The year of the arrival of affordable NVMe SSDs will be 2018, but that doesn’t mean that manufacturers will stop working hard to continue to offer the best to users with a lot of money. Proof of this is the new ADATA XPG GAMMIX S11, a very high-performance model that comes with heatsink included.
ADATA XPG GAMMIX S11
ADATA XPG GAMMIX S11 is a new SSD storage drive, NVMe-compatible, based on an M.2 2280 format, and designed to deliver the highest possible speed under the PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface. The manufacturer has assembled 64-layer 3D NAND Flash memory, along with an intelligent SLC cache and DRAM memory for the data bus and buffer cache. This allows you to achieve a sequential read and write speed of 3200 MB/s and 1700 MB/s respectively, with a 4K performance of 310,000/280,000 IOPS.
We continue to see the features of the ADATA XPG GAMMIX S11, with the use of RAID Engine technologies, LDPC error correction and Data Shaping, to improve reliability and stability. ADATA has installed a heat sink to prevent overheating of the memory chips and the controller, which will provide a more stable and consistent level of performance. ADATA XPG GAMMIX S11 is available in 240GB, 480GB and 960GB versions with a 5-year warranty.
The prices have not been announced, so we’ll have to wait a little longer to see if it’s worth it, on paper, it looks great.
