Conclusion

ADATA Swordfish 1Tb use previous bus standard that is undoubtedly slower than PCIe 4.0. The write speed is 1200 Mb/s, that is slower than has most of rivals. The Internal SSD provide possibility to write 540 TBW, that is not much compared to nearest competitors. When everything is weighed in the balance, ADATA Swordfish 1Tb has more cons and our site highly do not recommend to have it.
