XPG GAMMIX S11 Pro 256GB NVMe PCIe Gen3x4 M.2 SSD

The XPG GAMMIX S11 Pro is a high-performance NVMe solid state drive designed to elevate demanding PC builds, gaming rigs, and creator workstations. Built around a PCIe Gen3x4 interface and NVMe 1.3 protocol, this M.2 2280 SSD delivers blistering sequential speeds that dramatically reduce load times, accelerate application launches, and boost overall system responsiveness. With a compact 256 GB capacity, it provides a robust boot drive or a fast cache/working drive for the most frequently used titles and programs. The S11 Pro also features an integrated heatsink to maintain thermal stability under heavy workloads, helping sustain peak performance even during long gaming sessions or extended rendering tasks. Its compact M.2 2280 form factor makes it a versatile upgrade for modern desktops, laptops with spare M.2 slots, and compact system builds, delivering a seamless blend of speed, efficiency, and reliability.

• Blazing fast NVMe performance: Leveraging PCIe Gen3x4 and NVMe 1.3, the GAMMIX S11 Pro pushes sequential read speeds up to 3500 MB/s and writes up to 3000 MB/s. This level of performance translates into near-instantaneous game and software loading, snappy texture streaming, and dramatically quicker boot times, giving you a competitive edge in fast-paced titles and resource-intensive workflows. Whether you’re a gamer chasing faster level loads or a creator rendering large projects, the S11 Pro accelerates your daily tasks with confidence.
• Integrated heatsink for sustained performance: The drive comes encased with an efficient heatsink designed to dissipate heat during prolonged usage. Thermal management helps prevent throttling, maintaining high endurance and steady speed for longer periods. This is especially beneficial in compact builds or laptops where airflow is limited, ensuring you get consistent performance without abrupt slowdowns during extended gaming sessions or heavy data transfers.
• Compact M.2 2280 form factor with broad compatibility: The M.2 2280 size fits a wide range of desktop motherboards and laptops that offer an M.2 slot. Its slim profile makes it ideal for slim gaming laptops, ultrabooks, and desktop builds where space is at a premium. The GAMMIX S11 Pro supports PCIe Gen3x4 interfaces, making it a ready-to-use upgrade for systems that support NVMe storage to maximize bandwidth and efficiency without unnecessary bulk.
• Smart, energy-efficient design for everyday computing: Beyond raw speed, the GAMMIX S11 Pro is engineered to deliver exceptional energy efficiency and thermal stability. This reduces power consumption during idle periods and lowers overall heat output during heavy workloads, contributing to cooler system temperatures and quieter operation—an important benefit for laptops and small form factor builds where power management and thermal headroom matter.
• Versatile usage for OS drives, gaming, and applications: With 256 GB of fast NVMe storage, you can install an operating system for rapid boot times and snappy system responsiveness, store your favorite games for quick launches, or use it as a high-speed cache/work drive to accelerate demanding applications. The GAMMIX S11 Pro blends speed with practical capacity, making it a compelling choice for gamers, content creators, and enthusiasts seeking a performance uplift without expanding drive bays.

how to install XPG GAMMIX S11 Pro

• Power down your computer and unplug it from any power source. Open the case and locate an available M.2 slot on the motherboard. Ensure you are comfortable with hardware installation; if you’re unsure, consult the motherboard manual or seek professional assistance.
• Hold the GAMMIX S11 Pro by its edges and align the notch on the edge connector with the key in the M.2 slot. Insert the module at a slight angle (approximately 30 degrees) into the slot until it is securely seated.
• Secure the drive with the small mounting screw provided with your motherboard or storage kit. Gently tighten the screw until the drive sits flat and firmly in place, taking care not to overtighten.
• Power on the system and enter the BIOS/UEFI. Ensure the M.2 drive is detected and, if necessary, set the drive to NVMe mode and enable PCIe/x4 for optimal performance. Save changes and exit the BIOS to boot into your operating system.
• Install or migrate your operating system and required software. You can use your preferred OS installation media or a cloning tool to move data from an existing drive. Once installed, format the drive if needed and align partitions for best performance. Verify the drive shows up in your OS and that performance aligns with the advertised speeds.
