The media could not be loaded.
 I have it filled at roughly 33% for a game drive only. I'm also using an M.2 heatsink which keeps the temperatures under 35 degrees in a well ventilated case (bequiet w/3 140mm case fans).

I'm concerned with temperatures for long term usage. Without the aftermarket heatsink, the temperatures were bad, easily spiking up to 50-70 degrees w/large file transfers.

Lastly, as you can see with my pictures, even with 33% being used, it maintains really good performance. Note that I'm using Crystal Disk Mark v7 beta5, so not exactly apples-to-apples with their older benches.

5.0 out of 5 stars A major imrovement to my System
Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2018
Capacity: 480 GBVerified Purchase
I don't use any of the benchmark software like most people, but the pictures from other reviews will tell you just how fast this thing is. I was able to create a copy of a 5Gb video in about 5 seconds and that's about all it takes for my computer to boot up as well. It was a slight pain getting my old drive cloned onto this one though. It comes with a free product activation code for Acronis True Image 2015, but ironically, that version of the software doesn't work with M.2 drives. So I'd recommend using the free version of EaseUS to make your life easier.
Going back to the drive though, this thing is fast. A fantastic value for amazing performance.

I was thinking of getting a Samsung 970EVO, but went with this one because of much lower price, and due to good personal experience of using ADATA products in past.

As per crystal disk mark I am getting exactly same read/write speeds on R5 2600 + B450 Tomahawk. I didn't have to install any particular driver to achieve the advertised speed.

Windows 10 boot time is now just 4-5 seconds (including MB POST time). I did copy a 50GB game installer to this drive and installed the game in this same drive to test the speed. To my amazement everything was finished in 5-6 minutes!

Big thumbs up to the ADATA for the blazing fast and affordable XPG8200.

I have been wanting to add more SSD storage to my machine so that I could move some of my VR titles off the HDD. I scooped this up on a lightning deal and I couldn't be more pleased. The performance is 1 step down from the fastest SSDs out there, coming in at 3200m read opposed to 3800m, but at this price point it is absolutely the best bang for your buck. Speed tests come in right at 3200mb/s for read and 1800 mb/s write. My old SATA WD was 500mb/s R/W.
Easy to install and image.

5.0 out of 5 stars Important things to know before you buy this outstanding price to performance drive
Reviewed in Canada on December 4, 2018
Capacity: 480 GBVerified Purchase
Whether you call it NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) SSD or PCI Express (3.0 x4 ) SSD, it is all the same.
This ADATA SX8200 NVMe SSD has a great performance a little less but similar to Samsung 970 EVO NVMe SSD but for much less money. It is much faster than a regular SSD especially if you use it as a boot drive ( I wouldn't recommend it otherwise, not as a backup drive anyway) and it also has a 5 year warranty.

But keep in mind that you need a motherboard that can support NVMe ( most recent motherboards do) in other words that it has a M.2 slot that supports not only regular SATA SSD but a M.2 slot that supports NVMe SSD. To also take advantage of the full NVMe SSD speed, you need to install it in the M.2 slot that has the 4 lane PCIe Express (3.0 x4) as per the instructions manual of your specific motherboard. Otherwise it may only run at half the speed if placed in another m.2 slot. Also make sure you can boot from it in the Bios with NVMe.
Even if you do not have a M.2 slot you may be able to use a M.2 NVMe to PCIe 3.0 x4 adapter card to install the NVMe drive on it. But keep in mind that most older mainstream BIOSes do not support booting from NVMe and most likely, never will.

Other important fact is that if you use it on a Windows system, make sure the operating system supports the NVMe drivers for it to be recognized during the installation process. I know for a fact that Windows 10 does support it automatically but Windows 7 doesn't.
But there is always a way...

