Thank you

So I just got one of those...
Im pretty sure my readings are a bit off.
should I celebrate though? its faster than gen 4 drives

Hi Guys!... need help!

I've bought 2 X adata xpg sx8200 pro and For some reason I can't get them to work with proper numbers!

I've tried de Toolbox to upgrade the firmware but didn't see them! ;-(, I have loaded them onto an external SSD box, as normally I work with Mac, but the SSD tool is only for WINDOWS!

And at the moment I see only 40mb/s... that sucks!

ADATA support couldn't tell me what was the problem... Don't know what to do!

Your external SSD box may only be a SATA enclosure. To get the full benefit of the AData SX 8200 they need to be connected to a PCI-E 3.0 x4 slot. External NVME drives are available but most use a USB C interface and are relegated to one drive and the max speeds are around 1.2 GB/s.

Amazon.ca

Furthermore if the external is a USB drive it will be limited by the bandwidth of the USB interface. These drives are best used as internals, if your PC has a spare PCI-E x16 or x8 slot that can split the lanes. At that point (unless you have more than one PCI-e3.0 x4 M2 slots on your board) you would need to use something like these.

Those are some seriously high read speeds. I have never seen a single drive have such a high Q1T1 score!!!!!!!

seems like best atm beside Samsung of course.

I had a smart cache software on that was causing this.

SO how does this compares with PCIE 4.0 nVME drives?

PCI-Express 4.0 NVMe SSD Performance on Ryzen 3000 & X570

AMD's new Ryzens are the first desktop processors to support PCI-Express 4.0, which doubles transfer rates over PCIe 3.0. We test real-life performance gains using the 2 TB Gigabyte Aorus Gen4 M.2 NVMe SSD, which reaches over 5 GB/s in sequential speeds.

Thank you, but I've meant something like those kind of benchmarks, with actual PCIE 4.0 drives:

Not sure what you are asking. The tested drive is the Gigabyte PCIe 4 SSD

You test the drive with itself on 3.0 and 4.0. I meant testing this drive with other PCIE 4.0 drives also. I'm curious if is still the fastest one, or the PCIE 4.0 drives are leaving this "older" ones into dust.

Oh ok, aren't these drives all based on the same Phison controller? If so, then no significant differences

Aren't all current Gen 4 drives based on the same Phison controller? If yes, then I doubt there will be any significant differences

PlotinusRedux · Jan 1, 2020

A number of us are seeing significant slowdowns with SN2262EN based drives when running off the x570 chipset compared to the CPU, that other drives on the same system don't have, like a 500 MB/s drop in Q=8 sequential read, 350 MB/s at Q=1 sequential read, and even a 12% drop at Q=1 random 4k writes. See https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/earq5a . No response from AMD, SMI, or ADATA so far.

This one or WD SN750 1TB? it's $5 less

I bought one of these and yeah it's faster than my crappy old Samsung 860 Evo SATA SSD by a lot but recently I've seen this thing slowing down with regards to read speeds being way lower than write speeds which I think is rather weird as this NVMe SSD got very close to read/write speeds advertised 3478/2989MBps sequential in CDB 6.0.2 but now it's dropping of on read speeds quite drastically

it's in the primary NVMe slot and running at PCIe gen 3 x4

anybody got any ideas as to why this is happening
