  7. I cannot find the new SSD in my system, what should I do?

    New SSDs are usually blank. User will need to initialize the new drive and format it after allocating the new volume in disk management.

    The new drive is smaller than advertised capacity.

    The advertised capacity is using 1GB = 1 billion bytes and 1TB = 1 trillion bytes. Actual user capacity may be less depending on OS.

    I do not see the advertised RAM speed in my system

    By default, a newly installed ram kit speed will be limited to JEDEC standard. To run at the advertised speed, please enable and change your XMP profile in BIOS.

    Excellent Speed/Performance, Poor Technical Support
    4 Stars
    Excellent Speed/Performance, Poor Technical Support
    I've attached actual performance benchmarks from CrystalDiskMark in the images, both for a single drive and for the drives in RAID 0 configured as the boot volume. As you can see there is a slight boost for using RAID on sequential reads and a noticeable bump to writes. The drives installed easily, setting up RAID was a breeze thanks to ASUS/Intel RST. Windows 10 Pro installed smoothly and worked first time out.So, why not 5 stars? This model is listed as being supported by ADATA's SSD Toolbox software. This software is the only way to update the firmware and offers optimization, diagnostics and utilities that I'd like to try out. In RAID 0 the drives aren't recognized by the SSD Toolbox application. I contacted technical support who informed me the software would not work in conjunction with a RAID volume. This is understandable because the RAID controller is masking them into a single volume. I then wiped the RAID volume and re-installed Windows 10 onto a single drive, however, even when not combined into a RAID volume where the drives are independently recognized by the OS, the software still does not see the drives. I reached out to technical support again with screenshots demonstrating the issue and the response was to uninstall/reinstall the software. I did this, no joy. Interestingly, my Samsung SATA III SSDs were both recognized. They pointed out that there is not a firmware update needed currently but things may get complicated as time goes and updates come. As of this writing, no solution to get the software to recognize the drives under normal conditions. I'm not satisfied by the support, as they seem to be dodging any actual assistance and e-mail responses take an entire day between steps/recommendations.Below is the system I have the drives installed in currently. It's a home productivity workstation and planned to be a gaming rig after some key upgrades down the road.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Revitalized My 2015 MacBook Pro - A Game Changer!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2023
    Style: M.2 PCIe 3500MB/sCapacity: 1 TBVerified Purchase
    I recently upgraded my MacBook with the ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 1TB 3D NAND NVMe Gen3x4 PCIe M.2 SSD, and it feels like I've got a brand new machine. This upgrade deserves a solid 5-star rating for several reasons:

    Incredible Speed Boost: The most noticeable improvement is the speed. My MacBook boots up significantly faster, and applications launch almost instantaneously. File transfers that used to take minutes now complete in seconds. It's not just an upgrade; it's a total transformation in terms of performance.

    High Capacity Storage: With 1TB of space, I have more than enough room for all my files, applications, and multimedia. It's a relief not having to worry about running out of space or managing storage as frequently.

    Reliable and Durable: The 3D NAND technology not only provides excellent performance but also ensures reliability and durability. I feel confident that this SSD will last a long time, maintaining its speed and integrity.

    Important Note on Compatibility: To make this SSD work with my MacBook, I used the Sintech NGFF M.2 NVMe adapter. This is a crucial piece of information for any MacBook users considering this upgrade. The adapter was easy to install and worked flawlessly, ensuring the SSD was compatible with my MacBook.

    Value for Money: Considering the performance boost and the new lease of life it has given to my MacBook, the price is absolutely worth it. It’s a cost-effective way to extend the life of an older MacBook, rather than purchasing a new one.

    In conclusion, the ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro with the Sintech adapter has been an outstanding upgrade for my MacBook. If you're looking to rejuvenate an older MacBook and get performance that rivals current models, I can't recommend this SSD enough. Five stars for breathing new life into my old machine!

    This is the last component to complete a new build. The main driver of the performance I was looking for was to be able to play games on a 1440 monitor smoothly with settings on High. I was prepared to wait a few months for prices on M2 NVME drives to come down. Cyber Monday did it. Pulled the trigger and the next day this appeared on my doorstep.
    The Motherboard I picked (Asrock Z390 Steel Legend) came with standoffs and screws for 2 of these babies and physical installation went as expected. I agree with other posts I have seen, these screws need to be larger. A magnetic screwdriver is your friend.
    The drive needs to be initialized in Win10 then formatted, this went smoothly, and quickly, lol. Adata has two different cloning utilities on their website and I tried the Macrium Reflect. The other one requires a registration code from Adata which proved difficult to obtain. Cloning seemed to be successful but the system would not boot from this drive at first.
    I ended up doing what I should have done from the beginning, doing a fresh install of Win10 from a a USB boot stick with the existing SSD disconnected. This worked fabulously, took about ten minutes.
    System specs:
    I7 9700KF running stock speeds for now
    Asrock Z390 Steel Legend
    16G Corsair memory running at 3200, Cas level 16
    Adata ZPG 8200 Pro 1 Tb M2 NVME
    Adata SU750 1 Tb SSD
    Seagate Baracuda 2 Tb HD
    ASUS internal DVD writer (yea I know I'm a throwback)
    Corsair 750 Gold 80 PSU
    Gigabyte 2070 Super Gaming OC GPU
    Corsair H100i Pro CPU cooler
    beQuiet Pure Base 600 case

    Disk benchmarks: Sequential reads only listed
    Seagate HD: 224Mbs
    Adata SSD: 548 Mbs
    Adata 8200 Pro M2: 3480 Mbs !

