ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 512GB SSD Review

Conclusion

Initially when I checked the price of the SX8200 Pro it was around $118, but when confirming the pricing, I saw it had changed to $85. This took an already good drive and made it better as it is among the cheapest NVMe drives money can buy, while managing to offer great performance. At this price it’s simply hard to recommend another M.2 SSD. For comparison, the Intel 760P 512GB model compared with the SX8200 Pro costs over $140 despite it’s age. That drive in itself was highly impressive at the time of release. Against the SX8200 Pro however, there’s really no contest.

As for the SX8200 Pro package. Well there isn’t much in the box naturally outside of the heatsink or plate. This is probably the weakest part of the drive as it is largely useless as stated earlier in this review. A better heatsink is required as the one included is more cosmetic than anything else. Outside of this however I’ve truly no qualms or issues with the SX8200 Pro. It offers incredible value for money with above average performance in this segment. For a primary drive this is one to look at. For games 512GB (476GB formatted) may be on the small side (considering many games now are over 100GB), but for everything else this one is easy to recommend. The ADATA SX8200 Pro is certainly worth your consideration I believe.
