Great price for the size.

full metal heatsink lid is important, overheating ssd not a good thing, the reasonably sized heatsink on this is the absolute minimum you should expect. Many other enclosures use less or have heatsinks that are covered by plastic, orico's own clear plastic models do this, none of the clear models have adequate cooling, even the one with the fake embedded heatsink. On heavy sequential writes drives heat up a lot, some enclosures get away with just throttling but it can't be good for the drive. Even this gets a bit hot for my liking on full drive writes and i've pointed a fan or just zip tied a larger m.2 heatsink in place of the lid. I think people are just using slow drives or letting their drives cook in enclosures, and or are mostly doing light writes and reads to never really heat the drive. station drivers have the updated firmware for this, current working one in my experience is rtl9201 1.32.49

- Very fast, getting over 14k read and close to 14k writes on b850 AMD motherboard - Price is amazing compared to the samsung 9100



- Faster option is nearly twice the speed of the "fast" option, I recommend spending the few extra dollars for it.

All three work as expected, no errors or glitches.

Great drive

super fast reading for gaming, comes with a screw in the box in case you don't have one with your motherboard delivery was fast. affordable comes with a heatsink

Excellent value no issues after 1.5 yrs of use

Decent price Easy to install

Fast, Quiet, Programs load fast, Boot lightning fast.


Awesome value ssd

- 2 TB for the price is phenomenal - Speeds are pretty good, obviously limited by SATA III

I like getting a 1Tb M.2 by a know company for $54 (tax) It was installed as a game drive on my MSI x470 Gaming Plus with a Ryzen 7 5700x, I needed to run Dead Space with RTX 3070. drive is in top slot without heatsink, my video is side mount on PCI Express 4 riser mount and not like normal install of your video. HWin64 info has been track the drive temps, 42c was max after some Forspoken benchmarks, about a good hour of Dead Space was 41c in 1440p high settings /DLSS Balanced mode, I order a GLOTRENDS M.2 Heatsink PS5 Installation for Large Capacity for $8.99 and will be installed.`

Speed PCIE 4 5000MB/s Read 4400MB/s write on sale for less then $50

1TB at SSD at $50...we really are in 2023 folks. No reason left for me to go with anything but solid state anymore unless its for archiving. That said, at this price do yourself a favor and get at least 2 or more and RAID configure your equipment at least mirroring . Nothing is foolproof and even Solid State can fail (i just lifeboated a single SSD boot drive from file corruption as i said...). And at this price, redundancy is a no-brainer.


This is the best SSD you can get, and it seems to work great.
