A-Data XPG SX8200 Pro M.2 ASX8200PNP-1TT-C 1.02 TB

Compact M.2 SSD with versatile orientation supporting PCI-E 3.0 interface and NVMe protocol. Positioned by the manufacturer as a kind of "golden mean" for users who want to maximize the PCI-E 3.0 interface without upgrading the system and purchasing more modern components supporting PCI-E 4.0/5.0. A-Data XPG SX8200 Pro is designed in a miniature M.2 format, making it easy to fit even in the smallest gaming consoles, laptops, and ultrabooks.

It operates under the Silicon Motion SM2262EN controller in combination with 3D QLC NAND memory. Despite the use of QLC chips, the drive demonstrates commendable performance due to optimized firmware and SLC caching technology. Read speeds reach up to 3500 MB/s, and write speeds up to 3000 MB/s, which falls within the capabilities of Gen3 SSD. High IOPS values (up to 390k for reading and 380k for writing) allow the XPG SX8200 Pro to be used for tasks involving the processing of a large number of small files, such as in code compilation scenarios, database operations, or rendering. The declared MTBF is around 2 million hours and 640 TB write endurance, indicating good endurance under moderate daily loads (DWPD 0.4). These figures make the drive suitable not only for enthusiasts but also for long-term use in a professional environment.
