Great performance
Low profile bracket included
Beautiful design
Great heat-dissipate features
High compatibility
NVMe is the future and brings the potential for very high performance. In its current form
The Zotac Sonix 480GB outperforms SATAbased SSDs across the board and could eventually sell at SATA prices.

“The Zotac Sonix shows what NVMe is all about
Blazing fast speeds
Low access time
And plenty of capacity. And it does that looking gorgeous.”

We feel Zotac jumped the gun and shipped (to end users) a product that wasn't 100 percent ready for retail. The low queue depth performance is less than we expected and that makes applications run slower than it should on a NVMebased drive. The MSRP is we

The Sonix was quite an impressive drive to have here in the office and it continues the trend that Zotac set with their graphics cards: A great performance that goes past the norm.The PCIe card in itself looks great with its silver finish. The air vents a...
Zotac may not be the first name that comes to mind when deciding to buy an SSD but the Sonix drive should change that for a lot of people. Their first foray into the SSD market was decent, a solid SATA based model but this is a whole different beast.Start...

Before you consider the Zotac Sonix 480GB SSD for your next computer build give the product time to mature and the "new-device-on-the-block tax" to subside. For this drive to be a good value Zotac needs to undercut Samsung and Intel NVMe-based SSDs on p...
Great overall performance, Easy installation, Looks great & RGB lighting, Better compatibility than M.2
Zotac SSD Toolbox software does not recognize the drive, Weird write results in some tests
Zotac's 10 Year Anniversary Sonix 480GB PCIe Solid State Drive is a great choice for a storage device if you are looking to upgrade your current storage situation or you are building a new PC. The benefits over a traditional hard drive are quite massive...

Allmetal casing, Low profile single slot design, Adequate cooling and ventilation, Can exceed marketed numbers with ATTO and CrystalDisk Mark
No Windows 10 drivers, No Phison FW 2.1 firmware public release
If you see certain benchmarks such as ATTO and CrystalDisk, it well exceeds or meets the advertised speeds. In come cases, the load times are a little bit lower than its SATA counterparts. But not in other cases. Weird! Despite the combination of sequenti...
Let's get something straight here, when you are willing to fork out extra money to buy a PCI-e SSD over a SATA SSD, you are looking at performance, and with the SONIX you will not be disappointed. Even though in some of our synthetic tests the write speed...
Really fast storage solution, and first NVME drive with full speeds over a PCIe x4 slot.
Price at the current time is high for NVME drives
When choosing NVME drives you have to consider the price. The higher you go the more expensive it gets. Cost is a major factor when it comes to current NVME drives. You will definitely get outrageous speeds but that also comes with a major price tag...

We've been sayin'it for long time now. NAND is here to stay. It is very hard not to be impressed by what the Zotac Sonix is showing (aside from the two rather hefty anomalies with AS SSD and Anvil which we are sure off will be fixed with a future firmwar...
We are really excited to see a new NVMe SSD hit the consumer retail space. More competition will help to drive pricing lower and performance higher, and that's a good thing for the consumer. ZOTAC's Sonix 480GB NVMe AIC SSD is a high-quality piece of ha...
