ADATA ASX6000NP-128GT-C 128GB XPG SX6000 M.2 SSD M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3x2 3D NAND R/W 730/660 MB/s - (Components > SSD Solid State Drive)

If your thinking of fitting any M.2 SSD beware compatibility issues are a major problem I tried a few that should have worked but didn't this was the first one I found that did but even then not without problems. First it should have come with a screw to secure it as the screw required is totally different to any other screw found in a PC so was a pain to find. Second Windows 10 showed it on device manager but that was it didn't show it as a drive in my PC. However my diagnostic prog could see it and test it and said it was working fine So I then ran EaseUS Partition Master which also showed it and let me format it so at last Windows 10 shows it as normal. Note this process doesn't sound long but did involve many hours googling for a solution

It runs hot compared to my Samsung M.2 SSD around 47•C compared to 28•C for the Samsung. That's after installing the supplied heat sink. I initially had one difficulty installing the card, as it appeared partitioned as a low capacity drive of around 200mb. However, I managed to partition it to its correct size. It now woks speedily, and well, haven't noticed any throttling. Average transfer speed between the cards 600MB/s, which is plenty fast enough for me. This is a good budget drive. Recommended as such.

It’s a decent SSD with expected transfer speeds however I worryingly returned the item since my laptop is a really high spec and high value, because of the over heat issue.If this doesn’t concern you it’s a pretty good choice since you’ll never find anything similar at the current price.

High performance but... it's too hot, I did some research that it is under the working temperature and the max temperature is 150c, I didn't install the cover since it is not a heatsink, I'm sure if I install the cover the temperature will be higher. As of now Im purchasing a set of Passive Cooler for M.2 2280 SSD.

Works exactly as one would expect. Running my win10 OS on it. The PC turns on faster than I can turn on the monitor.

Works great no issues and fast perfect I'll buy from these guys again

Bought this (the 128GB) for just £43 from another supplier but wanted to give my findings with it.I added this to my X99 based workstation as I wanted a pagefile drive. It seems Windows 10 caches a lot more and having a small pagefile (I have 16GB of DDR4) kills certain software that Windows 10 now likes to allocate a lot of commit space. This SSD would take the stress of running a bigger pagefile off my PM961 Samsung NVMe SSD.I mounted it in a Asus Hyper PCI-e/NVMe adapter as my PM961 sits in the motherboard slot. The speeds were pretty good.750MBps Read and 680MBps Write. Not bad considering its only 128GB and this can be found for the same price as a average 500MBps SATA drive.I did add a small square heatsink to the SSD controller though as I noted it got quite hot when I was testing it. One from a Raspberry Pi cooling kit will do.Edit - I tested the drive later with HD Tune Pro and that benchmarked in the 1000Mbps range so I guess that's what Adata used. However, it's an old benchmark and I don't rate it that much. CrystalDisk and ATTO both backed up the 750/675MBps speeds.
