Review on πŸ’Ύ XPG GAMMIX S50 Lite 1TB PCIe Gen 4.4 NVMe 1.4 Solid State Drive (AGAMMIXS50L-1T-C) by Lauren Perry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Terrible real-world speeds of 55MB/s file transfer

I was very happy with my 4th Gen NVME drive. I ran a crystal test, the result was over 3200MB/s read and write. BIG! I bought the Lite version, is that normal right? What a bug, so this machine has an SLC cache. Everything is fine during testing, maybe when installing games on Steam or just transferring files, you have an average speed of only 55 MB / s. You get reasonable speed for the first 5 seconds, but the speed drops very quickly. Even using my other NVME PCI-3 generation I don't have these issues and I get over 2000MB/s. When downloading games from Steam my bottleneck is that my internet speed is 1Gbps which is 100Mbps but stable. At the moment even my SSD is faster than this drive. DON'T BUY THIS SHIT
