Pros: -Price -Performance -Easy installation -Appears very well constructed -Benchmark test results match advertised speeds -5 Year Warranty

Cons: Being unfamiliar with the manufacturer, I am not sure how well they honer any warranty issues that may arise within the 5 year period. No paperwork comes with the drive indicating how to register/contact for warranty issues. (other than listing their website for warranty policy) Paperwork doesn't change, however a website can. Not a big deal but I listed for completeness.

Overall Review: Purchased for a new PC build centered around a Ryzen 7 1700x/B450 Tomahawk. Install was easy, BIOS detected everything. Windows install went as expected, partitioned and allocated full drive to C: (other than the small volume Windows creates). For a daily use/gaming PC, I cannot justify paying the costs associated with higher end drives that claim 5000MBs read rates when this drive can reach 3000MBs and my system can never utilize 100% of that. Ran a simple SSD benchmark util and the results were very close to the advertised speeds.
