This SSD is really excellent and above all reliable over time. I highly recommend this SSD, which has been used for several hours every day since 2020.
purchased in 2021 to add to a laptop, no problems since, works fine.
I've been using it for a while now, but it's a good idea to keep it in mind when you're using it.
I mounted this drive on an external usb C enclosure to house Steam games on my laptop. For over 6 months now, no problems, very fast and no quirks with regular use.
I had a 250GB toshiba ssd with a 238GB C partition and a 15GB D recovery. Acronis partitioned the new 500GB ssd into a 238GB C partition and a 250GB D recovery. After 2 hours of exploring the software to change this, I decided to accept this partitioning of my new hard disk. Finally then thanks to AOMEI partition manager (free) I was able to create a C partition of 450 GB and a D of 15 GB without losing my data. I notice that my new disk is faster than the old one
SSD installed and detected by the bios. Can't partition when I run my windows 10 usb stick. So, installed windows on HDD temporarily to create partitions on the SSD and then switched back to windows on the nvme SSD in M.2. I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. Can't partition, cyclic redundancy message and write protected every time. I'm up to 8 hours of wasted time and I have a 1200€ gamer PC running on an HDD. Pitiful. I'm going to return the article and buy a Sata SSD I think. I've searched the internet, but it doesn't seem to be possible. I'm completely disgusted. I should have taken a normal SSD, I've been looking forward to assembling this PC for a month now, nothing is working on the SSD side.
This product is compliant, it "runs" fast and well and is not expensive!
I have not had it long enough to judge its reliability, but I have never had any problems with this brand's products.
Very fast, file transfers are extremely fast and the Ubuntu 20-04 bone starts in less than 30 seconds, it's great!
Mounted on asrock Z390 phantom gaming 4 motherboard. Easy installation and instant system recognition. W10 installation on new pc. Taken for the reputation of the brand. One star less for the price too high compared to the competition.
Once installed on the motherboard, installation of Windows 10 with 16?go on board, boot time 8 seconds watch in hand who says better?
