We could not remove the bottom heatsink as Silicon Power uses a very strong tape adhesive and nearly damaged the drive in the process. With the top of the heatsink removed, we have access to the XS70’s internal components. As far as shipping durability, the M.2 drives require very little protection, so this type of packaging shouldn’t raise any concerns.

On the back, there are several bits of information in multiple languages, including the drives compliance certifications, Silicon Power contact information, UPC and EAN bar codes, and a QR code for activating the warranty. Silicon Power lists the sequential read/write speeds, drive capacity, and warranty duration on the front. The printing is done in an attractive black and gold. While the plastic container is reusable, the cardboard is destroyed once opened. A clear plastic container is set inside of stiff cardboard. Packaging for the XS70 is about as simple as they come. *All trademarks, including brand names and images, are the property of their respective ownersġ TB Amazon: $Currently Unavailable / Newegg $130.99 *Performance read/write varies by system performance (such as hardware, software, and interface mode) and capacity Please click here for more information about Silicon Power Warranty Policy. *The SSD warranty is based on the TBW or Warranty period.

Silicon Power XS70 1 TB M.2 NVMe Gen4 x4 SSD SpecificationsĬomputer with M.2 slots supporting PCIe interface and one of the following operating systems: Windows 8.1 or Windows 10ĬE, FCC, UKCA, BSMI, Green dot, WEEE, RoHS, KCC


Here’s a list of the specifications from Silicon Power. Cooler components translate to a longer-lasting drive, and Silicon Power provides a five-year limited warranty. The pre-installed heatsink improves heat dissipation and thermal regulation. The XS70 is not only compatible with PCs it is also Play Station 5 compatible, giving it an additional level of versatility. This configuration supports DRAM Cache Buffer for improved sequential read/write and random read/write performance and LDPC and RAID engine technology for enhanced data integrity and stability. Silicon Power employs an SK Hynix 8 GB DDR4-2666 IC chip to handle all the DRAM functions, and the 1 TB model in this review uses four 256 GB TLC 3D NAND chips in a single-sided layout.

The E18 series represents Phison’s top-tier 4th generation PCIe controller and successor to the E16 series. At the heart of the XS70 is a Phison E18 series controller with its 32-bit ARM Cortex R5 processor. How fast is it exactly? Its rated sequential read/write speeds are 7,300MB/s and 6,800 MB/s. Silicon Power XS70 Specifications and FeaturesĪs we mentioned in the introduction, the Silicon Power XS70 is a PCIe Gen 4 x4 M.2 SSD that utilizes NVMe 1.4 to produce some of the highest read and write times on the market. There’s a lot more to like about this drive, so without further adieu, let’s get to it. If that isn’t enough to keep reading, you should also know that the XS70 boasts capacities of 1 TB, 2TB, and a whopping 4 TB. With a rated sequential read speed of up to 7,300 MB/s, this could potentially be one of the fastest drives has ever reviewed. This drive utilizes PCIe Gen4 x4 technology and NVMe 1.4 support, allowing higher performance, lower latency, and lower power consumption than previous generations. In this review, we look at Silicon Power’s XS70 1 TB M.2 NVMe SSD.
