Bought this ssd from China, price is much cheaper compared with our local pricing but of course need to compromise the warranty part which might be hassles if something happened.

i think you don't need to worry about warranty. i use a lot of their oem and retail drives from various sources for many years already. (5+ years; mostly mlc drives) none of them have issues so far.

Yeah, i also think like that, Samsung drive should be very reliable, that's why i really didn't think much and just buy. biggrin.gif

Great! rclxms.gif .By the way this is first time i'm using nvme ssd, previously all were sata. The temperature really quite hot eventhough i have installed the heatsink but it still reached around 46 degree, can't imagine if without heatsink doh.gif , is it normal for nvme ssd?

yes normally it's hot without heat sink. i use an adapter with passive heat sink for me also haha (about 35c idle, 45c under loads)

it really depends on usage. for general use, the temperature of ssd is still below 70c.

for game files and applications, large capacity sata ssds are still good.

I used it for system drive only, then i shouldn't be worried so such about the temp. Thanks bro for sharing the info thumbup.gif

if you really wanted a nvme ssd, i suggest to get something that have pci-e 3.0 4x, with dram, have 3d-tlc or mlc nand (currently already at 64-layer), 5-year or more warranty, and with capacity at least 480gb range. usually a good nvme ssd can last for a long long time for normal users. for nand-based ssds, it's always good to plan for free space for over provisioning (10% or more of the total capacity), so that it helps to maintain performance.

the above is what i think more practical if you wanted to have the better user experience in the long run. (as os drive, plus some common applications that you use most frequently)

alternatively, just go for large capacity sata ssds. this is because for normal use, you will not be able to make full use of a nvme ssd actually.

I think the price for this Adata XPG SX8200 nvme ssd quite reasonable

oh. you might need to wait for a while for this to happen. it's fine, because this means you don't need it as much as we do smile.gif

In fact the price for SSD has dropped quite significantly, but probably our local pricing still bit higher as compared to oversea, the Samsung 970 Pro 512GB is slightly less than RM1,100 selling in Amazon US including shipping to Malaysia, this price we only can get Evo model doh.gif

Price for SSD per GB dipped down below RM1/GB, but of course don't expect any extreme performance from this SSD, use it for gaming storage still much better than conventional mechanical drives.

If you like RGB lighting then get the xpg s40g, basically it is sx8200pro as suggested above but with RGB heatsink, price also similar to sx8200pro.

guys, adata sx8200 pro vs samsung 970 evo plus for 1 tb?
i see many people say samsung software is top tier but what software does an ssd really need?
*
I have both Samsung 970evo & Adata SX8200pro, i don't know what can do with the software, to me it is just an optimization software for ssd. In terms of endurance Samsung 970evoplus is much better than Adata SX8200pro, 1200TBW vs 640TBW
