Up to 3 times faster than SATA: Read/write speeds up to 1800/1200 MB/s
NVMe 1.3 support
3D NAND Flash: Higher capacity, durability, and power efficiency
M.2 2280 Form Factor: Supports desktops and laptops with the latest Intel and AMD platforms
LDPC ECC for improved data integrity
The SX6000 Lite uses LDPC (Low-Density Parity-Check) error correction code technology to detect and correct a wider range of data errors for more reliable data transfers and longer product lifespan.
Ideal for desktops and laptops
The SX6000 Lite is suitable for desktop and laptop computers.
XPG Heatsink
The SX6000 Lite comes with a sleek black XPG heatsink with pre-applied thermal compound inside for DIY installation. With or without the heatsink, the choice is yours. Either way, the SX6000 Lite looks great inside your build.
SSD ToolBox
The SSD ToolBox automatically ensures that you have the latest firmware for optimal performance and allows monitoring of the drive's health and remaining life through Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (SMART) features. It also enables you to monitor the current operating temperature, capacity, and total space used.

I bought it on the day I wrote the review and in the future, I will keep updating it.
Until now, I was using 3 HDDs in RAID 0, so the upgrade to solid state is mind-blowing.
Despite its low price, the disk is amazing.
Some of you may be worried that it doesn't have DRAM, but it has a small SLC memory for caching, which greatly helps in data sorting among the NAND chips.
The speeds currently listed are accurate.
Choose NVMe over SATA because the disk has the capability to handle higher speeds than what SATA offers.
It's worth the €20 I paid for it and more (I have the 128GB version).
Update: To prove what I mentioned earlier about the interface bottleneck, I'm including the image from the CrystalDiskMark test I ran... while the randoms don't drop any jaws, the sequential speeds are very satisfying, and if it were SATA, they would be stuck at around 600MB/s instead of 1800.
Update: When I reached 80% of its capacity, I started noticing concerning behavior... while transferring a 20GB file from a mechanical disk, Windows reported that the SSD was working at 100% of its time with speeds of 20-30MB/s and a response time of 2-5 seconds. The mechanical disk was only working at 10%. I'm starting to believe that not having an onboard DRAM cache is killing its performance... I would pay an extra €10 for one with DRAM.
Update: One year later, it gave up... in the last few months, I noticed its lifespan percentage dropping rapidly (2-3% per week)... at first, I experienced BSODs at random times and had to leave the computer off for an hour or so, otherwise, the motherboard wouldn't detect it at all, and suddenly, one day, it just never got detected again... luckily, I was only using it as a library for Steam.
Very good for Windows and Office, but not for games. At first, I had a 14.6s startup time for Win10, now that I have loaded it a bit, it is at 17.0s. Not Samsung, but okay for 30 euros, we shouldn't ask for much. It also comes with a heatsink and temperatures for me are max 45c.
I don't have much to say, it takes 2 seconds to load the windows, and it took a clean 3 minutes to install the windows. Overall, it's almost free for the job with such a price.
(In the year 2025) Adata XPG SX6000 Lite 128GB is what it promises, OK! in everything... and at its price, compared to others. 65% full and the same in speed... "Yeah!" VFM
