Kingston NV1 500G M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe Internal SSD Up to 2100 MB/s SNVS/500G

Got this for my living room gaming PC. These are great for modern video games that have long load times on a HDD. Check your motherboard first though. If you only have Gen 2 PCIe then you could probably find a cheaper one as this is a Gen 3 SSD. It would still be much faster than a HDD.

Recomendado, funciona a la perfección

Nice

Es excelente para cargar rápido los juegos y el sistema operativo

I put this in my laptop and no REGERTS(lol), its fast, and cheap

Its amazing that something about the size of a stick of gum can hold so much data. Installed in my wifes dell inspiron laptop that came with an HDD with the help of some great youtube tutorials. Fresh install of windows and formatted the old HDD, which is now used as a backup. The whole process only took a couple hours and the laptop is now insanely fast and backed up weekly using freesync. Couldnt be happier.

was compatible with my Aorus motherboard and the windows 11 operating system. it reads new volume, and shows up in Disk management.

This is a SINGLE-SIDED 2TB disk, with QLC flash chips and DRAM-less controller. If your write performance is very bad, make sure the entire SSD is covered with a thermal pad, or the underside is as well (if there is room). I picked this disk because it was EXTREMELY cheap relative to the other QLC SSDs on Amazon, and I knew it had no cache coming in. The reason for the rating is the sensitivity to temperature since not all consumers will know about this issue upon purchase, as well as the price have increased tremendously since the time that I bought two. It seems that the memory chips run REALLY hot on this SSD when in use, so, it throttles down to about 160-180MB/s (still pretty fast) if it gets too hot during intense write sessions. I suggest, putting a thermal pad of about 2x2cm over the controller area (where the silver/black chip is near the connector) and a larger one on the NAND chips, or one covering the entire SSD. YMMV. This SSD, being cacheless, WILL slow down to 120-180MB/s when the SLC-mode runs out of room since there is NO DRAM cache. This SSDs TBW is actually very decent for QLC memory. Just dont repeatedly fill and empty the disk and itll last the typical person a decade or much longer. In fact, the TBW is just the warranty span to my knowledge, being that some (forgot the link) have tested MLC, TLC, and QLC and have found the disks to have far higher TBW before failure than advertised. The reason these disks show as 1.81TB is because the other 190GB is overprovisioned space. The same is true of my old Toshiba XG3, which is advertised as a 1024GB Client SSD, which has a total of 954GB usable, so about 7% is overprovisioning. The Kingston disk has about 10% overprovisioned, so it is likely that, that space divided by four (correct me if wrong) may still be used as write/scratch space, despite the lack of a DRAM cache. Its not all bad. P.S. Remember to use a credit card to purchase things like this to get the added warranty if your card has that!

Works great, no issues as a normal user, for gaming and light work loads.

Planning to buy another one
