Review on XPG 2TB GAMMIX Blade AGAMMIXS70B 2T CS by Adam Nikodem ᠌

The disk is very good, but it spoils everything, which is surprising, the native radiator. It's installed from the factory and looks like it should be easy to handle. But in fact, I saw a figure of 65 degrees in games, in benchmarks it happened at 69-70 degrees (despite the fact that 70 degrees is declared as the maximum operating temperature). And if you think about it, it becomes clear why the disk is so hot: the radiator channels are directed horizontally, and the area of ​​the fins themselves is far from ideal. In my case, the RAM sticks blocked almost all the airflow that came from the front fans. Pretty sad story. But we live in an age where hot drives are the norm, so there are plenty of heatsinks on the market for these SSDs. It would seem - I bought a good radiator for 1000 and everything is ok. But Adata did their best for us, so the drive is glued to the heatsink from the back with super-strong glue. I spent 15 minutes and risked damage to the drive itself trying to get it out of the factory heatsink. As I understand it, the only justification for such an action is to keep the warranty sticker next to the disc, since it will be problematic and unreasonably difficult for an ordinary user to separate these two parts. Be that as it may, I managed to separate the disk intact, and with a new radiator it is 10-12 degrees colder than it was before. Separately, I note the InnoGrit controller, a rarely found controller in modern SSDs, however, according to tests, it has no weaknesses and, on average, even Samsung, WD and Corsair sometimes bypasses the hospital.
