ADATA XPG SX8200 SSD Review: Affordable, Quick NVMe-Based Storage
Performance Summary: The ADATA XPG SX8200 480GB drive we tested offered a well-balanced mix of performance. Sequential read speeds are highly competitive, even if the drive didn’t quite catch the WD Black or Samsung SSD 970 EVO we also tested. Sequential writes landed somewhere in the middle of the pack, but that was to be expected based on the drive’s specifications. Latency looks good overall, however, low queue-depth 4K transfers are particularly strong. The ADATA XPG SX8200 put up the best 4K QD1T1 numbers in CrystalDiskMark and IOMeter and the drive also took second place in the trace-based PCMark tests.

In the end, there’s a lot to like here. The ADATA XPG SX8200 is fast where it needs to be, it’s durable, and competitively priced. That’s a good mix if you ask us. If you’re looking for an NVMe SSD, you should absolutely check the ADATA XPG SX8200 out.
