Overview of XPG GAMMIX S50 PCIe 4.0 SSD
ADATA launches a new SSD based on PCIe 4.0 called “XPG GAMMIX S50”, which is designed for gamers. But in fact, anyone who wants to have a computer with high speed can use it. But remember, only when you have a new motherboard with PCIe 4.0, you can take advantage of this speed.
This is the XPG GAMMIX S50 PCIe 4.0 SSD with high speed that utilizes an M.2 2280 form factor. Compared this NVMe SSD with the XPG GAMMIX S5 PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD that launched nine months ago, new XPG GAMMIX S50 PCIe 4.0 SSD has significantly improved performance.
The new speedy XPG GAMMIX S50 PCIe 4.0 uses a heat sink similar to the GAMMIX S11 and S11 Pro. It has only one color: silver. In addition, ADATA offers two XPG GAMMIX S50 PCIe 4.0 SSDs of different capacity: 1 TB and 2TB. Therefore, it can also be used as a single operating system/storage drive for gamers and even professionals.
Here are some main features of the new speedy XPG GAMMIX S50 PCIe 4.0 SSD:
1. Pursuit of efficiency:
The S50 features a DRAM cache buffer, and a sustained read/write speed of up to 5000 / 4400MB per second and random read/write speeds of up to 750K / 750K IOPS.
2. Higher capacity, efficiency, and reliability of 3D NAND flash:
With 3D NAND flash, the S50’s capacity is up to 2TB, which is more efficient and more reliable than 2D SSD. It also has high TBW and excellent durability to satisfy the needs of a variety of applications thanks to the support of data protection technology.
3. Good cooling capacity:
The key to achieving rated speed and performance is cooling, that’s why you see thicker heat sinks on XPG GAMMIX S50. This aluminum heat sink is very important because the PCIe 4.0 SSD is very hot. According to ADATA, with this passive cooler, the operating temperature drops by about 10 degrees Celsius. And the passive cooler makes it run at speeds up to 5GB / sec.
4. Data integrity and security:
The S50 detects and repairs a wider range of data errors to get a longer SSD lifespan and more accurate data transfer by LDPC (Low-Density Parity-Check) error correcting code technology. At the same time, the S50 ensures data security, integrity and a long SDD lifecycle with E2E (End-to-End) Data Protection and RAID Engine.
5. 5-Year warranty:
Each component on the S50 has been carefully screened, tested and certified. More importantly, it offers a 5-year warranty.
Comparison Between the Series Products of PCIe NVMe SSD’s Transfer Speed
There are five generations of PCIe, which has been launched. Here is a chart of the comparison between the Series Products of PCIe NVMe SSD’s transfer speed. You can find the transfer speed of PCIe NVMe SSD improves very fast.
Final Words
Currently, ADATA does not disclose any information about XPG GAMMIX S50 PCIe 4.0 SSD’s official price. Despite this, it is expected to compete with Corsair (MP600) and Aorus (NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD). In a word, it will become a very competitive product in the market.
