CONCLUSION
ANACOMDA may not be among the well-established names in the PC storage market but as with others they were willing to invest in the development of the I4X Fiery Serpent M.2 NVMe SSD line and that was enough to produce a very good Gen4 model. Performance is among the best, durability although not listed online should be around the 1400TBW mark for the 2TB variant (always based on similar models) and as for warranty 5-years should be plenty. On top of that ANACOMDA has or will soon have the I4X at 8TB something which we don’t see nearly as much in the market, even though it’s high time we did.
Availability is clearly the sole downside of the I4X Fiery Serpent line of Gen4 M.2 NVMe SSDs by ANACOMDA since I couldn’t locate the 2TB capacity model (or the 4/8TB ones) inside the USA or the EU (Newegg has just the 1TB model listed). Unfortunately, this is something I’ve seen far too many times and in the end it’s the consumer base that takes the hit since just like the I4X there are very good products out there that may never make it out Asia, not in large quantities. With that out of the way however the I4X Fiery Serpent 2TB Gen4 M.2 NVMe SSD does deliver and for that it deserves the Golden Award.
