The FX900 Pro SSD looks like a typical M.2 SSD in the most popular 2280 size. The main difference can be a graphene thermal pad which works like a thin but high-performance heatsink. Because of that, we may have a problem with installation on some motherboards that are already heatsinks and thicker thermal pads. There is no big problem to remove the graphene pad if we really have to.
The working temperature in the specifications table, suggests that above 70°C is a throttling point. The AIDA64 suggests that the throttling point is higher. The SSD wasn’t throttling during tests, or it was so insignificant that test results were about the same. Even in a small ITX PC on which the SSD was tested, we haven’t noticed throttling or performance decrease.
AIDA64 / HP FX900 Pro SSD details

The SSD supports all the latest technologies to improve stability, data protection, and performance. Our results confirm that the SSD is well-designed, and there shouldn’t be any issues during longer work.

A 5-year warranty or 1.2PBW covers the 2TB version of the FX900 Pro SSD. In a typical home or office environment, it should work without issues for more than five years.

Below is a screenshot from the CrystalDiskInfo diagnostic software, which confirms that the SSD is in perfect condition.

The FX900 Pro is based on the INNOGRIT IG5236CAA controller and large Nanya cache. These two components provide excellent performance, which you can find out on the next pages of this review. Below are some close-ups of the SSD components.

 

Now let’s take a look at the package and the SSD itself.
