Fast when cool, needs a cooler for sustained writes

Pros: Decent size vs price, fast when cool, easy to intstall
Cons: Bought it to split up a library that was about to fill another same sized M.2 (different brand), moving files from the one to the other, about 1.5TB or so, after about 2/3, speed dropped to zero, manually paused for a few minutes to allow drive to cool off, re-started and it resumed at about 1/3 to 1/2 of the original speed. Later on did some testing on drive and it was back to full speed. Since this is a one-time move of files, don't mind the slow-down, but for more regular writing applications would recommend other brands or getting a cooler.
Overall Review: Would recommend for those who want to do similar to what I do, use this as a mostly read drive once files are in place, for more sustained write usage, would not recommend. Doesn't come with a screw to install, but my motherboard came with enough for all available slots, something to keep in mind. Have purchased 6 or 7 other M.2 drives, I think all but one also did not come with a screw.
Updated review

Pros: - When it works properly, it's a decent board
Cons: Needs a BIOS update to avoid random reboots.
Overall Review: Updating so anyone who sees this gets the info I didn't get - Update to AT LEAST version F13 (Jan 14, 2025) of BIOS to avoid random reboots in Windows.
Easy to use

Pros: Good quality product for re-using older drives that would otherwise go to scrap. Drive installation fairly easy, even 2.5 inch drives. Seems well built
Cons: Would like if it used a standard USB cable, A to C or C to C.
Overall Review: Only took about 10 minutes to set up system with 4 drives, plug in and test. Got a couple of these, one had a couple of 2.5 inch drives put into it, need to remove the plastic 3.5 inch drive clip in rail on one side for those, it pops right off. Other than that, seems to just work. Have had them on line for about two weeks now, remains to be seen if there will be longevity issues. So far, would recommend for spare storage, definitely not as fast as my NAS, but doesn't need to be for me.
Easy to use

Pros: Install is pretty simple and using is as easy as any other USB device
Cons: Lots of screws needed, four for case end and four for holding drive in case, would be nice if there were maybe two thumb screws for the case end and a clip system for the drive. Haven't had too long, but wondering how well the rubber feet that get stuck on will hold up. Wish there was a way to not have the wall-wart type power plug.
Overall Review: A bit pricey but seems like solid unit, got a couple to re-use old BluRay/DVD drives with newer PCs that don't have a place to install them in the cases. Have an older one from the same company, but slightly different design that has held up well. Not as many screws needed for the older one. Older and newer ones all use non-standard USB cables, but they come with them, so not really an issue.
Like the colors!

Pros: Very quite under normal use, nice colors.
Cons: Cable manangement could be better, connectors seem kind of bulky. Would like to see power/ARGB connector lines a bit longer, and chain connectors a bit shorter, that way no extension would be needed to the motherboard, maybe.
Overall Review: Except for figuring out how to get cables routed out of the way, a pretty easy install.
Nice small form factor

Pros: Put this in an HTPC, it's very compact and quiet, super efficient.
Cons: Would like lower power options, like 550/650w versions. Cables are quite short, could be an issue for some builds.
Overall Review: Have a bunch of other Corsair PSUs (and other components) and they're all high quality, some priced better than others, but worth it.
