 7.8GB/s and 17.8GB/s - the first is a raw I/O number, the second reflects reading a partially cached file, the last a fully cached read.  My system also isn’t tuned, and it’s not clear how much tuning I’ll even be able to do given the restrictive BIOS.

Sorry I can’t be more helpful.

It will work as fast as possible:




BUT you have to put some cooler on the SSD!!!
