Easy install, a ton faster than my Samsung 860 evo 2.5" installed OS and was up and running in no time, Super fast boot times.

fast out of the box !!!

Plug and play. My MSI BIOS auto detected the M.2 drive and set it up as NVMe.


Fast better than a hard drive


Stays cool

Easy to install, although I did have to rig the screwing it in as there wasn't a screw hole in the laptop. Passive heat sink tape stuff was pre-applied


- Similiar performance as competing full-size high-end 2280 M.2 PCIe SSDs - Sequential write speed exceeded advertised rating of 6,000 MB/s (Avg 6,228.30 MB/s of 5 tests) - Great capacity X performance X format X price - Small size for use in various handheld gaming or media devices - 5 Year Warranty

-cheap -fast (far, far faster than my samsung 840) -closing in on 2 yrs w/ zero issues, in use pretty much 24x365

Price point for capacity

It's an SSD, and the price was unbelievable. It may not have top-end performance (I haven't measured it yet), but the price made it a good deal regardless.

- Working exceptionally better than expected - Amazing customer service - Relatively easy to set up - Worth the money

I really like how it gives you the ability to change the rgb and fan curves. It runs at a constant 46°C in my pc. I also like that you can upgrade the ssd in the heat sync if you want. I have been thinking about eventually upgrading from the 2tb to a 4tb and the heat sync can be easily swapped to the 4tb.

Motherboard and CPU arrived in good condition. Packaging was secure and delivery was fast. Products seem authentic and work properly.

Installed in a ROG STRIX B450-F motherboard using a Generic brand - PCIe host adapter for M.2 in the bottom slot which is a - PCIEX16 according to the book. Works great...for game drive.

1. Cost per TB 2. Good TBW for the price 3. It works, for this price why so serious? 4. It still works! It's big! It's an SSD that is all that!
