XPG Spectrix S40G RGB NVMe SSD installation, setup and benchmarks
358This is a video on the XPG Spectrix S40G RGB NVMe SSD, showing you how to install the drive both in terms of hardware, installation in Windows and RGB control with the software. I also benchmarked it with Crystal Mark.
This drive was used as part of two builds I did recently, including one in the Corsair 7000D Airflow: https://youtu.be/p49ICiMoiLo
Is your M.2 NVMe port slower than you realise? Not all M.2 ports give equal speeds https://youtu.be/QDAjO-RtbuQ
This is an affordable drive that offers read/write speeds of upto 3500/3000MBs per second. It works with AMD and Intel but is obviously a gen 3 drive.
