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.

Price, name recognition

Tons of storage space on an NVMe. Faster, SEEK times means faster bootups.

It is very fast.

Everything went well

new and works we

Good price. Good quality.

Affordable, especially on sale Fast enough for gaming and file transfer Sleek form factor Quick shipping

Installing the M.2 was easy and simple to perform. Load times are extremely fast for Windows and other applications.

its the exact size that I needed. I thought 1TB was going to be enough but that was wrong in about 3 days lol.



Lightweight, compact, retirees less anchoring, super speed drive.


It works as expected. I have it in a pcie to nvme adapter. My darn video card takes up 2 slots so i am using a 1 lane on this ssd. Still gets 1.7gb reads. Good enough. It transferred to my other drive at that speed for big files. Impressive but i can move it to a m.2 slot and I am sure it will be much faster

Performance has been fast, even after long load periods. Its lack of DRAM hasn't made any noticeable impact on anything that I've done so far. The most notable characteristic to me, is that it runs cool. So far, even after long load periods, it remains at 30 degrees C with just the mother board heat sink.

Works like a dream Easy install Just make sure to format, lol

Speed is as advertised, cheapest Pcie 5x4 ssd in the market and definitely the best one without a DRam cache. Temperatures are good with the heatsink included in the motherboard.

Cheap small gut I put it in a caddy and I am using it as a USB drive for my phone for travel using OTG storage, It works perfectly and is fast enough for streaming media. Transfer from the computer is easy so it has made a nice little drive for very little money!

I found that in the m.2 #1 socket, no go, that was under the video card which is in the second slot from the too big ryzen x399 cooler. So I looked in the manual and went to #2 m.2 socket and my computer detected the 1TB drive. Then it was a matter of unplugging the spinning disk drive and using an old 1909 windows 10-64 downloaded disk from way back and it loaded windows 10. Then installed many old programs I like then to Update and Security to get version 22H2 by download. The drive is now my primary hard drive and this is a first time for me with M.2. I bought this with the heatsink so I don't have to worry about that. Everything works.
