Is this a good SSD?

Go to solution Solved by ch3w2oy,

That's a good NVMe, comparable to the 970 EVO. I'm pretty sure that one can run pretty hot so just be careful where it's placed. They have some decent M2 heatsinks on Amazon if you find that it thermal throttles.

 

And size depends on what you need it for. I use a 500GB EVO for my OS and programs and use a regular SSD for all files/documents and games.

I am considering buying an XPG SX8200 Pro . Is this a good SSD? And which capacity should I take?

Yeah the product includes a heatsink and my mobo came with one. That thanks, now I am confident to buy :)
