Review on ๐Ÿ’พ XPG S40G 2TB RGB 3D NAND PCIe Gen3x4 NVMe 1.3 M.2 2280 SSD (AS40G-2TT-C) by Darrius Frison

Overall I'm happy with the fast drive (Aura Software Warning, see review)

Overall I'm happy with the fast drive. RBG is good but the white color on RBG is not very good. I installed this on an Asus Prime z390-a motherboard in the top M.2 slot and had no trouble installing. I had an issue with the ASUS Aura software slowing down the drive (see photo). It's easy to uninstall Aura and use XPG-rbg software to control the RBG, but you can't sync it with another Aura-controlled lighting pattern. I use static lighting so this is not a problem for me. For comparison, I've included the Sabrent 1TB Rocket reference, which is a slightly more expensive drive. DDR4 3200 - GTX 1080 - Corsair 850W PSU - Asus Prime z390-a Motherboard - XPG S40G RBG 1TB Main Drive - Sabrent 1TB Rocket 2nd Drive ------
