ADATA Spectrix S40G 512GB NVMe M.2 SSD review - Specifications & Features

Specifications & Features

XPG SPECTRIX S40G RGB PCIe Gen3x4 M. 2 2280 Solid State Drive -  You know it, no RGB is no a go these days. So why not fit some RGB on an M2 SSD eh? Well, ADATA has a first. Meet the Spectrix S40G RGB SSD. RGB or not, it is no slouch with read and write speeds of 3500 and 3000 MB per second.

The S40G from Adata supports the NVMe standard and uses a Pcie x4 interface to achieve the aforementioned speeds. Thanks to the m.2 2280 format, the storage medium can be used in conjunction with many motherboards. The S40G supports the NVMe standard and utilizes the high-speed PCIe Gen3 x4 interface to let users enjoy sustained read/write speeds of up to 3500/3000 MB per second. Also with the M.2 2280 specification, it supports the latest Intel and AMD platforms. These capabilities make the S40G ideally suited for gamers, PC enthusiasts, overclockers, and graphics professionals. User can customize the SSD's look with programmable RGB lighting effects. They can set up patterns, pulse speed, lighting intensity, and more.

Control is a snap with XPG's RGB control software. In Pursuit of Efficiency, The S40G supports LDPC (Low-Density Parity-Check) error correcting code technology to detect and fix a wider range of data errors for more accurate data transfers and a longer SSD lifespan. In addition, with AES 256-bit encryption, the S40Gensures data security and integrity. Every component on the S40G has passed meticulous screening, testing, and certification. The product is backed by a 5-year warranty.

Realtek RTS5762 controller

The NAND ICs are driven by a Realtek RTS5762 controller. The RTS5762  makes use of the NVMe revision 1.3 protocol and as you have been able to notice from the SSD specifications, this controller is advertised at a very fast ~3500 MB/s (depending on volume size) across four PCIe lanes for read and write operations respectively, over a x4 PCIe Gen 3 lane connection that is. The controller can address 8 channels. It is also ready for QLC and upcoming 96-layer NAND as well as SLC, MLC, TLC and QLC NAND.
