Question XPG SX8200 Pro Vs Silicon Power P32A80

[yusheng2000]

I don't know which to choose...
By comparing both 1TB,
XPG SX8200 Pro = $203 , SP P32A80 = $145.
R/W XPG = 3500/3000 , SP = 3200/3000
I don't know which is better for performance (not considering R/W speed as both similar), durability and quality. Any experienced or who are using these M.2 ssd, I need some advice.
Thanks~

Dont know about sp much but I am using the sx8200 pro it sure is fast boots my windows within mere seconds extraction of files is also very fast

I do know that XPG SX8200 Pro runs so well with does crazy R?W speed at low price, still a gaming ssd. It's my target to buy for months, but recently i found this SP P32A80 with lower price and high R/W speed which can compare with XPG so I try to ask for more info about SP P32A80 to think which to buy

* Equipped with the latest PCIe Gen 3x2 Interface for accelerated read/write speeds of up to 1,600/1,000 MB/s,

You have the wrong speeds for the SP

If you are looking just for gaming get a small space m.2 for windows and a larger space ssd that can hold your games the performance 1wouldnt be notoceably different and your windows will also boot entirely fast as the purpose for m.2 is

I just want to find a better choice on budget and best value ssd, because this may be my last upgrade on my laptop to have a better performance and get smoother on windows and other heavy software. As I found this SP ssd recently with that low cost, so I wonder if it's a good ssd.

What you found is a P34 and not the P32 that you inquired about.

Ohhh! I had written the wrong one sorry about that, but what do you think on this thing? both of them are having 5 year warranty

Intel's 660P 1 TB is currently $109 or so... By comparison, the 970 EVO PLus 1 TB is $247....

Does it have the 3200/3400 MB/sec numbers to brag about? No, it's but a PCI-E X2 lanes at 'only' 1600-1700 MB/sec writes....

WIll you be able to tell the difference outside of CrystalDiskMark? Doubtful..

Neither of those are good and not worth the price you’re better off with Samsung or Crucial

You should also consider what you need to do to get warranty service on the drive.
For example - Would you have to send it out of country at your own expense?

 

[yusheng2000]

Samsung and Crucial are both expensive and out of my budget especially for Samsung, twice more expensive than these two. Both of them are having 5 year warranty which I can choose to send back the supplying shops to claim my warranty.
