ADATA To Launch Marvell Equipped SX9000 M.2 NVMe SSD

Raevenlord · May 24, 2017

ADATA is set to officially unveil its new SX9000 line-up of high-performance M.2 SSDs on Computex 2017, but the company has already taken to social media to tease and sort of pre-announce some of the products they will be showcasing. The teaser photo shows the 1TB version of the XPG SX9000 drive in an M.2 2280 form-factor featuring a red PCB. The company says the drive's name "sounds like that car from RoboCop", though if they're referencing the 6000 SUX, well... I hope the similarities aren't as great as they claim to be.

These new SSDs come with a Marvell 88S1093 controller (the company's first NVMe-geared solution), probably paired with 3D TLC NAND for higher capacities and lower cost. This means the company is eschewing the Silicon Motion controllers previously used on their SX7000 and SX8000 SSDs. ADATA certainly wouldn't be putting their stock behind a new controller if they didn't think it was worth it cost or performance-wise, so let's wait and see what comes of this pairing.

It's a Marvell controller, maybe it won't "SUX" but it certainly won't be setting any performance records.

It probably sucks.

Marvell controllers actually have a very good SSD track record btw...

Yeah. It's just the SATA controllers they make are complete junk

Wasn't Crucial mostly using Marvell back then when seemingly everybody else was using Sandforce? And Crucial/Marvell was known for being more reliable if I remember correctly.

if those so called lower costs mean I can get a 1TB for $200-300, I'd be impressed.

RejZoR · May 24, 2017

Yes. The Crucial M4 that I still run in my laptop is powered by Marvell.

Marvell/Micron MLC is actually a pretty powerful budget combo, the problem is that Samsung's offerings are way too cheap for it to be competitive right now.
