TEAMGROUP GX2 512GB 3D NAND TLC 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal Solid State Drive SSD (Read Speed up to 530 MB/s) Compatible with Laptop & PC Desktop T253X2512G0C101

I have bought just about every brand of SSD on the market for use in repairs, testing, etc. Recently bought this to upgrade a clients laptop and was quite impressed. Speeds arent top level as compared to some other larger brand SSDs, but still provides zippy transfers, improved boot time, and improved loading times. For the price, you certainly wont find better at this price point. Would certainly buy for customer upgrades and everyday use. This is just from a personal preference standpoint..the sticker on this think makes it look cheap. I like TeamGroups Vulcan stickers; makes it look a little more premium. Im not counting that against this product because its pretty solid; just an observation. Overall, a good drive for everyday use and would defintely buy again.

The product works well and as designed

Having just received this new, it was formatted for the first time in a hdd enclosure without problem. I have not benchmarked it, but I suspect it will function on par with other SSD in its class. Only time will tell how welll it holds up. Thats the only real reason I gave it only 4 stars instead of 5. I may change that rating later based on performance later. I cant speak for modern gaming speeds. There are better options out there for that. But as a simple upgrade from a mechanical hard drive or smaller/older ssd, you will likely notice some performance increase. For the price, its an affordable replacement or upgrade.

Not the fastest, not the slowest. Massive upgrade from a spinning drive. Never have had one fail from TeamGroup.

Perfect thing to speed up an older system on the cheap.

I really like this drive. A great value and the drive works perfectly. I bought a second one for another laptop. All of the Team Group products I have purchased have worked exceptionally well.

I bought this to use as a secondary drive for some more space as the NVMe drive on my gaming laptop runs Windows and is only 258gb. So I cant tell you how well it boots or runs windows. I wont post any CrystalDiskMark scores because what we really want is real world usage and nobody really gets those scores. Easy to install other than a few broken fingernails getting the back of the laptop off. Cmos disk error on reboot because I disconnected the battery during install but Windows fixed on reboot. Used the disk manager to initialize and allocate to drive D. Im posting some screenshots. C is my Windows Hynix NMMe drive. D is the Teamgroup AX 512gb SSD drive and E is my microSD card. Copying 160gb from my SD card to the Teamgroup drive took about 40 minutes. Not bad considering it was coming from a flash that doesnt read so fast. The Desktop (C) to Data were a windows 10 and 11 ISO files. The D to New folder is an example copying a file from D to D, in which it has to read and write at the same time. So there is some examples of real-world use. Speeds will vary depending on if youre copying from another drive, flash drive or within the drive as you can see. Fastest speed I saw was 450 mbps. Overall, Im more than happy with it. Considering I was getting write times in the 20s and 30s on my SD card this is super-fast. Would I have gotten faster speeds if I had bought a WD, Crucial or Samsung? Maybe. But not enough to justify the extra money. As far as longevity is concerned, lets just say that Ive never had a drive fail on me since I began using computers in the 90s. So take this for whatever its worth. Good deal at $28.

Still working now. Great!

Easy to install using Acronis software. Made a huge difference in the performance of this old laptop!
