Pros: Fast Price 5 year warranty if you register it with Sabrent.
Cons: Sabrent's web pages are convoluted and very difficult to find information, including TBW lifespan. TINY letters used in manual and for the serial number on the back of the drive.
Overall Review: Make certain to look at the back of the drive and record the serial number before install, you will need it to register the drive. After installing the drive I entered BIOS to make certain the drive showed up, it did. After entering Windows 10 I opened Computer Management, Disk Management and formatted the drive I ran CrystalDiskMark7 x64 and the drive yielded the following performance [Seq block size 1 MiB, Ran Block Size 4 KiB]: Seq Q8T1: Read 3429, Write 3057 Seq Q1T1: Read 1776, Write 2232 Ran Q8T8: Read 1256, Write 1928 Ran Q1T1: Read 34, Write 160 I used the above because normal desktop uses seldom goes beyond Q8, including gaming. Compared to my 1TB Samsung 970 EVO this Sabrent drive was a little slower with reads except Random Q1T1 where it was a little faster and faster in writes except a little slower in Sequential Q1T1. When comparing numbers drive size matters and larger drives are faster than smaller ones, however those read & write numbers for this Sabrent drive are good for a 2TB drive at this price. My motherboard is a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master, CPU is an Intel i9 9900KS.
