I have been using the 256GB for many years now as a boot disk for windows and for applications that I constantly use. It is flawless, very fast, and cool. The only thing I can criticize is that its health deteriorates relatively quickly, meaning in 5 years I have reached 65%, which is completely justified as I have done countless restores from backup and reinstalled windows every 2 months
Adata and dry bread! It is the third one I buy, all different but with the known reliability and speed of Adata at a reasonable price. I have the Adata XPG SX8200 Pro SSD 1TB.
Although it is compatible with my 2017 MSI motherboard, I was unable to make it visible in the BIOS. Windows can see it, but I cannot make it the main disk for Windows. I just transferred my games there...
I bought two of these memories, one for my own laptop and one for my brother's. My brother's read it normally and then stopped reading it after a while. I also bought an external housing for the memory and as soon as I read it for the first time, it stopped reading it again. Now that I have connected it, it simply doesn't exist anywhere. I also did management...
Quite fast and cheaper than the competition. In early 2021, when I bought it, there was the story with ADATA secretly changing the controllers on nvme drives, but beyond the ethical dimension of the matter, in practice I had no issues in everyday use.
All of this changed in 1.5 years, where after several days with random blue screens on Windows (CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED, UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION), in the end, the BIOS stopped recognizing it as a drive, so it doesn't boot or do anything. It will be sent for RMA immediately. It's unacceptable for it to break in such a short period, but fortunately, it's still under warranty.
If it didn't have reliability issues, I would recommend it, but unfortunately, I can't do that anymore.
First of all, let me say that I was impressed by how small these disks are. From the images, you would think they have the size of RAM memory, but they are smaller.
I installed it on a small netbook (Asus E210MA, 11.6", Celeron N4020, 4GB RAM). The measurements showed that in terms of write, it was closer to the specifications (900 MB/s instead of 1,200), but in read, the measurements were far off (1,600 MB/s instead of 3,500 MB/s). I don't know if the low power of the PC plays a role in this difference. I downloaded the diagnostics programs from the company and they showed that everything is fine with the disk.
Of course, the measurements don't matter much if you don't notice them in everyday use. As for the difference compared to a regular SSD, my own experience showed that in this system, it wasn't worth investing in NVMe, unless you have work that requires handling very large files.
However, it is important to understand that my experience is specific to this system. The hardware composition in other PCs may allow for maximum performance.
I conducted tests with file copies over 10 GB and there you can see high speeds. But in office work or in terms of PC startup in Windows 10, I didn't notice anything special compared to a good SSD.
So if someone doesn't frequently work with very large files, I don't think they will notice anything so impressive with NVMe compared to a fast SSD, at least in a weak system.
I bought this specific disk (with a capacity of 2TB) and within 15 days it broke down and I lost all the files I had inside. It was immediately replaced by the store where I bought it and I will come back with a review because it might have just been a coincidence for me, but also my friend who bought a disk from the same company, also with 2TB capacity, had it break down within a month...
UPDATE: Almost 1.5 years later, the disks are working flawlessly for both of us, so we might have encountered a faulty batch.
Very good disk and value for money. Someone who is looking for a 500GB disk and value for money, this is by far the best option. Unfortunately, as you have seen, it is not reliable as it promises a Read Speed of 3500 MB/s but achieves only 3100-3200 MB/s. However, instead of going for a SATA SSD (860 EVO-870 EVO, etc.) that offer much lower speeds for the same price, just get this one. You won't find a better value for money SSD in this price range. Now, about the cooler. I highly recommend installing it, it has never gone above 40°C. Just get it, it is also at a very good price. Also, its write speed is significantly better than promised, so +1 for that
3500 reading did not reach what it promises is close to 3000.... But for the 125 euros I paid, it has not caused any problem for now, of course it is very early..
Reliable disk. I used it for my games. No problem with the installation. It also includes a thin fake cooler with the logo that is not necessary to put it... It is definitely worth its money instead of the more expensive ones. You won't see the slightest difference if you go for something with 170+ euros, guys. I would go for something cheaper and slower, but it wasn't available immediately.
Very good. Of course, I was expecting the downgraded SX8200 Pro, specifically the SM2262G, but I am still very satisfied with the incredibly fast speeds. At the price of 130 euros that I got it, it is definitely worth its money
The review concerns the 1 TB model with firmware 32B3T8EA. I imagine it is one of the new drives with a different controller than it had initially (others have posted about it if you search).
From the benchmark I ran, I can say that it is close to the values provided by the company, especially if you consider that it is the drive with the operating system (so definitely slower than if the test was done as a secondary drive).
I still have it connected to an Asus Hyper M.2 X16 Card v2 PCI express card, because the motherboard I have (Asus Maximus VII Formula) did not support NVMe 2280 when it was released (for a few months). So it may be delayed because of that.
I didn't see any significant difference in boot, but I already had a Sata SSD and my PC has many peripherals that slow it down during boot.
