- That's up to eight times faster than a SATA SSD. What's more, it's backward compatible with PCIe 3.0.
- The GAMMIX S50 Lite uses Dynamic SLC Caching and DRAM Cache Buffer to achieve random read/write speeds of up to 490K/540K IOPS.
- Whether it's video editing, animation, or gaming, this SSD has you covered!
- Compatible with NVMe 1.4
- A new leap forward in capacity, efficiency, and durability with next-gen 3D NAND Flash memory
- M.2 2280 specifications: supports PCIe 4.0
- Ideal for gamers, overclockers, and PC enthusiasts
- Sporting a robust high-temperature resistant aluminum heatsink, the GAMMIX S50 Lite gets rid of heat effectively. So effective in fact it is able to reduce temperatures by up to 20 percent1. Plus, the heatsink looks amazing too with its streamlined surface and ridged geometric lines.
- 1Test system configuration : M/B MSI X570-A PRO, test program: IO meter 2010.05.26, OS : Windows 10 1909
- The GAMMIX S50 Lite supports Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) code technology to detect and fix a comprehensive range of data errors for accurate data transfers.
- In addition, with End-to-End (E2E) Data Protection, RAID Engine support, and AES 256-bit Encryption, the S50 Lite ensures your data is always safe.
- Equipped with 3D NAND Flash memory, the GAMMIX S50 Lite comes with higher capacities, up to 2TB, to store more games or files.
- What's more, an array of data protection and correction technologies ramp up its Total Bytes Written (TBW) rating for enhanced durability and a longer product lifespan.

Q: How do I know if my PC can support PCIe Gen4 SSDs?
A: Firstly, check the make and specifications of your motherboard on the manufacturers website to see if it has M.2 slots that support PCIe 4x4. If there are two M.2 PCIe 4x4 slots, you can use the direct link to the CPU terminal (center Processor) M.2 socket for better performance.
Q: If my computer only supports PCIe Gen3, can it still work with a PCIe Gen4 SSD?
A: PCs that do not support PCIe Gen4 SSDs can still use the said SSDs. However, the SSDs performance will be limited to PCIe Gen3 levels.
Q: Do I need to install a driver to use my SSD?
A: ADATA SSDs can use standard drivers, which can be applied to different operating systems; at the same time, users can also install the drivers officially provided by the motherboard manufacturers.

Pros: - It was immediately recognized as a PCIe4 drive by my X570 mobo. - Reading/writing speeds similar of what is advertised: 3300/3200 MB/s. - The difference from my old SSD is noticeable; Win10 was installed in 5 minutes and everything is faster (games loading included). -The included heatsink is a plus and helps with temperatures (always below 50C).
Cons: - Nothing so far (used for 4 months).
Overall Review: - Nice update from a standard SSD. Not one of the fastest PCIe4 NVMe on the market but the value for money is good.
