Adata's XPG SX8200 takes the company's SSD speed crown

You could be forgiven for thinking that the Adata XPG SX8200 is a minor upgrade or revision of the prior XPG SX8000, and that it sits behind the XPG SX9000 in performance. You would be mistaken, though. The SX8200, which we first saw at CES this year, uses what Adata calls "second-generation 64-layer 3D NAND flash" in combination with an NVMe-1.3-ready controller from SMI to produce the company's fastest SSD to date.
