ADATA SX8000NP M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD Pictured

[btarunr]

ADATA showed off its flagship M.2 PCIe SSD lineup, the SX8000NP. These drives will target a price-performance sweetspot between the fastest SATA drives, and the enthusiast M.2 ones. They're driven by a Silicon Motion SMI2260H processor, wired to 3D (stacked) MLC NAND flash memory. This drive takes advantage of PCI-Express 3.0 x4, and the new NVMe protocol, to serve up sequential transfer rates of up to 2,000 MB/s reads, with up to 800 MB/s writes. ADATA put up its own CDM performance numbers for a 480 GB variant of this drive.

this might be a decent competition towards the 950 pro if it were priced just right. hint hint adata

Adata typically is priced quite competitively. The SP550 Series are phenomenal for the price (bearing in mind that these drives are also TLC flash, but still cheaper than most TLC drives.)
