The XPG Gammix S10 is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched in 2018. It is available in capacities ranging from 128 GB to 1 TB. This page reports specifications for the 128 GB variant. With the rest of the system, the XPG Gammix S10 interfaces using a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the SM2260 from Silicon Motion. XPG has installed 32-layer TLC NAND flash on the Gammix S10, the flash chips are made by Micron. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are soaked up more quickly. The cache is sized at 8 GB. The Gammix S10 is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 660 MB/s and 450 MB/s write; random IOPS reach up to 35K for reads and 95K for writes.
At its launch, the SSD was priced at 66 USD. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. XPG guarantees an endurance rating of 80 TBW, a typical value for consumer SSDs.
