Does the job
Purchased in December 2019 and installed for nearly 4 years as a system drive. Does the job perfectly. A bit of a pain to fit as I remember the screw was really tiny. 5/5.

As usual delivery of the package always in record time.
Install on my main Gamer Computer (old from 2016), SSD M.2, it's a life changer!
Thanks LDLC
Very fast and stable with proper cooling.
3.5GB/s read; 700MB/s write (only); Access time = 0.05ms.
great SSD with good performance and temperature
but
after not even 2 months my copy is defective
I've been using it for a while now, but it's not really working, so I'm not sure if it's working properly.
I have to reboot the pc to be able to continue playing otherwise the ssd is like blocked (-1.5 stars for that)
I'm not sure if it's a good one or not.
I have to say that I am very pleased with the quality of the product and the service.
a big box or the article is free to move inside ......
it`s not serious
I'm not sure if it's a good one or not, but I'm sure it's a good one.
On a gamer machine replaced my Samsung SSD850, not great difference but still works fine.
In system disk, what can I say except that it's wonderful to have such a responsive system, that boots in less than 10 seconds...
The disc works very well, and I am fully satisfied.
The installation is easy, and it is pleasant to use.
I know the potential qualities of this type of "small format" SSD because I have been using one - msata Intel 240GB - for 6 years on my laptop. This one is obviously much more advanced and offers really impressive performance. It just needs to last as long as the previous one, but considering the quality of Samsung I'm not worried!
Installed as a system drive on Asrock 470 sli (2 M2 ports available) in 22 min (2 min to mount, 20 min to find a screw that is roughly suitable to secure the mount.
Sequential: 3.555 MB/s read, 2.318 write
Random: 265.136 MB/s read, 219.726 write
The system boots very quickly and the machine runs very fast.
I took one star off because of the eternal problem of the micro screw that is never found, neither on the motherboard nor with the SSD. At this price, it could add a bag with the 3 or 4 screws covering the main applications.
This ssd pro uses 2 bit per cell, it's not tlc, life span 600to against 150 for the evo, but I install a lot of video games, and I can reach 200 gigabytes per day. A quick calculation tells me that my ssd would only live for 8 years, for the tlc 2 years, now we're getting out of the qlc even less enduring.
I think that hard drives have a long way to go, or the consumer will consume a lot more.
P.s. ldlc you are too expensive, everywhere else it is 150 euro I had not checked a mistake.
