Two identical drives, same controller revision. The difference is quite substantial, wondering what's holding the other one up? :confused:

Ryzen 3 3300X on MSI B550 Tomahawk. No PCIe expansion cards other than the video, only keyboard and mouse on USB.

Adata and their shenanigans I would avoid buying their drives until they stop doing this.

read is fine on my bx500 is fine but write speed seems significanly lower, idk why, maybe 'cos i have windows on it

This is my OS SSD with the system RAM cache deactivated. ADATA SU800, 1TB, on a Intel ICH10R @ 3GB/s.

oh.. the good old sata II, i had it for like almost a decade with my i7 3770 system and ever since getting ssd, felt bad about the half raw speed

According to your data you are running one from the PCH and one from the CPU.

That is correct, but would it make such a big difference to sequential speeds? Both drives are running in PCIe 3.0 x4 mode.

Even thought they are running at the same BUS speed one is directly connected to the CPU and one to the chipset. Simply put one is 1 step to complete a task and one is 2 steps to complete the same task. Even with that the 3300x naturally supports PCIe 4.0 and that first M2 slot on your MB is wired as such. The other M2 slot on your board and indeed everything on your PCH is PCI 3.0. That is what separates B550 from X570.

Forgive me for quoting myself, but it seems the mystery has been solved. The two drives do use the same controller revision, but different NAND. The faster one uses Intel 96L, and the other one Micron 96L.
According to this thread there are at least nine different controller/NAND combinations on the ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro :kookoo:

Welcome to the wonderful world of ADATA drives. Shenanigans like that is exactly why I and many others don't toch their products even with a 10 feet pole

Samsung 870 EVO 1TB 2.5" SATA - Benchmarking way wayy above its theoretical limits??

How is this possible? it is throwing off my benchmark scores, such as in PassMark, as my disk posts in the 98th percentile of the world scores.

You have properly Samsung rapid mode enabled. That uses system memory as cashe for the SSD. But it also means you are not reading SSD speed but system memory speed. Try go in to Samsung magician and see if rapid mode is enabled and if it is. Disable it and then run benchmark again. Then you shut see your SSD real speed.

Thank you for this, that makes sense!

I wasn't trying to fool anyone, im just trying to get to the bottom of why/how they were reading so fast.

So you didn't enable rapid mode in the samsung software?

or it was on by default and you just didn't catch it?

I was like wtf, those numbers and another poster's are faster than bifurcated 4x setups. And then ya remember that stupid samsung software.

So finally after vacation is over and my new build is up and running. It´s time to mess around with it. I can see different versions of crystal disk mark is used, so comparison is a bit difficult. I have used the latest version as of right now.

Here it is the mini-ITX system with AMD B550 chipset with an 5600X

First drive is SAMSUNG 980 PRO 1 TB
Second drive is an older Crucial MX300 2 TB sata SSD
Third drive is a WD RED 4 TB 5400 RPM HDD from 2018 borrow tempoary from my old X58 system

Main system Asus Dark HERO X570 chipset ATX system with 5950X

First drive is a Samsung 980 PRO 1 TB NVMe SSD running directly to CPU
second drive is Samsung 980 PRO 2 TB running throw chipset, hence why i think the max read speed is a bit lower.
third drive is a WD GOLD Enterprice class 14 TB 7200 RPM HDD 45 % filled up (i have seen it peak at 260 MB/s totally empty)

phill · Jul 21, 2021

Awesome performance there @Tomgang :cool:

How are you finding the performance compared the X58? I bet it's like night and day??

Meh X58 was way faster... Just kidding. It's like comparing a Kia Picanto to a Lamborghini.

Everything loads faster, just browse the internet loads much faster. We'll I do have a 600 Mbit fiber line. So I guess X58 dit not take full advantage of it.

Gaming is off cause more smooth as well. But the current gpu's i have is not giving the full picture for gaming.

Take a look in my project build log. I have just uploaded a video of the RGB. A low quality video throw. As my phone sucks. It looks much better in real life.

I'm there!!

I need to go take a look in that section, been a little longer than I'd like to be honest...

Ah, Kia Picanto....... Something I'd love to run over in a tank... What a waste of petrol... Anyways, personal tastes aside, I'm real glad your happy with it @Tomgang !! As you mention about the GPUs, what are you planning to get when you can?

I'm planning to get Asus RTX 3080 TI TUF or if I can afford it. The strix version.

Alternatively evga rtx 3080 ti FTW 3.

For the little system. Maybe rtx 3050/3050ti, if that comes for a desktop version with a low profile cooler. Else I will stick to. My current gtx 1650.
