Product Photos and a Closer Look
The package of the FX900 Pro SSD is a small box with blister protection for the SSD inside. Besides the SSD, inside is a quick start guide and a single screw which can be handy if we are missing it in our motherboard or laptop.
The box’s exterior is well described and provides quite detailed info about the SSD inside.
The SSD itself looks pretty typical for an M.2 2280 SSD. The only exception is the mentioned already graphene pad which works as a heatsink but is softer. We have to remember that if we wish to use an additional heatsink, the SSD will be a bit thicker. The graphene pad is helping to reduce the SSD heat. Of course, many motherboards are already equipped with larger and better performing heatsinks but if we don’t have such a motherboard or if we want to use the SSD on a laptop then the graphene pad is a great help.
The SSD was tested on the MSI Z590I Unify motherboard. The motherboard is designed to support two M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD in a sandwich design. The top heatsink was not used for tests, so the SSD worked, as you see in the photos below.
On the next page, we will take a closer look at the test results.
