Awesome!

@@KevinShroff can it work with hackintosh?

The same site where you download more RAM

The same site where you download nividia graphics cards

Avg read 1600mbps and write 1000mbps

hows your experience??

Same question

Can be used in both laptops or desktops, as long as you have the supporting technology (an M.2 slot that supports NVMe drives)

Thank you for the feedback, I will keep this in mind for future reviews.

Look at syscl's instructions on his Github! It auto-configures the 9350 for macOS.

github.com/syscl/XPS9350-macOS

It is an NVME drive with the M.2 connector, the slot is M.2.

Specs of your mb?

@@I3raveheart23 1

Does the ASUS FX504GE have an M.2 slot? It seems like there are various configurations of that laptop so you will need to check, but based off this specifications sheet it does seem like the ASUS FX504GE supports M.2 PCIe SSD's including the Kingston A1000 www.asus.com/Laptops/ASUS-TUF-Gaming-FX504/specifications/

@@KevinShroff I ve seen Nvme configuration option in bios. But I was wondering if a1000 with that sata m.2 connector will work on an nvme m.2

yeah son... its not PCIe, its m.2

Thank you so much 😀

No it is not. It is an entry-level PCIe NVMe, which uses only 2 pcie lanes.

@@fedotov79 that's Interesting so it means, now physically connectors are same for both M.2 Sata SSD and M.2 pcie nVME. Since boards are mostly with nVME connectors i.e. 2 lanes. That's something weird they did with this connector ambiguity.

@@faisalhaider007 I mean the M.2 connector has always been capable of accepting SATA SSDs in M.2 form factor and NVMe. M.2 is just the form factor and connector, NVMe PCIe and SATA are the SSD technologies

@@KevinShroff yeah thanks for clearing. M.2/2.5 SATA SSDs can only go up to 600mb/s. While nVME pcie SSDs shoot up to 4000mb/s, right? Once again thanks. Only thing that literally confused me, those notches, since nVME SSDs come with two and Sata with three, now even In Sata connector we can have nVME. 😀

Haha yes, the naming and standard conventions of SSD's can be quite confusing, especially when one term implies (or seems to imply, but doesn't actually imply) the other. Yes, those figures are correct - the SATA SSDs can reach upto ~600mb/s whereas NVMe SSD's can reach upto ~4000mb/s (for now). NVMe SSD's use PCIe lanes so they are magnitudes faster than their SATA counterparts.

I know thats what the keys seem to imply, but the Kingston A1000 is definitely an NVMe drive considering that it is sold everywhere as an NVMe PCIe SSD and also behaves exactly as such with nothing other than the key contradicting this.

The Adata XPG Gammix S11 does NOT cost "a mere 10 bucks more" - currently in Canada the Kingston A1000 480GB is priced at $125 CAD whereas the Adata XPG Gammix S11 which you refer to is $241 CAD. That is quite a significant price difference and more than justifies any performance gap between the two. On the other hand, if you go with the XPG SX8200, you are paying 18.18% more than the Kingston A1000 for 39.89% more theoretical performance. Whether you will actually benefit from this increase is up to the user to decide, and factor in whether the price increase still makes it worth it (in my experience NVMe SSD's by nature are inherently very very fast so the average user would not detect any difference in real-world usage, and thus they opt for the cheaper option as the speed increase is imperceptible outside of benchmarks, and the lower price is more attractive). Nevertheless it is reasonable to assume that many customers may opt for the slightly pricier but faster XPG SX8200, however along the same lines of reasoning, considering that both devices aim at the budget NVMe market, another more budget-constricted customer may opt for the cheaper Kingston A1000. Keep in mind that prices change all the time for these SSDs, and there are often discounts which may tip the comparison more in favor of a particular SSD. Additionally, what SATA SSDs are you referring to that come close to the NVMe Kingston A1000? SATA3 SSD's are limited to maximum transfer rates of upto ~600 MB/s, which is a far cry from what any NVMe SSD can achieve. Can you find and show me a SATA3 SSD that has a higher or equivalent AS SSD Benchmark overall score to the NVMe Kingston A1000?

A2000 wasn't out when this video was made :)

It is PCIe what are you talking about?
