The Addlink X70 RGB is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched on September 17th, 2021. It is available in capacities ranging from 256 GB to 2 TB. This page reports specifications for the 2 TB variant. With the rest of the system, the Addlink X70 RGB interfaces using a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the PS5012-E12-27 from Phison, a DRAM cache chip is available. Addlink has installed 64-layer TLC NAND flash on the X70 RGB, the flash chips are made by Toshiba. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are soaked up more quickly. The X70 RGB is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 3,500 MB/s and 3,000 MB/s write; random IOPS reach up to 550K for reads and 680K for writes.
At its launch, the SSD was priced at 330 USD. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. Addlink guarantees an endurance rating of 1600 TBW, a typical value for consumer SSDs.
