ADATA XPG GAMMIX S70 BLADE 2 TB (AGAMMIXS70B-2T-CS)
2 TB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe drive, cataloged by the retail MPN. The BLADE is a distinct thin-profile S70 variant; its passive graphene heat spreader is not equivalent to a motherboard heatsink. Performance values are manufacturer-rated maxima, not independent test results.
IDENTIFICATION: Verify the complete MPN, regional suffix, serial/date code and firmware from the drive label. Capacity variants, hardware revisions and cooling bundles can differ; the specifications below are for GAMMIX S70 BLADE 2 TB where the cited manufacturer documentation identifies them.
Manufacturer-identified specifications
| Product / MPN | ADATA XPG GAMMIX S70 BLADE 2 TB (AGAMMIXS70B-2T-CS); manufacturer code AGAMMIXS70B-2T-CS. |
|---|---|
| Capacity / form factor | 2 TB; M.2 2280 (22 × 80 mm), single module. Confirm sidedness and surrounding component clearance from the exact revision. |
| Interface / lane width | PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe; link speed is host-negotiated and can be lower on older hardware. |
| Protocol / flash | NVMe over PCI Express; manufacturer identifies this product as a client M.2 SSD. Use the exact product document for protocol revision, NAND and any DRAM/HMB details. |
| Rated sequential performance | up to 7,400 MB/s read and 6,800 MB/s write. Ratings depend on capacity, firmware, workload and the test conditions published by the manufacturer. |
| Endurance / warranty | Use the current capacity-specific XPG datasheet and the drive label to confirm TBW and warranty limits; silicon/firmware revisions can differ. |
| Model generation / thermal package | 2021 product generation. M.2 2280 module with low-profile heat-spreader sheet; check package and exact revision before planning laptop or console fit. |
Compatibility, installation & service
- Confirm M.2 2280 support and PCIe x4 lane allocation. The bundled thin spreader and a motherboard thermal pad may compete for contact or height; follow the board and drive instructions rather than stacking thermal materials blindly. Check the exact controller/firmware revision and XPG endurance/warranty terms before sustained-write deployment.
- Read the motherboard or laptop service manual to check socket keying, supported protocol, PCIe generation/lane count, shared SATA/PCIe lanes, BIOS boot support, standoff position, module sidedness and cover clearance. M.2 is a form factor, not proof that a socket supports NVMe.
- Back up data and retain recovery media and encryption keys before replacement or firmware service. Use only the manufacturer utility/firmware intended for the exact model and capacity; confirm power and system stability during updates.
- Follow the host’s service procedure, shut down and disconnect standby power when instructed, and use electrostatic-discharge precautions. Do not hot-plug a client M.2 SSD unless the platform manual explicitly supports it.
- Monitor SMART health and temperature during sustained transfers. High burst benchmarks do not predict sustained writes, thermals, or service life; keep independent backups regardless of the TBW rating.
