By pasting the heatsink, the components will be around 50 C and the promised write performance will reach 6.9 Gb / s. There it transcends MP600 Pro For example, from Corsair.
In a larger file array (64GB), this model’s significant thermal controls control performance, but this does not prevent it from being ahead of such direct competitors. Corsair MP600 Pro And MSI Spadium M480. Consecutively, we read an average of 4.2 GB / s and write 5.7 GB / s.
