XPG GAMMIX S70 Blade | 2000 GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD

The XPG GAMMIX S70 Blade M.2 2000 GB PCI Express 4.0 3D NAND NVMe is engineered for UK PC builders who need high-capacity storage. This drive targets gamers and creative professionals requiring fast load times. It delivers sequential read speeds up to 7400 MB/s. Because it uses the PCIe 4.0 interface, it offers a significant upgrade over older SATA or PCIe 3.0 drives. The drive is also backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 motherboards.

XPG GAMMIX S70 Blade M.2 2000 GB PCI Express 4.0 3D NAND NVMe Specifications

High-Speed PCIe 4.0 Performance

This SSD utilises the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface to maximise bandwidth. With read speeds of 7400 MB/s and write speeds of 6400 MB/s, it handles large file transfers efficiently. The Innogrit IG5236 controller manages these speeds reliably. In practice, this reduces game load times and speeds up video rendering workflows.

Optimised Thermal Management

The drive features a robust aluminium heatsink designed for high-temperature resistance. According to the manufacturer, this design reduces operating temperatures by up to 20 percent. Because thermal throttling can slow down performance, this cooling solution helps maintain consistent speeds during heavy use. The heatsink also features a streamlined geometric design.

Compact M.2 Form Factor

Featuring the M.2 2280 form factor, this drive fits into modern desktops and laptops. It is suitable for compact builds where space is limited. However, you should verify physical clearance inside your specific PC case or laptop chassis. The drive weighs only 10 g, making it a lightweight storage upgrade.

Data Integrity and Security

The XPG GAMMIX S70 Blade includes LDPC error-correcting code technology. This helps detect and fix data errors for accurate transmissions. Additionally, it supports End-to-End (E2E) Data Protection and RAID Engine support. For security, the drive features 256-bit AES hardware encryption to protect your data.
