ADATA is using a Realtek RTS5763DL controller, which is Realtek’s entry-level budget SSD controller with four channels, but the full PCIe x4 interface bandwidth and support for AES encryption. The flash chips are 96-layer 3D TLC flash made by Toshiba/Sandisk. ADATA has rebranded the NAND chips and merely states these to be “3D NAND flash”. For cost reasons, a DRAM cache module is not installed. ADATA Swordfish performs very similar to those QLC drives. The Crucial P1 is 1% faster, and the Sabrent Rocket Q is 2% slower. Comparable entry-level TLC drives are the Intel 660p, WD Blue NVMe, and ADATA SX6000 Pro, which seems to be a close cousin of the Swordfish. [Intel 660p is actually QLC and has DRAM. The Intel 760p is the one that is TLC (and also has DRAM).] **The fastest drives in our test group, like the ADATA SX8200 Pro, HP EX950 and Kingston KC2000, are around 10% faster—definitely noticeable, especially when it comes to workloads that are not pure consumer. ADATA isn’t including a DRAM cache chip on the Swordfish, so DRAMless.
