THE BEST BARGAIN FOR UPGRADING
Team Group's MP33 M.2 PCIe SSD uses high-speed PCIe Gen3 x4 interface and complies with the NVMe 1.3 standard. With 3D nand flash memory, it is a great bargain and the performance is excellent. Both laptop and PC users can afford it easily, making it the best choice for upgrading.
HIGHER SPEED & BETTER PERFORMANCE
The maximum read/write speed of MP33 is 1,800/1,500MB/s. It is able to reduce operating delays while gaming and loading software that gives computer workers and gamers the finest and smoothest gaming experience and extremely high-speed performance without any lag even loading heavy-duty video/graphics editing software and games.
MP33 M.2 PCIe SSD supports S.M.A.R.T function and its built-in smart algorithm management mechanism has functions such as GC (garbage collection) and TRIM command which are able to ensure operation efficiency, enhance the service life of the solid-state drive and bring it to its maximum performance. Meanwhile, the powerful Wear-Leveling technology and ECC (Error Correction Code) function improve the accuracy and reliability of data transfer and prolong the service life of the solid-state drive.

[1] 1GB=1,000,000,000 Bytes. In OS system, it would be displayed as 1,000.000,000 Bytes/1024/1024/1024= 0.93GB
[2] Definition and conditions of TBW (Terabytes WrittenJare based on JEDEC standard
[3] Transmission speed will vary according to different hardware/software conditions, therefore the data can only use for basic reference.
[4] PCIe SSD works best under WIN8.1 and WIN 10 operating system. Windows Operating Systems earlier than Windows 8.1 does not support NVMe Driver natively. Users will need to install
NVMe Driver prior installing the SSD.
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.
