[SSD] ADATA XPG SX8200 PRO 1TB - $129.99 ($139.99 - $10 coupon) (Amazon)

https://www.amazon.com/XPG-SX8200-Gen3x4-3000MB-ASX8200PNP-1TT-C/dp/B07K1J3C23. Posted 512GB link. Sale is for 1tb and 2tb model.

Apologies.

how is this SSD vs this ADATA one??

Here you go: ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 1TB 3D NAND NVMe Gen3x4 PCIe M.2 2280 Solid State Drive R/W 3500/3000MB/s SSD (ASX8200PNP-1TT-C) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K1J3C23/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_BYHHFbBWYCX6Q

Go with 3600 mhz ram instead of 3200. Swap out the crucial p1 for this. Faster ram will be noticed by about 10 fps usually and most of the times its less than 5-10$ more expensive. Crucial p1 has an issue where it slows down significantly when filled up more than half way. The XPG one is much faster and doesn't have that issue whatsoever.

Admittedly, first time making a post, so maybe this isn't that good of a deal. But Amazon (maybe Prime particularly) gave a $5 coupon on this, bringing it to $64.99. Given that the WD Blue and Crucial P1 are just $5 cheaper and this is a lot faster, it seems like a really good drive, with some comparisons out there to the Samsung 970 Pro (if not quite there). Take that for what you will - looks like a good quick M.2.

The 1TB is also available for $124.99 with a $10 coupon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K1J3C23/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

DRAM, SLC, PCIe NVMe

The Evoo LP6 seems to support up to 32gb. Make sure you use 2400 mhz 2x16 modules that use the same voltage as the originals.

You should be able to add a 1TB however not sure if both m.2 can be used as PCIE and the Sata drive used as well.

​

For NVME I'd pick this:

AData 1TB NVME SSD

​

For 2.5" SSD Whatever is cheapest with good warranty, Samsung QVO series is pretty good.

>on top of the fact that ssds on PC are faster then the ssd in the next gen consoles

Uh, no?

NVMe drives are fast, but they're not PS5 fast. PS5 apparently gets 5.5 GBps. The fastest PCI 4.0 NVMe drive I can find is this one, which only gets between 3-3.5 GBps. I would not call 57% slower than PS5 "faster than the ssd in the next gen consoles."

I know that PC will catch up, but consoles have a clear lead at this point. Even though most computers have SSDs at this point, they don't come close to the speeds we'll be seeing in a few months from a new console.

Is this better than this which is $119 after the $10 coupon?

There’s a $10 coupon checkbox below the price, at least when I bring it up.

It may only be for Prime members.

Here’s the link.

Ya, it will work perfectly fine and it's not like you would need to get rid of it. I'd just suggest that when you get an NVME that you just clone the BX500 to the new NVME, and you can always use the BX500 for additional game and file storage after. New games coming out in the next 1-2 years you may need to leave some room on the NVME though because future games will benefit from the NVME more than anything already made. It's just that there will just be times when a BX500 could slow down a lot and be closer to an HDD than an SSD.

Edit: I personally bought this one today. The 1tb had been on sale for $108 but it's back to $135 now, so for not much more than a regular SSD at $108 you're getting huge performance gains. Black Friday should have more similar deals.

Building my PC right now.

I have 1 ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 1TB 3D NAND NVMe Gen3x4 PCIe M.2 2280 Solid State Drive R/W 3500/3000MB/s SSD (ASX8200PNP-1TT-C) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K1J3C23/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_UcS2FbSBEXC4W?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Does it matter what m.2 slot I put this in on the mpg b550 gaming edge WiFi? I currently have it in the lower slot with out the heat sink.

The first thing I plan to do when I get it is replace the SSD with a 1TB. Adata has one on sale on Amazon, and I might buy it this weekend.

The MX300 is a SATA drive. It will be slower than a cheap NVMe drive which would go for less.

This is more what you're looking for.

