ZADAK, a leading provider of PC enthusiast components, unveils the SPARK PCIe Gen3x4 M.2 RGB SSD. As the company's first PCIe M.2 SSD, the SPARK PCIe M.2 captivates high-end PC users through its excellent compatibility with the latest Intel and AMD platforms and top-rate sequential read and write speeds of 3,200 / 3,000 MB/s, respectively. In addition, the SPARK PCIe M.2 SSD was engineered with a stunning aluminium heatsink and features eye-catching customizable RGB lighting.

The M.2 slot of the SPARK SSD is highly compatible, a perfect fit for those looking to upgrade their PC. It also delivers an impressively fast read speeds of up to 3,200 MB/s and write speeds of up to 3,000 MB/s. ZADAK's SPARK PCIe M.2 is available in 512 GB, 1 TB, and 2 TB capacities. The SPARK PCIe M.2 RGB SSD is backed by a 5-year warranty.



Cool Looking Aluminium Heatsink
The SPARK PCIe M.2's heat spreader showcases ZADAK's exceptional craftsmanship; it is the result of a rigorous production process of diamond cutting, sand blasting and aluminium extrusion. Because of this, the SPARK PCIe M.2 achieves exceptional quality and design that follows ZADAK's original design, resulting in an insurmountable heat dissipation of up to 35%. In addition, the ARGB lighting illuminates the SPARK SSD, creating a brilliant glow over the motherboard and can be synced with ASUS, MSI, GIGABYTE, and ASRock software controls.

Built-in S.M.A.R.T
Helping extend its lifespan, the SPARK SSD contains built-in Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Report Technology (S.M.A.R.T). S.M.A.R.T provides users various reports on the status of their drive, allowing them to anticipate any inefficiencies or imminent failures that could lead to data loss. This technology is a type of global Wear-Leveling that notifies users on the storage device's operation so the user can make preemptive adjustments for optimal performance, and thus, prolonging the longevity of the SSD.

ECC Data Protection
The SPARK SSD is equipped with Error-Correcting Code memory (ECC) for stable data protection. Users will be worry-free knowing the integrity of up to 72bit/1kb of data will be protected by the single-bit error immune memory system. Now detecting and correcting mistakes that occur in data memory will be accomplished without the need of additional computing sources.

The SPARK PCIe Gen 3x4 M.2 RGB SSDs will be available in late July 2020, MSRP of $119-389 USD for 512 GB to 2 TB. For more information, please visit this page.

Where's the "Billy Mays approved" sticker? Oh, there, I got it:


BTW - anyone see that "stunning" heatsink? All I could find is a huge, solid chunk of alloy.
