Product Description
Fast, efficient, and equipped with plenty of storage, these XPG GAMMIX S11 PCIe M.2 SSD drives have been optimized for the most intense gaming, rendering, overclocking, and demanding applications. The PCIe Gen3x4 interface allows for read/write speeds of 3,200 MB/s and 1,700 MB/s, while 64-layer 3D NAND flash technology means the drive can process more quickly and reliably than planar NAND drives Read More
so specs are more like 2700 read 1500 write. Not bad. But not quite what the description implies.
I'll stick to Samsung and Intel optane for now. More boring looking but better performance.

Wow, really Massdrop? Do you even check the stuff you're putting online and it's description before just copying and pasting (or whatever) the commercial words?
Seems this is aimed towards the unknowledgable and not enthusiats.
That's why you read the description first, folks: "The PCIe Gen3x4 interface allows for read/write speeds of 3,200 MB/s and 1,700 MB/s [...]".
Much like I am allowed to be the Supreme Leader of the Universe, but well, I'm not.
Turns out that AnandTech recently did a review of the unit, assuming it's the same thing: https://www.anandtech.com/show/13112/the-adata-sx8200-gammix-s11-nvme-ssd-review
Oh and as DimaG notes....those speeds are for a PCIe M.2 slot; not all boards support PCIe SSDs.
Check your manuals! many msata slots support M.2 at sata6 speed only. Which would mean you get 6gbps read and write....
Specifically, I'm interested in the 250GB version, and this drop is a better value than the current price of the Mushkin Pilot, and this SSD has better performance.
i can’t post a link for some reason from my phone but its listed as the XPG SX8200. I didn’t compare the specs that much, but it has the read and write times. It’s not on sale anymore, though. The Gammix thing sounds like a marketing gimic, but once again, I didn’t compare specs and didn’t look into that much.
You can't trust "userbenchmark" when you're looking at bechmarks for PCIe M.2 drives because kids buy these things and don't even realize their board only supports legacy SATA M.2. Resulting in significantly reduced read and write speeds.
This is the same drive as the XPG SX8200 but with a fancy looking heatsink.
