Pros: I’m using it as a boot drive and it makes my system extremely fast
Overall Review: I definitely would recommend this to anyone
Pros: With the built in heat sync this thing runs so smoothly and my computer is actually having to run its fan much less. In combo with the Lattepanda alpha this thing is great, especially for keeping the size small and the heat sync fits within my case for it well. Have done programming and played some intensive games and it runs without a hiccup and i love it
Cons: Ome downside is the the thickness, if you're using most cases for the Lattepanda alpha anyways. I don't see it being an issue with larger format computers or if you use the Lattepanda alpha in an open form factor
Overall Review: This lil thing is amazing. I used other m.2s and they typically add a ton of heat when running large analysis with R but it is actually using less energy on cooling and hasn't had one hiccup. Pair that with the fact it was drawing as much power as my samsung m.2 (which doesn't have a heat sync and i had to add a coolant system to in order to function without overheating the Lattepanda alpha) im super happy. Also the overall thickness actually made it easier to handel when putting it on the board, most are so thin and i have such big hands they can be a huge hassle
Pros: The design is really good. Easy to cool
Overall Review: Highly recommend this
Pros:
- Worked out of the package.
- Fast read/write
Cons: - Been using this for about a month with light usage, no problems so far.
Overall Review:
- Great ssd card for blazingly fast read/write.
- Great if you can get this on sale.
- A bit pricy.
Pros:
Fast
Perfect for my needs
Great price with Blitz Deal
Paired it with my 1 TB Samsung EVO Plus. The two together are fantastic
Cons: None
Overall Review: I would definitely recommend this product for purchase. Less expensive than Samsung with excellent performance.
Pros: Significantly faster than a sata SSD when transferring data or loading games. Not as significant as going from an HDD to a sata SSD but still significant enough to notice. I'd imagine it will load windows about 10-15 seconds faster than it does but sata ssd is more than enough for the operating system. Where it does show it's speed is in copying large files and loading game levels; which it does both very fast ( I transferred an 80gb file in under 30 seconds)
Cons:
- None so far
- Only con would be the installation location on the motherboard required me to remove my gpu to connect to my m2 slot but this will vary between motherboards
- Software gaming mode is essentially useless but doesn't matter since the drive is just as fast with it off as it is on.
- The drive can run without a heatsink but it's recommended it at least have some form of aluminum heatsink on top of the drive to prevent thermal throttling
Overall Review: As an ssd only for gaming it's a pleasant upgrade from a sata ssd and a huge upgrade from a mechanical HDD. Pcie4 m2 ssds are faster than this but at an average of 3,470mbps read speed this ssd will be plenty fast enough for loading games for the majority of people.
Pros: Easy to install once I got proper technique, no wires needed! Very fast speeds, I got over 3600 mb/s with a PCIe 3.0 motherboard.
Cons: Was a little hard to install while I had my computer vertical, had to lay it down to install.
Overall Review: Very fast speeds and easy installation make this product a 10/10 in my book.

Pros: installed without the need for special keys
used macrium reflect to clone without issue
installs easy, bios had no problems seeing it
Cons: None so far.
Overall Review: Great drive. Makes for a very clean install. Used macrium reflect to clone from my old MBR SSD. Recommend getting 1TB or larger. I got the 500 and now its full once I moved all my games to it (BF5/1/2/4/Bad company/Tomb raider)
Recommend, once installed boot up, and when initializing the new nvme drive...DO NOT USE MBR!. Use GPT type.....then clone with macrium...make sure bios is set to UEFI and it will boot right off of the nvme like a charm. First boot is NOT FAST. Just be patient. Once in windows for 15-20 minutes, shut down. Reboot and enjoy. My boot times from bios splash screen went from 25-28 seconds to 3-4 seconds....I will be getting 3 more. Have empty M2 slot, and will get PCIE card with 2 more slots. These are too fast not to have an array for games.
