Question choosing between these SSDs

[LaNtErN195]

so I'm about to buy a 256 GB NVMe SSD and I narrowed it down to this 2 option



Adata XPG SX6000 Pro 256GB



Adata XPG GAMMIX S5 256GB



everything about them is identical



based on Adata's own spec sheet

everything from random read and write-seq. read and write-CDM (QD32) seq. read and write-4k random read and write IOPS are identical

even both rated for 150 TB write


The price of both of them is identical where I live



my motherboard has a gen 3 NVMe slot with 2 lanes so the max link is 2 GB per second at best



this is gonna be my boot drive and also I am putting 2 games on it

cyberpunk 2077 and either Control or Division 2 because they all are sensitive to speed

which one should I choose??

it's driving me crazy

sorry for my English

for the same money i'd grab the "gaming" model for the built in heatsink. seems to be the only real difference i can see.

the sx6000pro spec sheet said it uses 2nnd generation NAND flash but the gammix s5 doesn't say this
I know it is not something that the average user might get affected by or even realizing it but is it something that I should keep an eye on?

Performance wise, you'll see ZERO difference between the two.

Reliability wise...I wouldn't choose ADATA at all.

if you had no other option
which one would you paid for?

Flip a coin. Or whichever has the longest warranty.

But why no other options?

they both come with a 5-year warranty
because there are the only good ones in my region that are legit and comes from a verified seller and other SSDs price is ridiculous( if there legit and not used)

Flip a coin.
Or whichever one has the proper color scheme to match your other stuff.
Or whichever you can get the fastest.

so i reckon brands like Adata, Transcend, Lexar, Klevv are to be avoided ?
