ADATA/XPG drives are strong on price, but the brand is remembered for changing parts in the SX8200 Pro after it had been reviewed. Current higher-end models are good; buy the budget ones as bulk storage only.

Good at

  • Legend and Gammix drives are often very cheap
  • Gammix S70 Blade was a fast PCIe 4.0 drive
  • Five-year warranty on higher-end models

Weak at

  • SX8200 Pro swapped controller/NAND after reviews (2020)
  • Budget Legend models vary in parts and endurance
  • Warranty handled mainly through distributors
