Buy from this store:
https://shopee.com.my/ADATA-XPG-SX8200-PRO-...3299.1597395557

Do not buy from EIT STORE. Paid to them on 1 November, 12 November still hasn't shipped
No explanation whatsoever from the store & they never reply my chat messages eventhough they read it
Tired of waiting, I request for a refund directly with Lazada help center, luckily got a refund

Then I proceed to order with GT Mart on 12 November. 14 November my SSD already arrived

Why do people still insist on buying from physical stores in this day & age?

That's why I gave the GT Mart link
The problemaitc seller is the EIT Store
Baru keluar dari gua ke bang?
Its a solid state drive for storage

M.2 NVMe Solid State Drive has been available since 2013

Although there is a speed decrease, it's not to a level where it goes down lower than SATA SSD speed
Below is my test results between 7% and 96%



With the price difference between a Samsung 970 Pro 512GB at RM1K++ & ADATA SX8200 Pro 512GB at RM435, I'd take the ADATA anyday

Are you having the same issue if you use another SSD?
Can state the model of your motherboard

Does that mean you have another SSD that doesn't have this issue?

OFA NVMe driver slows down the SSD performance
My SX8200 Pro read & write speed drops down a lot after using the OFA NVMe driver

Generic Windows 10 NVMe driver
Yes, SMART information is displayed correctly in CrystalDiskInfo

Well except the temperature reading. I don't believe the temperature reading is correct since the SSD is sitting between 2 x RX 580. Even when gaming the temperature never exceeds 31°C

Clean install 1809
I'm using EK-M.2 NVMe Heatsink on the SX8200 Pro although I think the temperature is still incorrect

No air conditioner
My GPU is around 85°C at maximum load
Whereas my CPU never exceed 45°C because it's watercooled

Although the EK-M.2 heatsink does cool both the top & bottom part of the SSD, not like all M.2 motherboard heatsink that only cools the top of the SSD

You raise issue in here for what?
To see if other users has the same issue boleh la
To get it fixed, speak directly with ADATA. Contact their technical support

Just received another unit of the 512GB today
Can't wait to get back home and format my PC later tonight then see what kind of speed can I get with 2 units of ADATA SX8200 Pro 512GB on RAID 0

Something wrong. The 4KB speed is wayyyyyy too low
It's even slower than a single SX8200 Pro. Must be my RAID configuration. Or I should move the 2nd SX8200 Pro to another slot on my X399 board since Threadripper is dual die on a single processor unlike most processors

Not quite sure what's causing these result
Sequential speed is not the whole story

The difference is too much

Yeap. 2950x

If by hardware you mean using a special PCI-e card, no
Loaded AMD RAID driver while installing Windows 10

Done, but no major improvement
The 4KiB changed from 1000MB/s to about 1038MB/s
However the sequential read speed drops from 6600MB/s to 5200MB/s

Not much option in Asrock UEFI, only available option is the cache size, no block size option available
I'm using official AMD NVMe RAID driver

If 1-to-1 is already done but the issue is still there, it's not the SSD nor the driver that's causing the issue
It's your system

Are you using it in a laptop or a desktop?
The best way to test if the SSD is working fine is try installing the SSD in another desktop / laptop

The SX8200 Pro
