Pros: 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.

Cons: No Dram cache, no included heatsink, probably the second slowest Pcie 5x4 ssd in the market

Overall Review: When it comes to Pcie 5x4 drives, this is a great value. It's more than 95% of the performance of drives 20-25% more expensive and the other Dramless drive in the market is more expensive and slower than this. The real question is whether you need this over a Pcie 4x4 drive which are half the price and 70% the speed. I have specific requirements that needed this drive, so I ponied up, but high performance Pcie 4x4 drives will probably be a better value for close enough speed (in a lot of cases sustained speed too) but if you need a very responsive boot drive and have an empty Pcie 5x4 slot then this is the best option for the price.

Pros: Reasonable Price Phison Dram Controller (not sure how much but the 1TB model doesn't have it, this one does) Significantly faster than the fastest Pcie4x4 drives, nearly matching the price premium Doesn't thermal throttle without a heatsink

Cons: Not the fastest Pcie5x4 drive

Overall Review: Incredible performance with very little drawback and the price is very close to being justified for the speed increase.

Pros: - Expected/advertised performance - One of the lowest price - Halfway recognizable brand

Overall Review: Speed is as advertised and the price is below most products of similar performance envelope. Teamgroup is also one of the recognized names in the space but there is no real brand name tax for it at $110, which is one of the cheapest ssds out there.
