Adata introduces m2-nvme SSDs in XPG line

Adata has announced a new line of SSDs with the designation XPG. The m2-nvme SSDs come in sizes of 128GB, 256GB, 512GB and 1TB and achieve read and write speeds of up to 2400MB/s and 1000MB/s respectively.

According to AnandTech, the SSD is equipped with 3D MLC Nand chips and the Silicon Motion SM2260 controller. This controller supports a maximum read speed of 2400MB/s and a maximum write speed of 1000MB/s. Only the 512GB and 1TB variants can actually achieve this speed. The 256GB version achieves a read speed of 2000MB/s and a write speed of 600MB/s. The 128GB version can read at 1000MB/s and write at 300MB/s.

The drive’s random read/write scores are sequentially 100,000 and 140,000 iops for the 512GB and 1TB variant, 80,000 and 130,000 iops for the 256GB model, and 45,000 and 75,000 iops for the 128GB version. Adata promises that the SSD can be written with a larger amount of data than comparable products, but does not show any numbers to support this claim. The company does indicate a mean time between failure of two million hours.

Adata has not yet announced prices and although the product is available from today, it is not yet known when it will be available in the Benelux.
