ZOTAC SONIX PCI-E SSD 480GB Review

Today we will reviewing the ZOTAC SONIX PCI-e SSD 480GB. ZOTAC manufacturers a small range of SSDs, but the SONIX is ZOTAC’s only PCI-e version (apart from the suped up 10th anniversary version which we saw at the ZOTAC press event a few months back).

 

 

ZOTAC, the creator of the Original Mini PC, derives its name from the words “zone” and “tact”, aptly referencing our skill & expertise in the zones of PC components, systems, and manufacturing. Combining both function and design, ZOTAC strives to create the latest technological products that epitomize form, utility, and style.

In a world where every second counts, you cannot afford to lag behind. Maximize your speed, minimize load times and make the hourglass a distant memory. With the PCI-e interface, the set up is a very simple plug and play*, so say goodbye to cable management. Your ultimate upgrade requires no wires and no mess – just a sleek dose of metal, silicon, and blazing speed.

Let’s get straight in there and have a look at the technical specifications of the SONIX.
