The product page claimed that the 240GB’s performance on ATTO is up to 560MB/s for read speed and 460MB/s for write and that’s exactly what is seen in the benchmark.

The Verdict

The ADATA XPG SX930 SSD is a solid performer, it comes with 5-year warranty and it is available in capacities of 120GB ($64.99), 240GB ($109.99), and 480GB ($199.99)

Note that the 480GB capacity variant has a slightly lower read and write speed but it’s still plenty fast for the gamers and overclockers of which this SSD was designed for.