    It hits all advertised speeds. Cold boot takes 20 seconds. Screen loading on games is about cut in half compared to running off the SSD. Installation of programs/games is no longer a waiting game, it just happens.

    My last install of a new drive was a Samsung 860 500Gb SSD. Samsung Magician actually worked to clone it but it only works on Samsung drives. I would recommend going straight to a fresh install of Windows for this drive.
    I did talk to Adata support during the cloning attempt. I already had around 400Gb of games on the SSD prior to the M2 install and didn't want to kill my 1 Tb download allowance from Comcast for the month. Their support person was knowledgeable and friendly and said that the Macrium software usually works.
    Would I buy this again? Oh yes, it is in the top tier of performance for these drives and it is finally priced right, $105 for the 1 Tb version on Cyber Monday. It affects loading of any program you use, the system is now incredibly snappy. Even just web browsing! If you are still running off of a hard drive a SSD will improve your performance quite noticeably, but now that prices are coming down finally on these M2 NVME drives, just skip the SSD entirely. I wish I could have afforded the M2 drive long ago, lol.
    One question remains- longevity. These critters are small and don't have a lot of surface area for heat dissipation and it was a concern. The drive will automatically throttle back if heat rises beyond a threshold value. The MB I ended up with comes with its' own heat sinks for M2 drives, which reinstalled easily (although tiny screws again). I've been keeping an eye on temp on this thing and it has not been a problem at all. It is said that heat only becomes an issue under heavy sustained writes lasting over 110 seconds or so. My heaviest use case so far was probably the Windows install. But it showed no real heat increase, the transfer being limited by the USB 3.1 speed. The M2 was just loafing along at 7% or 8% utilization.
    I highly recommend this drive, it is the finishing touch on this system!

    My review of the XPG SX8200 Pro 2TB 3D NAND NVMe Gen3x4 PCIe M.2 2280 Solid State Drive R/W 3500/3000MB/s SSD (ASX8200PNP-2TT-C) (SM2262EN Controller Version)

    Previous purchases include:
    Crucial P1 1TB 3D NAND NVMe PCIe Internal SSD, up to 2000MB/s - CT1000P1SSD8
    Crucial MX500 1TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD, up to 560MB/s - CT1000MX500SSD1(Z)
    and I use the former in a Plugable USB-C NVMe enclosure (USB 3.1 Gen 2) and the latter in an OWC Mercury On-The-Go (USB 3.0) enclosure. Both were attached to a CalDigit TSI3+ Dock respectively.

    The first was used for media files (ripped CD's, downloads and home video projects) were the second was used for audio content related to DAW projects and accompanying software library content.

    While pushing upwards on the capacity of both 1TB SSD I opted to increase my available capacity and chose the XPG SX8200. My purchase decision was influenced by a YouTube review on Tech Deals "SSD Review — 8 NVMe M.2 Drives Tested — Which Should You Buy? — 2019 Edition" Truthfully, I imagine I would have pleased with any of the competing devices.

    Using the XPG SX8200 in an OWC Envoy Express TB3 enclosure. In real world use I perceive the speed advantage over USB 3.x as a noticeable lack of latency when accessing files in Apple Music or Logic Pro. Black Magic Speed Test demonstrates a clear advantage. Note, none of my home projects tax the bandwidth of these bus speeds - capacity is the issue I addressed. This device is run off the TB3 port on a '16 15-inch MBP (bring on the M1 processor!)

    I've recently purchased a second XPG SX8200/Envoy Express combo with an eye towards repurposing the 'older' devices within the household. Went to register the new device on the ADATA web page today and they appear to be having issues - didn't experience this when I registered the 1st XPG. I hope you are as pleased with the XPG SX8200 as I am.

    Este componente lo instalamos para correr programas de diseño y arquitectura, funciona muy bien, es fácil de instalar. Algo talvez no tan relevante pero que en mi punto de vista es bueno, es el hecho que el embalaje es de lo mas sencillo, no trae manuales ni papelería extra que se convierte en basura, en general les recomiendo cualquier producto de xpg.

    No meu notebook Acer Nitro 5 An517-55-78YY de 17", as velocidade alcançadas foram de R/W 3443/2718MB/s de 1TB nos testes via software CrystalDiskMark ... Velocidades incríveis para mim, pois a iniciação do meu notebook que já era rápida com um MVMe Gen3x2 da Samsung de 500GB eram da ordem de R/W 1602/743MB/s, algo em torno dos 8 segundos e mesmo adcionando novo HD SSD Sata a este notebook, ele pulou apenas para 10 segundos, e ainda a abertura dos programas ficou surreal de rápido com qualquer clique ... o único senão é a temperatura desse e de qualquer MVMe dessa categoria é a temperatura que aumenta muito, e no caso no meu notebook pulou de 30ºC para 57ºC, mesmo com o termal pad que veio na caixa, nos testes no software CrystalDiskInfo9_0_1a. Como indicado por outro comprador a caixa que vem com o produto tem muita coisa escrita em Chines e é diferente daquela caixa do anúncio, porém é o produto com parâmetros informados no anuncio, indicando que é produto novo, mas que pode ser usado apenas internamente na China ... Seu benchmark que fiz mostra que as velocidades estão compatíveis, mesmo em um notebook comprado em 2020. ... Chegou 10 dias antes do combinado ... Recomendo a todos!
