Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Bottom line up front, look elsewhere for an m.2 SSD for the following brief reasons (fully explained below with benchmarks): If you are looking for the best performance, or the best price-performance ratio look at other manufacturers; the SX8200 Pro has been changed and no longer performs as well as its reviews say it does. If you are looking for the cheapest SSD this one is far from it. If you are looking for an honest company, sadly you'll need to look elsewhere in this case. ADATA is participating in dishonest business practices, this product is NOT the same one that has been provided to reviewers over the last year or so. Specifically ADATA sent a FASTER SSD to online reviewers (with the SM2262EN controller) who then posted their faster performance times and positive reviews... but disturbingly ADATA is producing and selling slower SSDs with different cheaper, slower components (SM2262G controllers) to their customers without advising them of this change. I feel duped, and I don't want any of you to feel this way. My m.2 SSD arrived with the slower SM2262G controller, and its performance does not stand up to previous online reviews of this product. For an m.2 SSD of this type it is acceptable performance, but not at a its premium price. Additionally, dishonest business practices like this should not be supported. Multiple Amazon and other online review benchmarks back this information up, as do my own tests (pictures posted, Ryzen 3600XT w MSI B550 mobo, 16GB 3600/16 RAM). Shame on ADATA. I recommend Amazon remove their product unless they honestly post the change in SSD components and performance.
