Fantastic Drive!

Fantastic Drive at a fantastic price. Runs at advertised speeds and has a whopping 1.8tb of storage once installed into windows. This drives faster than a standard SATA SSD and is the same price. Absolutely no brainer if you have a free M.2 slot.

Decent

Decent but it uses SATA protocol and is not an NVMe which caused 2 of my sata ports to stop working. I had to switch the cables to two other free ports to get my SSD's back. It is fast and seems to be working well so far

Adorama spoils their customers

Adorama is a life saver! Needed a good nvme to replace a broken one and luckily Adorama not only had a great one in stock but it was on an incredible sale! Package delivered in 3 short days and saved me a lot of headache. Great nvme for a great price, computer is running nice and smooth again.

Good for cold storage

Good sequential writing performance above 1Gb/s during a very large data write test (600 GB) given the controller is low end and it's DRAM less.

Nice storage upgrade

Cloned my drive to it and it's working like a charm. Not rated as the fastest drive, but it's noticeably faster than the SATA m.2 it replaced. Good bang for the buck.

Best Bang for Buck

Exactly what i was looking for. Due to how computers work, the literal ?2tb? is about 18690 mb or whatever but its a good price for 2tbs for a gen 3 drive, m,2. Modest speed that works for games etc. i do not remember of there is a dram cache, but i dont need it since i am just playing games etc. 149 is a fantastic price for fast storage if you want to play games.
