For an SSD of this type I find it slow, which can certainly be explained by the range of the product. I should have gone for another model.
Used as a Windows 10 system drive to replace the old SSD SATA 3 drive which died without warning. Not having made a backup, I had to reinstall the OS and the applications. On arrival, I noticed much better performance (boot < 5s, i.e. about 2 to 3 s saved, improved app loading time).
I had to reinstall the OS and applications, and I noticed a significant improvement in performance (boot time < 5s, i.e. about 2 to 3 seconds faster, and better loading time for applications).
Good value for money for this Nvme SSD which is certainly not the fastest but who really sees the difference?
