Zadak Spark RGB 1 TB

W1zzard · Mar 12, 2021

The Zadak Spark RGB M.2 SSD comes with a gorgeous RGB implementation that neatly synchronizes with all the big motherboard brands. In the motherboard software, the SSD will show up as an additional, individually controllable RGB element, no additional cable is required.

first i thought it's for car, now sparks have rgb effect

It's a bit sad that lots of motherboard implement bigger and bigger m2 slot metal cover that prevents the installation of these custom/cooled ssd.

A tad pricey for a Gen 3 drive IMHO ....

p.A.s.S.....

Darksword · Mar 14, 2021

Way too expensive.

RGB stands for Ridiculously Grossly Bloated prices...

And also write endurance is low for Phison E12 drive.

Prima.Vera · Mar 15, 2021

This is way overpriced even for a PCI-E 4.0 drive. Solid pass.

Would make a great name for an electric car.

I remember when Zadak came out as the modding/ arm of Apacer, doing strange but unique modular + custom loop cooling cases. But now it seems like they're going back to RAM/SSD, just like Apacer. Not sure it was worth building an entire sub-brand, if Zadak ends up being more of a series under Apacer, like AORUS for Gigabyte or Acer Predator. You can tell from the Zadak website that they're trying not to show their ties with Apacer though. Very confusing.

@W1zzard if I may ask: during the temperature write test, how many GB of files are used? Or is software used? If the S.M.A.R.T. reports only one sensor, it reports the temperature of NAND Flash, right?

The tested area is relatively small, as that generates most heat

I think it differs between controllers.
