The new ADATA XPG GAMMIX S70 BLADE PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 2280 has huge sequential read speeds of up to 7400MB/sec (7.4GB/sec) and sequential reads of up to 6400MB/sec (6.4GB/sec) -- twice the speeds possible from the previous-gen PCIe 3.0 standard and an insane 15x the speed provided by SATA SSDs.

ADATA is making its new high-end XPG GAMMIX S70 BLADE PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 2280 SSD available in capacities of up to 2TB, with a large 5-year warranty on top. ADATA is using a slim temperature-resistant aluminum heat sink on the GAMMIX S70 BLADE SSD which "gets rid of heat effectively. So effective it can reduce temperatures by up to twenty percent. Plus, the heat sink looks cool too with its geometric ridges".

The company is also highlighting the security and integrity of the XPG GAMMIX S70 BLADE SSD, with ADATA explaining: "On top of its core performance characteristics, the S70 BLADE supports Low Density Parity Check Code (LDPC) error correcting code technology to detect and fix a comprehensive range of data errors for accurate data transmissions. Besides, with End-to-End (E2E) Data Protection, RAID Engine support, and AES 256-bit Encryption, the S70 BLADE ensures data security and integrity.With these error correcting and protection technologies, the S70 BLADE provides a high Total Bytes Written (TBW) rating for excellent durability and longevity".

ADATA's new XPG GAMMIX S70 BLADE PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 2280 SSD in 1TB will cost $199, while the 2TB model costs $399.
