- Got a PS5 and need more capacity? The GAMMIX S70 BLADE is your answer. Plug one into your PS5 and enjoy better, smoother performance over the built-in storage.
* According to the announcement from Sony Interactive Entertainment Co., Ltd., even if the continuous reading and writing speed is higher than the official standard, not all in-game performance features will match the built-in solid state drive of the PS5 console.
**Under the operating environment of the PS5, the sequential read speed of both 1TB and 2TB models measured at 6100MB/s.
- With the latest PCIe Gen4 interface, the GAMMIX S70 BLADE will help you dominate the competition with sequential read/write performance of up to 7400/6800/MB per second.
- That's up to two times faster than PCIe 3.0 SSDs! For ease of use, it's backward compatible with PCIe 3.0.
- Sporting a robust high-temperature resistant aluminum heatsink, the GAMMIX S70 BLADE gets rid of heat effectively.
- So effective in fact it is able to reduce temperatures by up to 20 percent.
- Plus, the heatsink looks amazing too with its streamlined surface and ridged geometric lines.
- Featuring a M.2 2280 form factor, the GAMMIX S70 BLADE is perfect for laptops and thinner devices, giving you the performance you need regardless of space constraints.
- Compliant with NVMe 1.4
- Higher capacities and enhanced efficiency and durability with 3D NAND Flash
- M.2 2280 specification: supports the latest generation PCIe 4.0 platform
- Perfect for avid gamers, overclockers, and PC enthusiasts
- In combination with Dynamic SLC Caching and DRAM Cache Buffer, the GAMMIX S70 BLADE gives you a performance boost for video editing, rendering, and gaming.
- On top of its core performance characteristics, the S70 BLADE supports LDPC error correcting code technology to detect and fix a comprehensive range of data errors for accurate data transmissions.
- In addition, with End-to-End (E2E) Data Protection, RAID Engine support, and AES 256-bit Encryption, the S70 BLADE ensures data security and integrity.

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: The S70 was installed as an OS drive on my machine Ryzen 5600x paired with a massive CPU air cooler on ASRock B550 mobo without removing any of the components. Just removed the ASRock m.2 armor shield and dropped this drive in and screw in a tiniest screw which btw came with my board. There is zero clearance issue with the S70 heatsink so called 'massive' like some reviewers claim. XPG S70 2TB is the fastest Gen 4 ssd. Take a look at my CrystalDiskMark benchmark and then check the other Gen 4 ssd reviews and see it for yourself.
Cons: A little pricey, if not in a hurry wait for sale. It seems the heatsink is somewhat hard to remove but I don't plan on removing it. It fits great with B550 SL mobo.
Overall Review: This Gen 4 ssd didn't disappoint. Get the 2TB SSD for maximum R/W and longevity. The firmware it came with is 3.2.F.P7 and it does NOT need to be updated. You can try the lastest field update tool to check. It won't brick the drive. ADATA got a lot of flack for swapping the controller earlier this year, but fear not the XPG S70 controller they are using an InnoGrit IG5236 controller and Micron 96L is safe.
