The SX8200 Pro M.2 2280 SSD is XPG’s fastest SSD to date, designed for avid PC enthusiasts, gamers, and overclockers. It features an ultra-fast PCIe Gen3x4 interface that offers sustained peak read/write speeds of 3500/3000MB per second, significantly outpacing SATA 6Gb/s. Supporting NVMe 1.3, the SX8200 Pro delivers excellent random read/write performance and multitasking capabilities. With SLC caching, a DRAM cache buffer, end-to-end data protection, and LDPC ECC, it maintains high speeds and data integrity, even during highly intensive applications such as gaming, rendering, and overclocking. In pursuit of higher performance, the SX8200 Pro utilizes intelligent SLC caching and a DRAM cache buffer to accelerate sequential and 4K random read/write speeds, shortening system response time and making it especially suitable for multimedia editing and gaming. Built with 3D NAND Flash, the SX8200 Pro comes in capacities of up to 2TB, offering higher efficiency and greater reliability than 2D SSDs. Thanks to the support of data protection technologies, it features a high TBW and excellent durability to meet the demands of various applications. The SX8200 Pro supports LDPC (Low-Density Parity-Check) error correcting code technology to detect and fix a wider range of data errors, ensuring more accurate data transfers and a longer SSD lifespan. Supporting end-to-end data protection and RAID engine, the SX8200 Pro ensures data safety, integrity, and delivers an extended lifespan. The SX8200 Pro box includes a sleek black XPG heatsink with pre-applied thermal compound for easy DIY installation. With or without the heatsink, the choice is yours, as the SX6000 looks great in builds either way.
