XPG GAMMIX S70 Blade 2 TB SSD

Experience unparalleled performance with the GAMMIX S70 BLADE, featuring the cutting-edge PCIe Gen 4 interface that delivers sequential read/write speeds up to 7400/6800 MB per second – two times faster than PCIe 3.0 SSDs! Compatible with both PCIe 3.0 and 4.0 platforms, this drive ensures ease of use and compatibility. Boasting a robust high-temperature-resistant aluminium heatsink, the S70 BLADE efficiently dissipates heat, reducing temperatures by up to 20%. Its sleek design also enhances aesthetics with its streamlined surface and geometric ridges. Equipped with Dynamic SLC Caching and DRAM Cache Buffer technologies, the S70 BLADE boosts performance for video editing, rendering, and gaming, delivering exceptional results.

With capacities of up to 8 TB, powered by 3D NAND Flash memory, this drive offers excellent durability and longevity thanks to error-correcting and protection technologies along with a high TBW (Total Bytes Written) rating. It also supports LDPC error correcting code for accurate data transmission. Additionally, End-to-End (E2E) Data Protection, RAID Engine support, and AES 256-bit Encryption ensure data security and integrity.

This has been given the Editor's Choice award in TechPowerUp XPG GAMMIX S70 Blade 2 TB review.

"When looking at the synthetic results of our test suite, one has to be impressed. The Gammix S70 Blade has higher random IOPS than the Samsung 980 Pro and WD Black SN850, only the MP600 Pro is a tiny bit faster. Random writes and random mixed results are also fantastic. In our 4K Random Mixed performance test, the Gammix S70 Blade is actually the fastest drive we ever tested. Sequential throughput is also very impressive, as it is the fastest drive in sequential read, second-fastest in sequential mixed, and third-fastest in sequential write." - W1zzard

XPG Lancer CUDIMM RGB DDR5

DDR5 CUDIMM technology has achieved even greater speeds, advancing from a base clock of 4,800 MT/s to an impressive 6,400 MT/s (JEDEC). After overclocking, this remarkable leap in performance can push speeds up to 10,000 MT/s+, significantly enhancing system bandwidth. This makes CUDIMM particularly well-suited for big data operations such as AI generation and deep learning tasks, while also accelerating 3D rendering and animation production. When pushed to its overclocked limits, it can cater to the needs of hardcore gamers.

CUDIMM core technology features a Clock Driver (CKD) that effectively buffers and stabilizes frequencies, resulting in improved memory stability and better performance due to higher frequency memory. This innovation is key to DDR5 surpassing existing speed limitations and has been certified for compatibility with major motherboard brands, ensuring seamless integration with Intel's Z890 chipset.

The LANCER CUDIMM offers an eye-catching gaming aesthetic while promoting environmental responsibility through the use of recycled aluminium heatsinks and FSC-certified paper packaging. Its lighting effects software is compatible with leading motherboard manufacturers' programs, allowing for control via either the motherboard's lighting effect software or XPG Prime. XPG Prime enables setting unique DRAM lighting effects, as well as synchronizing all Prime-supported XPG RGB products to create stunning light shows and build a personalized Prime ecosystem.
