Conclusion
ADATA Swordfish 500Gb may work on previous bus standard that is twice slower than PCIe Gen4. The sequential write speed is 1200 Mb/s, that is slower than has most of rivals. The ADATA Swordfish provide possibility to write 330 TBW, that is poor compared to nearest competitors. Overall, ADATA Swordfish 500Gb has more disadvantages and we highly do not advise to spend money for it.
