Drive not as fast as reviewed, but good value.
2 of 2 found this helpful It's supposed to be an 970 Evo killer. It comes close. It is about 25 percent cheaper. After trimming the drive in the downloaded Adata SSD toolbox, write rates increased from 400 to ~1900. Read rates are in the 2400 ish range. I have a Pci 3.0 X 4 M2 slot on my motherboard, ASRock X370 Fatal1ty Professional Gaming. SSD works and did not need to be manually switched to 3.0 from the 4.0 the drive is capable of.
SSD is doublesided. It comes with a metal plate (I guess it's a tiny heat sink?) and attached adhesive/thermal padding that is to be placed on the front of the drive. The rear of the drive rests or slightly hovers over the motherboard. It isn't a problem. I haven't had thermal throttling issues yet, and it sits next to a 5700 XT.
Documentation is nonexistent. Thankfully, there are guides on the net for installing the plate and installing the Adata Toolbox. I had to manually start disk manager from the command line to format the drive. Once I did, windows 10 pro 64 bit figured out the rest. As mentioned, I used a "trim" command from the toolbox. Once I did, write rates skyrocketed.
I plan on using the drive as a games repository, as I boot from an older Intel SSD which still runs great. So far, it runs a touch faster than that Intel, which was already fast.
In short, I recommend the drive at around the 140 I paid for it. Don't expect 3500/3000 read write speeds, but really, it's fast enough. If you want what I understand is much better software and RMA---I haven't had to use Adata support, but I hear it's poor---spend the extra 50 bucks and get the Samsung 970 Evo Plus. But I'm quite happy with the Adata XPG Sx8200 Pro 1 TB Nvme SSD.