It is one of the best albums, but the good version is with the SM2262EN controller, which is the older batches. For the past few months, the new albums have been inferior. Unnecessary move from adata
Okay, I didn't have any experience but as soon as I installed it, my jaw dropped. If you activate it from the uefi, as the videos on YouTube tell you, it boots into win10pro almost before the screen turns on. Hahaha
You would understand a huge difference in everyday use if you had a SATA SSD!
2. You would notice a (significant) difference in everyday use even compared to another average-performing NVMe SSD. I have it set up for dual boot (Windows 10 + Ubuntu 18). Take it with your eyes closed!
I have had it for over a year now and I truly believe that it is one of the best options for the money it asks for. I haven't used the thermal block that it has on top since I have installed the one from the motherboard, but for someone who doesn't have it, it is a very good solution.
As for the speeds, I have nothing to say, boot times and the like are so fast that you can't even measure them, it's amazing, 100% happy.
It also gives you the license for Acronis to make a safe copy of your data in case you don't want to format, which I found very useful!
I chose the SX8200 Pro 512GB instead of the Gammix S11 Pro (they have identical performance), simply because the heatsink on the Gammix is purely for aesthetic purposes and not for cooling.
As you can see in the image, the heatsink on the Gammix S11 Pro does not sit well on the disk controller and instead of "cooling" it, it traps the heat, thus increasing the temperature.
On the contrary, the heatsink on the SX8200 sits well and covers the controller as it should, helping to eliminate the heat.
10/10 from me for the price, installed on a Tomahawk Max B450 motherboard + Ryzen 3600
It's been great so far. Read 3300 and write 2400 for the 512gb. It was installed in an Asus Prime B450M-K with Ryzen 3200g and 2x8gb Aegis RAM at 3000mhz. The HDD is only for backup now. Quiet and power-saving. We'll see about reliability in the long run, but it has a warranty.
Guys, I have been an owner for a few days now, but I can say that the disk is excellent. It is high-quality and well-made, reaching the speeds promised in the tests (I use it for software, so it is slightly slower - which is logical, it reaches 3,300 and 2,200 mb/s for example). It works perfectly, installation is very easy. I have not tried using its heatsink, as the motherboard (x570 Aorus Pro) has excellent cooling sticks. I consider it the absolute best value for money NVMe SSD at the moment, especially at the price of 169 euros for the 1TB version (when the equivalent Samsung costs an additional 50 euros with similar performance). Buy it without hesitation, highly recommended!
Generally, I would say that in terms of value for money, it is one of the best since it was released. I have it as my main system drive.
Speed: On User benchmark, on average:
Write: 1100MB/s
Read: 2400MB/s
Its software is not the best, especially the Acronis True Image HD disk migration utility, which is mainly used to transfer your operating system from one disk to another. It will make you do 50 writes on XPG and Acronis to activate it, which can be frustrating. (I couldn't do it, or rather, I gave up and used a free alternative.)
Other than that, it would be good to install the ADATA SSD ToolBox to occasionally optimize its performance. I say this because when I left it as it was (3 months after uninstalling the application and without optimization on User Benchmark), its performance was 600MB/s write and 2000MB/s read. As soon as I optimized it, it reached the initial speeds mentioned above.
Regardless.
+ Speed: It's a bit funny that with a conventional SSD, the system on User Benchmark scored around 70% as a desktop, but with this one, it scores about 90%.
+ General Usage: It hasn't shown any problems so far.
+ Heat Sink: I don't use it because the one on my motherboard is better, but it's still something.
- Management Software: It is not capable of covering its advantages though.
There is no competition in the 61€ I bought it (512gb). It's not worth throwing your money away (+50€) for the Samsung 970 evo as you get the same performance with this drive. As for booting and opening applications, it is slightly faster than a good SSD and day and night compared to an HDD. It doesn't exactly reach the read/write speeds it promises, but neither does the 970 evo. The read/write speeds listed on the product pages always refer to the highest capacity. On the page, it says 3500mb/s read and 3000mb/s write, referring to a 1gb capacity drive, mine, 512gb, in my hackintosh system reaches 3100/2300. Nevertheless, it works great, about 10 seconds to boot to the desktop from the moment I press the button. It also opens applications quickly, Final Cut Pro in 4 seconds, Photoshop in 2 seconds, etc. The only downside to all drives of this type is that due to a limitation in the motherboard's operation, it disables 2 SATA ports, meaning if you install an m.2 drive, 2 SATA ports are deactivated because they share lanes, so you should be aware of this if you have multiple SSD drives.
Excellent performance at a very good price for the category. Overall, the disk's performance is between the Samsung 970 Evo and 970 Evo Plus. According to benchmarks, the disk reaches and often exceeds the speed promised by Adata. I have recommended it to a friend and he has also been very satisfied. One of the top choices in the category.
The best budget NVMe M.2 SSD. What can we say now? 390,000 IOPS for 50 euros? And its read/write speeds are relatively close to what it promises. After running the AS SSD benchmark, mine achieved 3,000 read and 1,200 write. Exceptional! Windows boots in seconds. I should mention that I currently have it without the heatsink, in a PC with very good airflow, and it doesn't exceed 45°C at idle (early September). If you have a motherboard with M.2, it's a must-buy at this price, guys. Don't waste your money on SATA SSDs.
