Review on XPG GAMMIX S11 Pro 512GB M.2 SSD AGAMMIXS11P-512GT-C by Michal Adach ᠌

ADATA, which previously produced everything so mid-budget, at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th, simply exploded with several lines of very successful SSD models, jumping sharply into the group of leaders. But the price for these models, although it was lower than the leaders, but not so much as to discourage the desire to overpay for the old, well-known brand. However, by the middle of the year, the merits of S11, in my eyes, increased greatly after the publication of the first results of resource tests of various SSD models, where they performed very well, while some models of respected manufacturers fell out of the race. That's when I laid eyes on this GAMMIX S11. And finished off the decision to "take" - the price, which fell at the end of the year by one and a half times, from starting ~ 8500 to ~ 5500. It turns out a very worthy NVME drive for the price of a good SATA. I don’t have puppyish enthusiasm about speed, because I switched to it not from the HDD, but from a quite decent SATA3 SSD. The speed of operation of interfaces and programs has probably increased by some milliseconds, but this cannot be measured without special equipment. I changed for the sake of high speed writing / reading large blocks - you need to save / play small fragments of uncompressed 4K video. While working with HD, SATA-3 was also enough, but the 4K stream simply does not crawl through this interface. For a home computer, I don’t think it’s worth upgrading from an existing SATA SSD, for the sake of saving one second on loading the system / game, but when choosing a new SSD, now only NVME. In the application, speed tests of this Gammix S11 and a regular SATA-III SSD, with a once excellent speed, but, by today's standards, fall into the "budget" category. M2 drives without PCI-E are also limited to ~500MBps by the same SATA interface. To install NVME on the Seven, you will need to install patches KB2990941 and KB3087873, which have already been closed for download, but are lying around on the Internet. Install, identify the disk in the system, and then transfer the image. With the eight and ten problems should not be.
