Gamezoom Technic & Performance

The first SSD from ASUS ROG leaves a good impression in our editorial office. The sophisticated technology, the fairly low heat development and of course the performance is more than decent speak for our review sample. The NVMe SSD also impresses in terms of battery life and power consumption. Even PS5 gamers can flirt with the ROG STRIX SQ7 SSD 1TB.

Before we get into testing, I’d like to mention a few extra features on this drive. For the security focused users this drive includes AES 256 bit Full Disk Hardware Encryption and is compliant with TCG Opal V2 and IEEE1667 standards. And lastly it comes with ROG SSD Dashboard to get all the stats for the drive, there is also NTI Backup Now software for those who currently don’t have any tool for that, which is a nice value add.

Asus builds its first SSD under its own name, the ROG Strix SQ7, from established components: E18 controllers from Phison and Micron TLC flash with 176 layers also make a good team for other manufacturers. The SSD is in the top group in this test in terms of speed: It reaches almost 7.5 GB/s when reading large files.