Trying to pick an SSD. Found this one; it appears to offer the same speeds as the top competitors while being ~60 bucks cheaper. Apparently AData is a decently reputable brand as well. Is there any reason not to take this over something like the $20 cheaper Crucial P1, or something?

This one is even better and only $10 more w the $10 off coupon, just purchased

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K1J3C23

I'd also ditch the Samsung EVO in favor of a 1TB SSD. For about $30 more you can get an adata xpg xs8200 pro, which performs about as good as the EVO and have 4x the storage space.

In stock at amazon

And yeah that MoBo is literally the same as the b550 tomahawk. The only difference is aesthetics and the tomahawk supports higher ram speeds which is negligible because no one runs 5100Mhz ram lol

Should I pay 218 for 2 of these? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K1J3C23/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Or 180 for 2 of the Intel?

Streaming, videos/recording, you'll want to go with NVIDIA. AMDs new stuff is great for high FPS in games, but not much else it seems. (Which gives me a sad, I was pretty excited for RDNA2. VERY happy to hear NVIDIA is gonna be able to use Smart Access Memory as well with these new cards soon)

Don't cheap out on your PSU, 80+ Gold would be my personal recommendation, hard to go wrong with Corsair for that (check r/hardwareswap to get better prices)

5600X comes with a cooler, I'd maybe wait and see if you need a different one by observing temps after building. If you're not overclocking, I don't think you would need to get anything.

Not sure if you'd want to front a little more money on storage or not, but you can get a 2TB NVMe SSD for $220 + tax from Amazon The ADATA SX8200 is a great PCIE 3.0 SSD without the QLC issues like in the cheap Sabrent Q models. Figure it might be a lot easier (even with a SATA SSD) for doing anything with video editing and just avoiding a potentially noisy and slow HDD in the first place.

This

Or $99 for this

Currently in my PC, snagged it this past black Friday for $100, well worth the purchase.

I consider main the one with OS on it. But yeah that's what I did. I have a 1tb and couldn't be happier.

I'm akin to get an adata. I just need a good big sized USB as I carry with me long wedding footages. Thanks for the heads-up, I steered clear away from Samsung

Very interesting! I decided to go with an ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro.

Is that a better brand than ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 1TB 3D NAND NVMe Gen3x4 PCIe M.2 2280 Solid State Drive R/W 3500/3000MB/s SSD (ASX8200PNP-1TT-C) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K1J3C23/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ED2wEbJ5V2FBK

If you're willing to spend an additional $10 I'd go with the ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro , this has been my go to brand since I built my PC last summer and didn't feel like spending an arm and a leg on Samsung... That PNY and WD Black are also good/safe buys... only one I'd stay away from is that Silicon Power, I just don't trust them enough yet to say its worth the risk.

You may want to consider a TLC NAND NVME SSD over a QLC.

My suggestion is this one, it is however another $35. But look into it and see if it really affects you very much.

How is is compared to the ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro

It’s currently $119.99.

Probably the best performing drive under $150, also has 5 year warranty

If they're the same price, get the WD drive. Otherwise, if you have no specialized need, go with the ADATA XPG SX8200 which is on sale for $92 if you have Prime. Same controller as the Inland, generally same experience.

WD drive is geared for a bit more specialized workstation use, shares the same controller as the Sabrent Rocket 4.0, Samsung 970, etc. a tad bit overkill for every day use, but it's still a fantastic drive.

The 970 evo / evo plus both are quite good, maybe the adata sx8200 pro is a better price to performance ratio right now.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K1J3C23/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_eQWbFbEX9KHZT

This might be a super dumb question,but is there any performance difference between the 2tb and 1tb version of this SSD? https://www.amazon.com/XPG-SX8200-Gen3x4-3000MB-ASX8200PNP-1TT-C/dp/B07K1J3C23/?tag=georiot-us-default-20&ascsubtag=tomshardware-1402362032622052600-20&th=1

Thank you for the insight. That makes perfect sense.