This section concerns installation on Windows 7 only

I was finally successful installing my Adata SX8200 NVMe SSD on my Windows 7 system but I had a hard time even though I knew it would be a challenge. Since Windows 7 is an older system ( but still supported until 2020 by Microsoft) it did not have the NVMe support since it is a newer technology. If you insist on installing it on Windows 7 for any reason, you will have to inject the NVMe drivers into your Windows 7 Installer USB before you can install Windows 7 on your NVMe SSD (make sure you get the most recent version on the Microsoft website since it has USB 3.0 support as well on it, unless already know you do have it. Also If you can't download it because you do not have your product key handy, there is a legitimate tool called HEIDOC that can do this download for you but keep in mind you will still need a Windows 7 product key to activate your copy of Windows within 30 days. There are 2 legitimate website where you can buy it for cheap on SCDKey.com and on Kinguin.net. They even offer a protection for a few dollars more in case you're worried your product key wouldn't work for any reason).

As for power users out there !!! There are a few good YouTube videos and web sites that shows you step by step on how to integrate the NVMe drivers through the Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) using the CMD (command prompt) using the DISM command line into install.wim but even if you follow the steps it may not work since you have to know which index (of the 4 indexes) represents the Windows 7 version you are installing (ex. : Windows 7 Ultimate or Windows 7 Home, etc...) to mount the Windows 7 NVME drivers. Of course there is command line for this also... :

dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile: c:\sources\install.wim
(where " c:\sources\install.wim " is an example of the location of your install.wim location on you computer)

Since I didn't know at the beginning that there was multiple index on the install.wim that I got from my Windows 7 Installation USB drive I did not verify it so the DISM commands all worked but did not apply on my specific Windows 7 index version unfortunately.

I did not want to get through the whole process again, so I decided to use a much simpler method using a tool from Gigabyte on their website called " Gigabyte USB tool". By the way it seems to work on other motherboard brands because it worked on my Asrock motherboard. To find the tool search for "Gigabyte USB tool" in Google and select the link on Gigabyte.com then go down the list and search for "Windows USB installation Tool" to download it, install it and follow the instructions from the video I mention on the next section. --- Whether you use the DISM command line and include the /recurse option( to include the sub- folders within the location of your drivers) or the following method please consider using a 16 GO USB drive since 8 GO may not be enough space while adding the additional drivers to your Windows 7 installer USB key.

I strongly suggest you to watch a video on YouTube called "Installing Windows 7 on Kaby Lake, Skylake, Coffee Lake and NVME - LIVE" from Carey Holzman who explain it very well. He even explains how to get the updates on Windows 7 for recent computer systems for Kaby Lake and more recent ones on Intel platform and also for Ryzen on AMD plarform... there is a specific patch called Wufuc by Zeffy on github website. That worked for me !

Hope that was helpful !

Absolutely stunning. Didn't install with the heatsinks and removed the paper runs low temps. My pc now boots in like 5 secs on UEFI boot. Plan on using this for a long time cut off about 14 seconds from my ssd boot.. so I usually turn on / off my computer like 4-5x a day so that's 70 seconds saved a day.. x365 that's like 7 hours saved a year lol. That's just boot time alone! Assuming it holds its speeds. I bought 1 terabyte and put everything on it, my boot, pagefile and games. You got a 5 year warranty if anything happens so get your money's worth !

Initially had a little bit of challenge due to not following instructions on how to setup StoreMI. But once setup, it has been very fast. Transfers are very fast and pc has been very stable. The product physically is high quality as well. Price is just right. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product, Justified Price!

This product is great for its price! Other NVMe M.2 Drives such as Samsung 970 Evo 500GB and WD Black 500GB cost for around ₹16000 and ₹14000 respectively. These are the wholesale prices that I came across while a searched for a new SSD. At ₹11500, this is an absolute steal. With rated R/W speeds of 3200/1700 though marginally slower in read speed as compared to the other two, it doesn't really matter much in practical situations. The drive has 5 year warranty, so it is assured that it is a good quality NVMe drive. You cannot get any cheaper if you want a fast NVMe drive for your PC. Go for it!
