ADATA XPG GAMMIX S11 PRO 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD Review

Final Thoughts

Pricing and Availability

At the time of this review, ADATA’s XPG GAMMIX S11 PRO with 1 TB capacity can be yours for £212.80 in the UK. In the US, the 1TB model is currently out of stock. The smaller 512GB is in stock which will cost you as little as $104.99. Those are more than fair prices for such a high-performing drive.

Final Thoughts

I liked the GAMMIX S11, but I love the GAMMIX S11 PRO. ADATA took the feedback they got from the S11 and improved the drive to be able to stand up against the tough competition in this field. We get great performance from the drive which in itself is a beautiful piece of tech.

The XPG GAMMIX S11 Pro is packed with the latest controller which in return provides the best in features. From End-to-End data protection over RAID Engine and LDPC ECC to DevSLP, the drive features it all. ADATA also added a DRAM cache buffer and SLC caching for that extra boost when it matters. All in all, it makes the XPG GAMMIX S11 Pro one of the best NVMe drives available.

Drive Design

The addition of a heatsink to the drive is great. NVMe drives tend to run hot and a heatsink like this can make all the difference. It can be the difference whether the drive suddenly throttles your performance or not. And that can cost you points or even lose a match when it happens at the wrong time.

While a lot of motherboards do come with a heatsink built into the design, it’s still a feature mostly found on the high-end boards. With this drive, you don’t need that. It is born with it.

Pros

• Great performance
• Latest in technology packed together
• Built-in heatsink
• And it’s also Great Looking
• Affordable, even in the 1TB version

Cons

• Can’t use the built-in heatsink as well as motherboard-provided heatsinks. Something to keep in mind.

“ADATA’s XPG GAMMIX S11 Pro is without a doubt one of the best NVMe drives on the market.”

We would like to thank ADATA for this sample.
