Has anyone tried ADATA XPG SX7000 NVME SSD?

[bufferOverflow]

There is a very good deal going for ADATA XPG SX7000 PCIe NVME M.2 SSD on Newegg. These are not as fast as Samsung Evo 960 but at $150 this is very compelling reason to buy.

Here are the advertised features of this drive:

• PCIe Gen3x4 interface: R/W speed up to 1800/850MB/s
• NVMe 1.2 Certified
• Intelligent SLC Caching and DRAM Cache Buffer
• 3D NAND TLC
• Compact M.2 2280 form factor
• 5 years Warranty

Has anyone tried this drive to install High Sierra? If yes, does it need any hacks?

I have a SX6000 and it was recognized by HS installer.

Thanks funkthew0rld for confirming.

I bought a Samsung Evo 960 thinking not to mess around too much with configs if the ADATA is not compatible.

I thought the price of the sx6000 was worth the gamble. its not as fast as I would have liked, but the price was right and I thought worst case I could use it for windows and use old sata 830 for macOS incase of issues.
But by all means the ADATA seems like a good buy, trim support is enabled by default and shows under NVMe in system profiler as "Apple SSD controller"

How did you get the SX6000 to be recognised? adaptor etc? I have an MBP Ret 2015 with High Sierra - and Boot ROM version of MBP121.0171.B00 - I booted to Linux, and can't see/recognise the SSD. - any help is much appreciated.

I installed it in my m.2 slot and booted to recovery from my spinning disk. The reason for this is I was not going to do a fresh install on it just restore my current install over. It was immediately recognized with no kexts or patches on my GA-H270 board.
