One of the latest additions to ADATA's line of solid state drives is the XPG GAMMIX S70. Designed with avid gamers, overclockers and PC enthusiasts in mind, this M.2 form factor drive is powered by Innogrit's new Rainier (IG5236) controller and is available with up to 2TB of 3D TLC NAND flash. The GAMMIX S70 also utilizes dynamic SLC caching and a DRAM cache buffer to improve read and write performance as well as Low-Density Parity Check (LDPC) code technology, End-To-End (E2E) data protection, a RAID engine and AES 256-bit encryption to ensure data security and integrity. To top it all off, the GAMMIX S70 is equipped with an aluminum CoolArmor heat spreader as well as an ultra-fast PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe 1.4 interface to deliver up to 7,400 MB/s read and 6,400 MB/s write speeds.

The XPG GAMMIX S70 is available in 1TB and 2TB capacities. For this review, ADATA sent us the 1TB version of the drive which is capable of delivering up to 7,400 MB/s sequential read and 5,500 MB/s sequential write speeds as well as up to 350,000 random read and 720,000 random write IOPS.

Needless to say, this is only a taste of what the XPG GAMMIX S70 has to offer.
