The controller is said to be more efficient and higher performing due to firmware updates as well as an improved data path. Random IOPS also get a boost at 420K for both reads and writes (versus 310K/280K). Speeds increased all around with sequential reads reaching 3500 MB/s and writes up to 3000 MB/s (compared to 3200/1700 for the Gammix S11 and the previous generation controller). It also uses SLC caching which brings performance up and over native TLC write performance. The EN version of the controller includes eight flash channels and four chip enable lines and with the new controller supports DDR4 DRAM as a cache buffer.
Below the DIY heatsink, the ICs are mounted to a black PCB giving it overall a nice sleek appearance. It does cover up some of the ICs though and gives a cleaner look. ADATA includes a thin metal heatsink with double-sided thermal tape to stick to the device and help with heat mitigation, though it’s awfully thin and without fins, so at a glance, I can’t say it looks terribly efficient. The module is double sided and uses four Micron 64L 3D TLC ICs along with two DRAM modules (one on each side) for a total of 1GB (952 GB formatted) and matches it with the new SMI SM2262EN controller. A 2 TB model option may be made available in the future.
#SAMSUNG NVME DRIVER ADATA 8200 PRO PRO#
The XPG SX8200 Pro series of drives range from 256 GB all the way up to a 1 TB, all in the M.2 2280 form factor. We put the drive through its paces and see how it stacked up against the rest! Specifications and Features
#SAMSUNG NVME DRIVER ADATA 8200 PRO PC#
ADATA says the SX8200 Pro is designed for “discerning gamers, PC enthusiasts, overclockers, and video content producers – a broad swath of users. The SX8200 Pro is updated with the new, faster, Silicon Motion controller allowing for speeds up to 3500 MB/s reads and writes up to 3000 MB/s, SLC caching and DRAM cache buffer, and LDPC ECC technology all backed by a 5-Year warranty. Today we are looking at another drive towards the high-end of the performance spectrum in the ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro. Regular readers may remember we have reviewed both the SX8200 (non-pro) as well as the Gammix S11 both offering similar performance, but different pricing. Over the past few months, we have had a chance to review several M.2 PCIe x4 drives from the budget level up to high-performance drives.
