Adata XPG SX8200 Consumer M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3x4 NVMe SSD
240, 480 and 960GB, 3,200MB/s and 1,700MB/s RW, and 310,000/280,000 IO/s random 4K R/W
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on March 29, 2018 at 2:18 pmAdata Technology Co., Ltd. launched the XPG SX8200, a consumer SSD.
It arrives in a compact M.2 2280 form factor and uses the PCIe3x4 interface to deliver up to 3,200MB/s read and 1,700MB/s write – which is for gamers, overclockers, and PC DIY enthusiasts in pursuit of performance. It employs the 2nd generation 64-layer 3D NAND flash for improved reliability and ships in capacities of 240, 480, and 960GB.
PCIe Gen3x4 – Breakthrough barrier of speed
Leveraging PCIe Gen3x4 interface and the NVMe 1.3 protocol, the SX8200 provides improvement in R/W performance. It implements a 32bit DRAM data bus, intelligent SLC caching, and a DRAM cache buffer, accelerating sequential and 4K random R/W speeds. It reaches speeds of up to 3,200MB/s for reads and 1,700MB/s for writes and 310,000/280,000 IO/s random 4K R/Ws for faster boot, shorter game loads, and system response time.
Multiple data protection technologies for reliability
Utilizing 2nd generation 64-layer 3D NAND Flash, SX8200 is more reliable, faster performing, and longer lasting. It also supports RAID Engine and Data Shaping for greater reliability and stability. Similarly, it has a two million hour MTBF rating. It supports LDPC (low density parity check) error correcting code and wear leveling, among other fidelity-enhancing features.
Options for gamers and professionals
The high speeds and tolerances of the SX8200 make it a choice for speed-seeking gamers, overclockers, and professionals, such as graphics/render artists and compositors. Customers can choose between the 240, 480, and 960GB versions of the SX8200. Additionally, the retail package includes a black heat spreader with the XPG logo that users can opt to DIY install on the SX8200 quickly. Like all XPG SSDs, it is backed by a 5-year warranty.
