They've broken through the longstanding physics problem of reversing entropy and were even so humble as to not flaunt it as the major accomplishment in their marketing materials.
The fast looking car disjointedly floating above the surface of a road inside a tunnel while expelling a blue glow from its exhaust system is one of the most original ways of conveying the idea of a speedy computer product that I've ever seen. Everyone knows that computer data storage is basically comparable to transportation in every way. I'm surprised that no other company has thought up a similar marketing strategy yet. I have no doubt that the car image will land almost as many sales as the unheard of idea of putting a letter X in the product name.
I find it especially interesting that the tunnel the car is floating through is very clearly a railway/light rail tunnel. I suspect that is done to showcase the versatility of the drive - "Not only is it as fast as a supercar, but it's as versatile as a flying supercar that can navigate railway tunnels!"
you forgot to mention that the car is going straight while the wheels are fully locked to the left.
@Bravadu, ADATA also launched SX8200 PRO the other day with the same controller. Which brings up the other geniusity of ADATA - having virtually the same drives marketed under two different products. Like SX8200 and S11 were virtually the same, SX8200 PRO and S11 PRO are identical.
Yes, identical. Except one has a heatsink and the other doesn't. This is perfect. Some motherboards come with an NVME heatspreader while some don't.
So I used SX8200 Pro drives for my Gigabyte AORUS motherboards (placing them under the included NVME heatsinks) and then used the Gammix S11 Pro on a PCIe NVME expansion card I bought off Ebay which works well due to the S11 Pro's included heatsink.
Voila.
I like that you can get either model. The SX8200 Pro does come with an optional heatsink though. Just in case.

Ahh, finally an SSD that can take the hot air in my case and blow cold air on my CPU! Can't wait to see what 2019 will bring us!jeremyshaw - Thursday, December 13, 2018 - link
The SSD isn't even installed, in that image. Talk about a bad photoshop.willis936 - Thursday, December 13, 2018 - link

You're thinking small. I'm getting an array of these to replace my AC.Santoval - Thursday, December 13, 2018 - link
ADATA broke the second law of thermodynamics via a single poorly rendered image. That's quite an achievement indeed.FunBunny2 - Friday, December 14, 2018 - link
be kind. everyone knows that if you can imagine it, you can do it. like levitating. or eating brussel sprouts.PeachNCream - Thursday, December 13, 2018 - link

Dude, can your SSD support a car on top of it?Jokes aside, I think that Adata makes solid, competitive stuff. Its SX8200 NVMe SSD is pretty good.

In fairness to the graphic designer, wheel direction becomes relatively unimportant once your car is flying.Mahigan - Saturday, January 4, 2020 - link