So instead of the 970 EVO, I should go for something like this? And I know the Gigabyte Z390 UD would be the minimum, but would you recommend getting something a little beefier? I'd like to really invest so I'm okay if it doesn't match my current budget completely.

Thanks so much for the help, I'm super excited to get my hands on a powerful rig for once and your comment has already helped me out a ton!

64 Gigs of ram is way overkill. Stick with at most 32 gigs.

Also, you can save yourself a bit of cash by swapping out those Samsung drives for the Adata SX8200 Pro.

Which of these two would be better? The above WD one? Or this one?

The factory drive is crazy fast thankfully, I got a 1tb drive for a secondary that is 2/3 as fast and still plenty fast and a lot cheaper than a 970 EVO.

Adata m.2 SSD - Amazon link

That's a pretty powerful build and can totally hit 144 fps on certain games at 1440p. Anyways, either of these two SSDs are just as good if not better than the Samsung SSD on your list for less. Samsung tends to over charge for their storage.

https://www.newegg.com/hp-ex920-1tb/p/N82E16820326778

Get air cooling for cheaper, use the money to upgrade other places. I would also recommend a bigger SSD, you'll burn through 500gb fast. Also, 1tb SSDs are slightly faster than their 500gb alternatives.

Samsungs 970 is no longer the king of NVMe SSDs, instead of that get this. Having a fast SSD is one of the most determining factors in having a snappy computer.

Comparison: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/adata-xpg-sx8200-pro-ssd,5955-3.html

You could also get slightly faster RAM if you wanted. Like 3600mhz or even 4000mhz, depending on if you want to spend the extra dollar. https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-PC4-28800-Desktop-Memory/dp/B07RM39V5F/ or https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-PC4-28800-Optimized-Memory/dp/B07TC4TPCN/

Personally I just bought the adata xpg sx8200 pro. Its High-End on LTT SSD Tier List but some users say its even better

I would be transferring Western Digital to XPG

I am basically in your exact same boat, with a very similar parts list to build granted I get my hands on the 3080 tomorrow. The one thing I was advised to take another look at was the storage. After some more research I found the ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro will allow for proper M.2 speeds. It's about $20 more than your P1 but it might be worth checking out. Good luck tomorrow! https://www.amazon.com/XPG-SX8200-Gen3x4-3000MB-ASX8200PNP-1TT-C/dp/B07K1J3C23

Hi guys! Could use a quick yes/no confirmation: I want to add some additional fast storage to my PC. I have this motherboard, and I'm looking at this m.2 SSD. Can someone just help me confirm 100% if this combination is a good fit? I'm reasonably tech-competent, but there are so many specs and acronyms and similar-but-not-exactly-the-same standards at play here, I'd really appreciate a quick sanity-check. Thanks!

Sweet, thanks for the tip! :) What does the gigabyte offer, that the other does not? I'm liking the integrated WIFI on the Tomahawk one, that's why I'm leaning towards that, if the WIFI card is good.

Also gonna use buy this: https://www.amazon.com/XPG-SX8200-Gen3x4-3000MB-ASX8200PNP-1TT-C/dp/B07K1J3C23 Should fit nice with the X570 as far as I know :) Why is the read/write speed insanely high compared to a standard SSD like kingston KC600?

I got the Adata XPG SX8200 Pro 1TB on Amazon. The Pro comes with a heat spreader to keep it cool. I'm getting 3115 read/3218 write.

Firstly, thank you for your service to members of the PC building community. I am a noob and have learned a lot from your posts.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I haven't been able to find a definitive answer in my research.

I have 2 m.2 slots on my x570 tomahawk. I currently have two ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 1TBs and one SK hynix Gold P31 1TB.

Prices being equal, which would you return?

In case this matters: I am hoping to pick up a 2tb m.2 ssd on Black Friday/Cyber Monday and have been looking at the xpg line, but have heard there was a controller change leading to marginally poorer performance.

Thank you in advance!
