XPGSX6000 Pro 512GB PCIe 3D NAND PCIe Gen3x4 M.2 2280 NVMe 1.3 R/W up to 2100/1500MB/s SSD (ASX6000PNP-512GT-C)

I stuck it in and it was pretty much ready to go, very simple. Good value. Just needed to format it.

Works just as it should, no surprises or complaints. Another well made Adata product, always appreciate their reliable mainstream tech. Good value performance for the price, especially on sale. Been couple months, still pleased, too soon to comment on longevity or long term operation.

Value for money

The write speed is a lot slower than the 3500 MB/S specs state. I used a WAVLINK Thunderbolt 3 external drive enclosure connected to a 2019 iMac to obtain 1100 MB/S write and 2200 MB/S read. I used AJA and Blackmagic disk speed tests and both are close to each other. I also tested this 1TB SSD with a Sabrent Thunderbolt 3 external drive enclosure but only got 900 MB/s write and 1400 MB/s read. This is a good 1TB SSD for your PC motherboard as it only cost me $75 on Amazon. Note you'll need a heavy duty heat sink as this SSD gets very hot. The small heat sink it comes with isn't adequate. The Wavlink Thunderbolt 3 enclosure comes with it's own medium duty heat sink. I got better results from this ADATA SSD than I did from the SX8200 Pro which cost more money.

I really do not like the fact that M.2 which has capacity of 3.6 TB is qualified as 4 Tb. Other than that it works perfectly fine.

This drive seems to rely quite heavily on caching. But does the job for an SFF build.

SSD: Adata XPG SX6000 Pro NVMe PCIe M.2 1TB - 174% [ test done at Userbenchmarks] that may seem fast but the average is 209. The Samsung EV0 850 NVMe is much faster. I'm not really complaining for around 110.00 bucks I got my monies worth. It has been reliable and it's about 65 percent faster than my SATA SSD Patriot Burst. 1330 read vs 440.The software for the Adata is much better than the Patriot Burst [ Microsoft says its not certified and warns you not open it] The Mushkin Source SATA SSD [Is faster than the Patriot Burst] It doesn't include ANY software at all.Obviously, you can get third party software, but you shouldn't have to blah.The Adata is a nice drive for the average consumer. I would buy again. I can't tell you how reliable it is since Ive only had it for a couple months but will update if it fails.My system Ryzen 7 2700 Gigabyte B450 Pro Wifi 16 gigabyte Ballistic 3000 MHz ram Gigabyte 1660 TI XPG SX 6000 Pro Patriot Burst 480 gig SSD Mushkin Source 500 gig SSD Themaltake SMART series power supply 600 wattUpdate Drive failed 10-5-2019Consulted YaY pc and they think its a shaky SSD controller on the XPGThe pc blue screened then on restart kicked into my back up Patriot Burst SSDI went into BIOS the NVME drive wasnt recognized. I tried to set the XPG as primary but that wasnt even an option.For kicks I tried RAID and then it was booting from the XPG. So then I did Crystal benchmarks and everything was good Sequential Read (Q= 32,T= 1) : 1519.264 MB/s Sequential Write (Q= 32,T= 1) : 1061.932 MB/s Random Read 4KiB (Q= 8,T= 8) : 1173.800 MB/s [ 286572.3 IOPS] Random Write 4KiB (Q= 8,T= 8) : 747.775 MB/s [ 182562.3 IOPS] Random Read 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 292.360 MB/s [ 71377.0 IOPS] Random Write 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 257.652 MB/s [ 62903.3 IOPS] Random Read 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) : 49.854 MB/s [ 12171.4 IOPS] Random Write 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) : 122.360 MB/s [ 29873.0 IOPS] Test : 1024 MiB [C: 24.6% (234.1/952.8 GiB)] (x5) [Interval=5 sec] Date : 2019/10/06 0:28:04 OS : Windows 10 Professional [10.0 Build 18362] (x64) So then I restarted went into the Bios and again tried to set it as the primary drive still nothing. So again put in RAID and its working , BUT for how long?

This was super easy to install and I was up and running with a new drive in minutes. So far no issues at all (knock on wood)XPG is a highly respected brand for quality at a decent price. I was very happy to find this on sale. Great for gaming as well!
