Dang $200 off regular price and its sold directly from Manufacture..... I am building a brand new build but my CPU and GPU will not be in till next year, wanted to pair the main drive with a PCIe 4.0 NVME and use an SSD for my games, but this might be the best idea for both performance and storage, I dont think I seen an NVME with 4TB this low ever... I wonder what the odds are of it coming down further in price in Jan/Feb of next year.

Normal retail is 599 on Amazon and $499 Newegg.
Reviews seem mixed.

Odds are that price will go down. Not sure how long your willing to wait or how much you really need that much fast storage.

Eventually they will all fall in price but we are talking a bigger drop than $200 in under 3 months. Unless this drive has major issues, have not checked reviews yet, I think its less likely. Its definitely a lot of fast storage though.

Doesn't seem like the best RAM, but it's a surprisingly low price. If anyone has only a single slot in their laptop and needs the storage, then this seems reasonable presuming it's alright quality.

Ram.... Lol don't worry u can always download more

I believe I have the same one but it's 1TB. I don't like the RGB on it, it's not very even and you can see individual LEDs in it but it is plenty fast.

Personally, I wouldn't trust ADATA after they pulled the controller bait and switch on the 8200 pro

I have the 1TB version of this drive from last thanksgiving day sale ($70 at amazon).
The speeds were great at first, with 3500 Mbps read and almost 3000 Mbps write, but as drive fills up it doesn't seem to perform the same. I ran TRIM etc., but still.

My biggest gripe with it the stupid bright RGB, which just defaults to color wave pattern and my MSI B450 Gaming Carbon AC motherboard can't seem to control it at all. Used to work until the pos Mystic Light software stopped recognizing it, and XPG's own software can't control either.

Another big negative is the drive temperature when under load. Every time I play warzone installed on this drive, it reaches about 88C. Don't think that would end up well in the long run.

overall, for the price I paid, I can't complain, but if you are spending so much on a drive, I would think twice going with this drive.
