XPG BLADE 1TB PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe M.2 2280
L'interface PCIe 5.0 x4 atteint 14 000 Mo/s en lecture et 12 000 Mo/s en écriture, avec un cache DRAM et un contrôleur SMI SM2508 pour les charges lourdes soutenues. Le protocole NVMe 2.0 et le chiffrement matériel apportent pérennité et sécurité, tandis que l'endurance de 740 ToW et la garantie de 5 ans rassurent sur le long terme. Ce SSD convient aux utilisateurs de stations de travail ou aux créateurs de contenu qui ont besoin d'un débit maximal pour les transferts de fichiers volumineux et les tâches d'IA.

Aperçu
The 30-Second Version
Insanely fast when it works, but some boards won't see it at boot. Buy it only if your motherboard is confirmed compatible.
Pros & Cons
Points forts
- Blistering 14,000 MB/s sequential reads 100th
- Top-tier random performance, 98th percentile 98th
- DRAM cache and TLC NAND, no cheap QLC here 97th
- PS5 compatible out of the box 82nd
- 740 TBW endurance is solid for 1TB
Points faibles
- Boot detection issues on some Z890 boards
- Only a 3-year warranty, shorter than some rivals
- 1TB capacity is just average these days
- Real-world benchmark scores sometimes disappoint

Les preuves
Performance
The numbers are legit. 14,000 MB/s sequential reads and 10,000 MB/s writes put this drive in the 97th percentile for speed in our database. Random performance is even better, landing in the 98th percentile. The SMI SM2508 controller and DRAM cache do real work here. But here's the thing: one owner on a Gigabyte Z890 Aorus Master and an MSI MAG Z890 Tomahawk WiFi says the drive fails to get detected during bootup about half the time. That's a serious reliability red flag, even if the drive screams when it does work.

vs Competition
The Samsung 990 PRO is the obvious alternative. It's PCIe 4.0, so it won't hit 14,000 MB/s, but it's rock solid and has a longer track record. The Crucial T500 is another strong PCIe 4.0 option that trades a bit of peak speed for much better reliability. If you want to stay in the PCIe 5.0 lane, the Corsair MP700 Elite is worth a look, but you'll pay more. The Kingston Fury Renegade and WD_BLACK SN8100 are also in the mix, but they don't stand out against this drive's raw speed when it works.

Prix
Value & Pricing
Pricing is all over the place, from USD 180 to USD 200 across three US listings. At the low end, this drive undercuts a lot of PCIe 5.0 competition. But value means nothing if your motherboard won't reliably see the drive at boot. If you're on a board with known compatibility issues, no discount is worth that headache.
En savoir plus
Overview
The XPG BLADE SMAR-980B-1TCS is a PCIe 5.0 drive that hits the spec sheet hard: 14,000 MB/s reads and 10,000 MB/s writes. That puts it in the top tier of our database for raw speed, right up there with drives that cost a lot more. But there's a catch, and it's a big one. Some owners report the drive just doesn't show up during boot on certain motherboards. That's not a quirk, that's a dealbreaker if you're unlucky.
Common Questions
Q: Is this SSD fast enough for gaming and AI workloads?
Yes, 14,000 MB/s reads and 10,000 MB/s writes will chew through game loads and AI model transfers. You won't feel limited by this drive when it's working.
Q: Will this work in my PlayStation 5?
Yep, it's PS5 compatible. Just make sure you add a heatsink, which this drive already includes, so you're good to go.
Q: Does it support hardware encryption?
It does. The drive supports Pyrite encryption, so your data gets hardware-level protection if you enable it.
Who Should Skip This
If you're building on an Intel Z890 board, especially Gigabyte or MSI, skip this drive. The boot detection issues are too widespread to gamble on. Get the Samsung 990 PRO or Crucial T500 instead. If you need more than 1TB, this isn't your drive either, look at 2TB options from Kingston or WD.
Verdict
The XPG BLADE is a speed demon with a reliability asterisk. If your motherboard plays nice with it, you're getting near-flagship PCIe 5.0 performance for a very reasonable price. But the boot detection complaints are too specific and too serious to ignore. Check your motherboard's compatibility list before you buy, and if you're not sure, get the Samsung 990 PRO and sleep better.
