Price point for capacity

Using it for games as my secondary drive. I have no issues with!

- Fast; improved system boot speed over rotating rust. - Easy install (if you've opened an iMac before). - No compatibility issues.

- "Cheap" - Fast enough - Speeds at or above advertised specs


Unfortunately I have to run mine on my old Asus ROG pcie4.0 motherboard, so I got it in anticipation of upgrading. Even at half speed, it's blazing fast. I replaced a 2TB 990 Pro so double the storage and mildly faster.

I really like how it gives you the ability to change the rgb and fan curves. It runs at a constant 46°C in my pc. I also like that you can upgrade the ssd in the heat sync if you want. I have been thinking about eventually upgrading from the 2tb to a 4tb and the heat sync can be easily swapped to the 4tb.


All good! Small, easy to use and great price!

It is very fast.

Easy to install. Crazy fast NVME drive windows installation and general use this thing just flies!

Super-fast on my machine surpassing 400MB/s, zero heat transfer like the hard drive did on my laptop keyboard. Of course, no noise and price was right. Also much improved will be the battery life but I'll never know since my laptop stays plugged in.

Fast....Reliable and reasonable priced.


-- Very fast and haven't had any issues with using the drives. -- Management software works well and make sure you install it.

- Great price - 2TB is a lot of space - plenty fast (at least for now, I haven't tested it at 80% full) - Looks great

I like getting a 1Tb M.2 by a know company for $54 (tax) It was installed as a game drive on my MSI x470 Gaming Plus with a Ryzen 7 5700x, I needed to run Dead Space with RTX 3070. drive is in top slot without heatsink, my video is side mount on PCI Express 4 riser mount and not like normal install of your video. HWin64 info has been track the drive temps, 42c was max after some Forspoken benchmarks, about a good hour of Dead Space was 41c in 1440p high settings /DLSS Balanced mode, I order a GLOTRENDS M.2 Heatsink PS5 Installation for Large Capacity for $8.99 and will be installed.`



works great
