Hello new here, I was thinking about buying an m.2 for my PC, and I saw a discount for the Adata XPG SX8200 Pro and I was thinking about getting one, but I am curious about its stability for daily usage in the long run, since I heard its degrading fast, if it is, how fast is it? Is it unnoticable without benchmarking?

Hey.
Welcome to the forum.
ADATA is a budget friendly brand. They are using generally cheaper parts so they can sell generally cheaper products. That is where most of the issues come from. Many people buy the cheapest ADATA products and they are almost literally held together with wishes and good will.
SX8200Pro is one of their top tier high end product lines. You get 5 years warranty on that thing. At least that’s what mine says.
I am running 256GB drive as a boot drive. W10, drivers, software like browsers and Vegas and OBS - all on the drive… I can run a benchmark, but in general it always passing 3.2GB read and honestly you don’t really need anything else. W10 loading is less than 10s. The way I am using mine it does not go over 60C, and there is a cooler, that comes with the drive that I have not used, it just sits in the box.
I have it for about an year now and I don’t really have any issues with it.
I honestly can’t say what will happen in 2 years time…
For what is worth - I am happy with 8200Pro.
But on the other hand I am kinda ADATA fan, so make of that what you will.
I see, thanks for the reply, your info is good enough for me, since I mostly only gonna be either watching youtube or playing some games on my time off from work, I dont think its gonna be noticable in the long run, thanks alot.

I’ve had the 2TB SX8200 Pro for 9 months. No problems here. There were two models I was looking at the time that were clear leaders in price/performance. The high end Samsung stuff was a little bit faster but WAY more expensive. I don’t recall what the other model was I was looking at.
I see, thanks for the reply tho, I was scared to get it at first because of the price diffrence, since my local shop only has samsung evo and this 1, atleast now my mind is clear about getting it, thanks again for the help.
“Budget friendly”… more like terrible. I’ve worked in a repair shop for a short while and Adata and Transcend SSDs stood out with their failure rate. People buy them because they’re cheap, then they overheat or the controller fails and they buy another one… smh, that’s the price of a new Samsung. Good for the repair shop business, though. I’d take older Samsung and Crucial over the best Adata or Transcend.
