"While not the fastest or most feature packed PCIe SSD to come through the 'Labs, the ADATA XPG SX8200 delivers a lot of bang for your buck. This compact, M.2 form factor SSD is powered by Silicon Motion's SM2262 controller and is available with up to 1TB of Micron's 64-layer 3D TLC NAND flash. Combine this with an ultra-fast PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe 1.3 interface and you have a drive capable of delivering nearly six times the performance of your average SATA 6Gb/s SSD. In our sequential read and write tests, the 240GB version of the SX8200 was able to read at speeds as high as 3,179 MB/s and write at speeds in excess of 1,179 MB/s. The drive also did relatively well in our random write tests, producing more than 176,000 IOPS at low queue depths.”
