SSD M.2 480GB ADATA SX8200 NVMe

[minato]

Hello everyone! 

I was looking on UserBenchmark.com for the fastest/cheapest SSD for my new build and stumbled upon the XPG SX8200 from ADATA, 480GB version. 
http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Adata-XPG-SX8200-NVMe-PCIe-M2-480GB-vs-Samsung-970-Evo-NVMe-PCIe-M2-250GB/m482768vsm494033 
For 50€ more it has double the capacity and an higher average user bench score by 17%, but it's not so good in the 4k realm compared to Samsung.

 

But my question is this, with which motherboard is it compatible? 

PC Build wishlist:
- AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
- Nvidia GTX 1070-Ti
- Toshiba P300 3TB
- Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000 C15 2x8GB
- either Samsung 970 Evo NVMe PCIe M.2 250GB or Adata XPG SX8200 NVMe PCIe M.2 480GB

- Motherboard: ?????????

All motherboard that supports PCIe x4 or above in one of their M.2 slot will work with the Adata and Samsung drive. I prefer the SX8200 for its value.

Userbenchmark really isn't great for this.

 

What are you using the system for?

 

Really, go with a drive like a mx500 if your mianly gmaing, the nvme difference is tiny.

I planned to edit videos and photos, maybe even 4k at some point. What's your suggestion for this rig?

If you are editing Video then a large capacity high-end HDD might be a better value. Videos will fill up a TB pretty fast. I recommend a Datacenter grade HDD like a WD Red or RE because they are meant for large and frequent writes like recording videos and encoding them.

 

as for NVMe M.2 SSDs, in my opinion nothing can beat the value of a Mushkin Pilot

So Red is the best option for those kind of things? And what's RE? 

[RyokuHasu]

RE stand for Raid Edition, it's like a beefier RED with a longer life span and better performance, it can be a stand along drive and doesn't actually need to be in a raid despite it's name

 

Personally I use several  REs as my Steam and video Drives.

Can you give me an example which kind of those types of storages are good? Name and so..
