ADATA XPG Gammix S70 Blade 512GB, M.2 2280 / M-Key / PCIe 4.0 x4, Kühlkörper

Adata Gammix S70 und S70 Blade zählen zu den schnellsten NVMe-SSDs für Verbraucher. Über PCI 4.0 werden 7,4 GB/s beim Lesen erreicht, ein ausdauernder SLC-Modus hält hohe Schreibraten auch bei großen Datenmengen. Der Controller stammt vom Newcomer Innogrit. Im Duell mit dem Phison E18 werfen jedoch die Komponenten Fragen auf.

Despite its strong performance in a variety of tests, the ADATA XPG Gammix S70 Blade is also among the more affordable, enthusiast-class PCIe Gen 4x4 SSDs. The 2TB drive we tested can currently be found for only $249, which works out to about $0.12 - 0.13 per gigabyte. There are a handful of lower-priced Gen 4 SSDs available, but not that offer the kind of top-end performance of the ADATA XPG Gammix S70 Blade. The only read downside to the drive is that it can run somewhat warm relative to some other top-end M.2 SSDs, so it's probably best suited to an enthusiast desktop system or PS5 where there is good airflow, versus an ultrabook where airflow is often reserved for the CPU and GPU. Considering the all around strong performance and highly competitive pricing, however, we can easily recommend the ADATA XPG Gammix S70 Blade. If you're building a new rig or upgrading your SSD, the ADATA XPG Gammix S70 Blade should be on your short list.

The XPG GAMMIX S70 Blade is at home just as much in your laptop as it might be in any desktop, all the while providing 7GB/s performance that is expected from PCIe 4.0 It has a 5-year warranty, great pricing and speed!

The XPG Gammix Gaming S70 will make you take a second look, and that’s before you even see the performance numbers. It’s a sleek and sexy drive that definitely makes a statement with a 15 mm tall finned aluminum heat sink. From a thermal performance standpoint, we really appreciate that they addressed the underside of the drive and designed a heat sink that encapsulates the entire module. Our thermal testing proved that it’s not just there for looks but the heat sink actually prevented thermal throttling and kept the drive running cooler than most we’ve seen.

ADATA has been consistently expanding its line-up of XPG, or Xtreme Performance Gaming branded hardware, targeting PC enthusiasts and gamers.

XPG's SSDs (Solid State Drives), however, are arguably the most extensive array of products in the company's portfolio. ADATA has a myriad of XPG SSDs available, at a wide variety of price points and performance levels. The two drives we’ll be showing you here today, the new ADATA XPG GAMMIX S70 and XPG GAMMIX S50 Lite, are both bleeding-edge PCI Express 4.0 NVMe drives, packing some of Micron’s latest TLC NAND.
