Adata xpg sx6000 pro, new ssd m.2 nvme with 3d tlc memories

The memory brand ADATA has released what is its latest SSD model, the XPG SX6000 Pro intended to offer extreme performance for the mid-range. Let's get to know him!

ADATA SX6000 PRO, new SSD for the mid-range

This new SSD, belonging to its XPG gaming sub-brand or "Xtreme Performance Gear", makes use of the PCIe 3.0 x4 interface and the NVMe standard, with the M.2 format. Translated, it is a type of SSD with considerably higher read and write rates compared to traditional SATA SSDs.

Specifically, ADATA promises sequential read rates of 2, 100MB / s and sequential write rates of 1, 500MB / s, and up to 250, 000 / 240, 000 input and output operations per second (IOPS) in read and write, respectively.

The SX6000 Pro, unlike other M.2 SSDs, only has components on one side of the PCB, while the other is empty. The controller of the SSD is a Realtek of unknown model, and the NAND memory chips make use of the TLC 3D technology, which is located between the mid-range and the medium-high, behind in durability and speed of the most expensive (and unpopular) MLC. To accelerate the speed of these memories, an SLC cache is used, as in many other options on the market.

An aluminum heatsink is missing, many boards come standard as of today but still an important addition.

The available versions of the new SSD will be 256GB, 512GB and 1TB. They will have a guaranteed durability of 150, 300 and 600 TBW, respectively. We usually compare the new discs that are released with the market leading Samsung EVOs, and find that exactly identical durability is guaranteed at a price that is likely to be lower.

The price of these new SSDs, which are covered by a 5-year warranty period, has not been announced. Hopefully they add more competition to the market, and ADATA is precisely a brand that usually brings very decent units at reduced prices.
