Works Great
Pros: Works great! Steady voltage coming to computer plus It keeps me on long enough to save everything. I live in an area prone to quick outages and run multiple virtual machines for work. It was a real hassle for a 10 second outage before this came in.
Cons: the battery plugs need to be more spread out
Overall Review: I could probably get better time if I limited it to one screen instead of all 3, but it's still good for 15 minutes with 3 23", modem, router and PC tower all on the battery side.
great with Intel chipset
Pros: This thing is faster than any other SSD I've owned if installed with an Intel chipset. That is the chipset, not the CPU.
Cons: Initially installed in my desktop which is AMD and couldn't tune or anything as the Intel SSD toolbox couldn't communicate with it because it wasn't an Intel chipset. This should in no way be a hindrance for a drive!
Overall Review: Luckily enough my laptop was a willing transplant patient. If I hadn't had an Intel chipset board to use this with I would have been infuriated. I honestly don't know how to rate this. If you do have compatible hardware it's a 5; if not it's a 1/4 of an egg as it's slower than a HDD. You can find all sorts of articles about this by searching something like "The Intel SSD Toolbox cannot communicate with the selected Intel SSD"
Powerhouse of a SSD
Pros: The 2TB Crucial P310 comes with a great quality heatsink and was easy to install in my motherboard's spare PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slot. The 5 year warranty should bring peace of mind. Performance when the drive is nearly empty is great. Benchmark results are similar to my 2TB competitor's Pro version (which is half full), and faster in some tests. It's significantly quicker than my 2TB QVO SSD, as expected since that one is a SATA drive.
Cons: The main thing to be aware of is that this is a DRAM-less SSD, so its performance is expected to slow down as free space runs out. I didn't fill it up to test this, and I don't anticipate it being a concern for my use which will be mostly video game storage.
Overall Review: Overall, easy installation and impressive out-of-the-box speed.
Overall just great
Pros: Impressive speeds all around
Cons: Will need more time to see if it holds up over time.
Overall Review: **M.2 SSD Review** The M.2 SSD we're reviewing today boasts impressive performance metrics that make it a standout choice for high-demand computing tasks. Here's a detailed breakdown of its capabilities: ### Performance Metrics: 1. **Disk Random 16.0 Read: 1304.91 MB/s** - This SSD exhibits strong performance in random read operations, delivering a throughput of 1304.91 MB/s. This is particularly beneficial for applications that require quick access to small files and data scattered across the drive. 2. **Disk Sequential 64.0 Read: 3248.04 MB/s** - Sequential read speeds are a critical measure for tasks such as loading large files, booting operating systems, and gaming. This SSD achieves an impressive 3248.04 MB/s, ensuring rapid access to large datasets and smooth performance in read-heavy applications. 3. **Disk Sequential 64.0 Write: 3352.42 MB/s** - The write speed is equally impressive, with a sequential write throughput of 3352.42 MB/s. This makes the SSD an excellent choice for tasks involving large file transfers, video editing, and other write-intensive operations. 4. **Latency Metrics:** - **Maximum Latency: 0.254 ms** - With a maximum latency of just 0.254 milliseconds, this SSD ensures minimal delay in data access, contributing to an overall responsive computing experience. - **95th Percentile Latency: 0.102 ms** - The 95th percentile latency of 0.102 milliseconds indicates that even under heavy loads, the drive maintains consistent performance, with only 5% of operations experiencing slightly higher latency. ### Overall Impressions: This M.2 SSD delivers exceptional performance across various metrics, making it a top contender for both professional and enthusiast use cases. Its high random read speeds, outstanding sequential read and write speeds, and low latency make it an ideal choice for users who need fast, reliable storage for demanding applications. Whether you're gaming, editing videos, or running complex simulations, this SSD is sure to enhance your system's performance and responsiveness.
I'm not sold
Pros: Pros: Plug and play with no drivers needed. About the size of an external M2 drive. The blinking lights tell you all you need to know for status. Its easily used for both PC and iPad. The signal at my house was so good and fast that I investigated T-Mobile home internet. Obviously, this varies based on your location and the cell signal. It does seem to power up and connect rather quickly. Windows 11 recognizes it as a cellular connection. In a good 5G area. The speeds are amazing. Also, backwards compatible with 4 and 3G.
Cons: Honestly, I wouldnt have bought this for the price since all my laptops have a SIM slot and I dont generally use an iPad. I dont have an android tablet to test with, but the Android phone didnt seem to recognize it. Then again it wasnt advertised for such. This device is a lot more inefficient than a built in SIM slot since the device needs to be powered by your laptop or iPad. Regular activation as a standard customer is enough to make me kick kittens and punch puppies and I like puppies!
Overall Review: Overall, I guess if you need it and T-Mobile is good in the area youll be using it the device works flawlessly. I couldnt find out if any other GSM service would work for it. Id love to go into more detail, but I honestly dont know what else to add.
Great budget RAM! Excellent no frills solid memory.
Pros: Installed in an Intel 12 core system Thinking this would be my bottleneck. Im happy I was wrong. Very budget friendly for 32GB which Im guessing is precisely what they were going for. Testing showed 1.3x increase over my DDR4 overclocked RAM. Stays cool very well, even without the heatsinks. Excellent stability. Benchmarked, threw some very heavy programs and games at it and all and it just chewed through them.
Cons: No real cons other than features and such that would add to the price.
Overall Review: After thorough testing I have determined it was NOT this RAM that was causing my issues of freezing up in games. This is why I am reviewing late. I almost kept this installed in my gaming rig, but I already have RGB RAM for it. Given the budget nature of this I very might use this in a Linux or NAS system. It easily handles multiple threads and multiple VMs to maxing it out. Forgot to get pics without the other RAM and I'm already late as heck so the only pics I have right now are these two with the RGB RAM installed as well.
