Mushkin Enhanced Pilot-E M.2 2280 250GB PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe 1.3 3D TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MKNSSDPE250GB-D8

Pros: Fast & easy, the way I like it.

Overall Review: Lives up to the hype so far. Stock M.2 heatsink on my ASRock x570 board led to a 10% boost in speed. 1GB read/write: 3480MB/s / 2606MB/S, using CrystalDiskMark

Pros: Currently, August 2020, TLC is the preferred standards over QLC and yes, you get TLC engineered in this Solid State Drive (SSD) hard drive module. The Read and Write performance is excellent, meaning Windows/Mac loads quickly, installation of new programs completes quickly, apps runs smoothly, no freezing, no "Not Responding' processes, except software bugs. Although this module supports 128 and 256-bit encryption, preferred macOS File Format is APFS (No Encryption/FireVault, No Case Sensitive). Preferred file format in Windows is NTFS for available and preserved storage space. Shows total "street metric" storage space of 1,863 GB.

Cons: Apple Proprietary Hardware Rule: To use this SSD Module on a Catalina / Big Sur Mac plus Windows 10 in Boot Camp, YOU MUST INITIALIZE AND FORMAT THIS SSD MODULE in Mac using Disk Utility (DU) or DU in Internet Recovery Mode, create a volume for the full storage capacity of 2TB, then build a Windows Boot Camp partition from this macOS Volume using DU or Boot Camp Assistance . THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.

Overall Review: Price and value, this is a win.

Overall Review: The write speeds are tested @2500mb/s and read speeds @1500mb/s at over half capacity 1.1tb storage space used, specs stated higher numbers tho

Pros: Was easy to install and had no problems setting it up as my windows boot drive. Speeds are amazing!

Cons: None

Overall Review: Will be buying more of these soon.

Pros: Fast. Relatively affordable. TLC NAND

Cons: -Gets hot and throttles pretty quickly.

Overall Review: It is a really fast drive and so far has really done the trick for my Photoshop editing. I regularly edit 200+ megapixel images and a fast scratch disk is a necessity. This one seems to be doing the trick. I do want to get a heatsink for it because it does throttle down pretty quickly when under load. So far though I like it.

Pros: Easy to set up as Raid0 boot drive. Performance may not be the highest end, but very satisfactory results when running crystaldiskmark and everyday use.

Cons: N/A

Overall Review: If you're able to use the latest gen4 drives such as the Seagate Firecuda series, those may offer better performance, but you just can't beat these for being right in the sweet spot for cost to performance when running on gen3.

Overall Review: IS FAST

Pros: I like the brand and the product. Easy install no problems at all. U got what u pay for!!! Speed in my setup: Read: 2794 MB/s Write: 3119 MB/s For me no reason to pay 2 or 3 times more money for 1GB M2 ssd because I dont use my computer 24/7.

Cons: I dont see any cons ATM hopefully will work as it should.

Overall Review: Recommend this product to anyone.
