Review: Zotac SONIX 480GB PCIe nVME SSD

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 03/24/2016 10:25 AM | source: | 6 comment(s)

Join us as we test the new Zotac SONIX PCI-Express SSD today, an nVME PCIe SSD. Let me just quickly throw some numbers at you that will get a smile on your face, so how does 2,600 MB/s maximum read and 1,300 MB/s write performance sound?

Read the full review here.

Thank you for the review Hilbert!

Looks like the Samsung 950 Pro M.2/MVME is missing from the Sisoft Sandra Drive Index Write MB/s table.

Excellent review Hilbert as always it was a great read. As a true Storage speed enthusiast myself i still drooling over this nVME SSD performance.

Nice review and a great product but i'm worried about storage sizes of modern SSD's.

I was looking at my steam account and some other games that are over 50gigs in size now.

A drive of only 480gigs will only hold a few games these days and you will probably start running into problems and more errors once this drive is more than 75% filled.

Once these PCIe drives start hitting 8Tbs then hopefully games will still be 20-50gigs.

Since games seem to be growing in size still at a rather incredibly fast rate then SSD's need to catch up on size and stop trying to break speed records and increase density/size.

It won't be long at this rate before some modern DX12 games may reach the 100gigs mark :(

GTA V for example is already 64.4 GB on my system and that's with 0 expansions so far. If it does get some then it may be the first game for me to reach that 100gigs.

I had a 372GB PCI-e SSD, but had to remove it when I went from a r9 295x2 to my 980ti sli setup. It was a real shame. Load times were basically non-existent.
