Review on πŸ’Ύ XPG S40G 2TB RGB 3D NAND PCIe Gen3x4 NVMe 1.3 M.2 2280 SSD (AS40G-2TT-C) by Andrew Arneson

Very fast! in internal SSDs

Freshly installed windows on this drive. Everything worked perfectly. Very fast loading. The RGB colors are pretty vibrant. I can't see much of a difference between the brightness of my other peripherals and his. So no complaints here. It also syncs with my ASRock motherboard and polychrome software. (Now if only the polychrome software were stable!) One thing to note about this drive is that the RGB heatsink on top roughly triples the overall thickness of the drive. If you have the same motherboard as me, the extra thickness might be an issue. Some motherboards have a protective plate covering the M2 slots. This particular card does not fit under this plate. I hadn't thought of that and I haven't seen any reviews addressing this issue. Luckily my motherboard has an extra M2 slot that is not under the plate and it worked. My system specs: OS - Windows 10 motherboard - ASRock B550M Steel LegendCPU - AMD Ryzen 5 3600RAM - GSkill Tridentz 16GBGPU - ASRock RX 5700 XT TaichiStorage - 500GB M2, 250GB SSD, (2) 1TB HDD
