Adata's XPG Gammix S70 is fast and features almost everything you could want from a high-end PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD, but the heatsink is a bit restrictive and not quite as refined as our current best picks...

We've had the XPG GAMMIX S70 2TB drive on the test bench for exactly 50 days now. Over the course of those 50 days we encountered some significant performance issues on the GAMMIX S70 NVMe SSD. The main one was a big deal – overall drive performance would...

The XPG Gammix S70 is treading a different path to a lot of the PCIe 4.0 drives we've reviewed recently. The majority of high speed drives have adopted the Phison controllers to bring us the blazing speeds that have dropped the jaw of everyone who has see...

There is much to like about the new XPG GAMMIX S70 NVMe M.2 SSD and that starts with the fact that we see a new company named Innogrit enter the SSD landscape. Quality SSD controller manufacturers are always a good thing. Add to that the fact that its per...
