SX8200 Pro

I recently upgraded my MacBook with the ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 1TB 3D NAND NVMe Gen3x4 PCIe M.2 SSD, and it feels like I've got a brand new machine. This upgrade deserves a solid 5-star rating for several reasons: Incredible Speed Boost: The most noticeable improvement is the speed. My MacBook boots up significantly faster, and applications launch almost instantaneously. File transfers that used to take minutes now complete in seconds. It's not just an upgrade; it's a total transformation in terms of performance. High Capacity Storage: With 1TB of space, I have more than enough room for all my files, applications, and multimedia. It's a relief not having to worry about running out of space or managing storage as frequently. Reliable and Durable: The 3D NAND technology not only provides excellent performance but also ensures reliability and durability. I feel confident that this SSD will last a long time, maintaining its speed and integrity. Important Note on Compatibility: To make this SSD work with my MacBook, I used the Sintech NGFF M.2 NVMe adapter. This is a crucial piece of information for any MacBook users considering this upgrade. The adapter was easy to install and worked flawlessly, ensuring the SSD was compatible with my MacBook. Value for Money: Considering the performance boost and the new lease of life it has given to my MacBook, the price is absolutely worth it. It’s a cost-effective way to extend the life of an older MacBook, rather than purchasing a new one. In conclusion, the ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro with the Sintech adapter has been an outstanding upgrade for my MacBook. If you're looking to rejuvenate an older MacBook and get performance that rivals current models, I can't recommend this SSD enough. Five stars for breathing new life into my old machine!

This is hands down one of the best upgrades I’ve made for my PC. The 3500/3000MB/s speeds are legit, making my boot times and game loads nearly instantaneous. It features an SMI controller and a DRAM cache, which makes a huge difference in sustained performance compared to cheaper DRAM-less drives. It stays cool under a moderate load, and for the price-to-performance ratio, it’s still the king of PCIe Gen3 storage.

This is the last component to complete a new build. The main driver of the performance I was looking for was to be able to play games on a 1440 monitor smoothly with settings on High. I was prepared to wait a few months for prices on M2 NVME drives to come down. Cyber Monday did it. Pulled the trigger and the next day this appeared on my doorstep. The Motherboard I picked (Asrock Z390 Steel Legend) came with standoffs and screws for 2 of these babies and physical installation went as expected. I agree with other posts I have seen, these screws need to be larger. A magnetic screwdriver is your friend. The drive needs to be initialized in Win10 then formatted, this went smoothly, and quickly, lol. Adata has two different cloning utilities on their website and I tried the Macrium Reflect. The other one requires a registration code from Adata which proved difficult to obtain. Cloning seemed to be successful but the system would not boot from this drive at first. I ended up doing what I should have done from the beginning, doing a fresh install of Win10 from a a USB boot stick with the existing SSD disconnected. This worked fabulously, took about ten minutes. System specs: I7 9700KF running stock speeds for now Asrock Z390 Steel Legend 16G Corsair memory running at 3200, Cas level 16 Adata ZPG 8200 Pro 1 Tb M2 NVME Adata SU750 1 Tb SSD Seagate Baracuda 2 Tb HD ASUS internal DVD writer (yea I know I'm a throwback) Corsair 750 Gold 80 PSU Gigabyte 2070 Super Gaming OC GPU Corsair H100i Pro CPU cooler beQuiet Pure Base 600 case Disk benchmarks: Sequential reads only listed Seagate HD: 224Mbs Adata SSD: 548 Mbs Adata 8200 Pro M2: 3480 Mbs ! It hits all advertised speeds. Cold boot takes 20 seconds. Screen loading on games is about cut in half compared to running off the SSD. Installation of programs/games is no longer a waiting game, it just happens. My last install of a new drive was a Samsung 860 500Gb SSD. Samsung Magician actually worked to clone it but it only works on Samsung drives. I would recommend going straight to a fresh install of Windows for this drive. I did talk to Adata support during the cloning attempt. I already had around 400Gb of games on the SSD prior to the M2 install and didn't want to kill my 1 Tb download allowance from Comcast for the month. Their support person was knowledgeable and friendly and said that the Macrium software usually works. Would I buy this again? Oh yes, it is in the top tier of performance for these drives and it is finally priced right, $105 for the 1 Tb version on Cyber Monday. It affects loading of any program you use, the system is now incredibly snappy. Even just web browsing! If you are still running off of a hard drive a SSD will improve your performance quite noticeably, but now that prices are coming down finally on these M2 NVME drives, just skip the SSD entirely. I wish I could have afforded the M2 drive long ago, lol. One question remains- longevity. These critters are small and don't have a lot of surface area for heat dissipation and it was a concern. The drive will automatically throttle back if heat rises beyond a threshold value. The MB I ended up with comes with its' own heat sinks for M2 drives, which reinstalled easily (although tiny screws again). I've been keeping an eye on temp on this thing and it has not been a problem at all. It is said that heat only becomes an issue under heavy sustained writes lasting over 110 seconds or so. My heaviest use case so far was probably the Windows install. But it showed no real heat increase, the transfer being limited by the USB 3.1 speed. The M2 was just loafing along at 7% or 8% utilization. I highly recommend this drive, it is the finishing touch on this system!

No meu notebook Acer Nitro 5 An517-55-78YY de 17", as velocidade alcançadas foram de R/W 3443/2718MB/s de 1TB nos testes via software CrystalDiskMark ... Velocidades incríveis para mim, pois a iniciação do meu notebook que já era rápida com um MVMe Gen3x2 da Samsung de 500GB eram da ordem de R/W 1602/743MB/s, algo em torno dos 8 segundos e mesmo adcionando novo HD SSD Sata a este notebook, ele pulou apenas para 10 segundos, e ainda a abertura dos programas ficou surreal de rápido com qualquer clique ... o único senão é a temperatura desse e de qualquer MVMe dessa categoria é a temperatura que aumenta muito, e no caso no meu notebook pulou de 30ºC para 57ºC, mesmo com o termal pad que veio na caixa, nos testes no software CrystalDiskInfo9_0_1a. Como indicado por outro comprador a caixa que vem com o produto tem muita coisa escrita em Chines e é diferente daquela caixa do anúncio, porém é o produto com parâmetros informados no anuncio, indicando que é produto novo, mas que pode ser usado apenas internamente na China ... Seu benchmark que fiz mostra que as velocidades estão compatíveis, mesmo em um notebook comprado em 2020. ... Chegou 10 dias antes do combinado ... Recomendo a todos!

Ottimo prodotto montato su una msi b360m bazooka al posto di un ssd kingstore e si nota la differenza in scrittura e lettura e avvio e spegnimento pc sono molto soddisfatto del mio acquisto

Product i received is defective and system is not detecing the same. Also it is heating up abmormally, immediately after starting the system up. I received the product on 13th August and it was out of return window on 15th august. So i am unable to return the same. I will take the product to Adata service centre and try for replacement. will update about the product later. Checked product description again and it should be supplied with a heat sink, which is missing.

Produto com um excelente custo benefício.
