I am using this drive with a Sabrent 10Gbps enclosure as a super flash drive. This drive is so slow, I rarely can saturate the 10Gbps interface. It is fine for the application but I wouldnt use it as a boot drive in a PC. Night and day better than any flash drive but it would be a seriously gnarly downgrade as a C drive. Well see how it holds up. This review could get worse. I dont see it getting better.

Good

Useing this as a secondary working SSD for photo editing, it works well enough, its not going to win any speed races, but for the price is a steal.

1TB NVME for ~$40 is insane for the price.

I installed it on my Dell Precision 7530 as a second storage with no issue.

I trust the company so you know what I mean.

Ive had this as my boot drive for over half a year and its still going strong. Load times into any OS is fast and operations are expedient. I havent noticed any thermal issues yet, so thats nice.

I have been wanting to upgrade to an nvme for some time now but the prices have finally gone down to where I want them. I saw a deal on the silicon power a60 posted on the pc builder youtube channel and while that drive was cheaper by a few dollars, in going thru the reviews, this one seemed to have fewer issues regarding hardware swaps. Its there mind you and it seems to be the case with most manufacturers at this price point however, it looked to me liked the lottery with team group will have you ending up with slightly less quality drives to the review units sent to tech reviewers at worst. Sometimes, some people ended up with better ones. I hope the drive lasts me just as long as my old APACER sata ssd did and that this one I got has the advertised DRAM cache.

I like the fact that it has a 5 year warranty on the part.

Replaced a 240GB non-NVMe M.2 drive with this 1TB NVMe drive and my DDR4 computer performance improved greatly. Though this increase might have been due to reloading Windows 10 on the new drive, so I cant say for sure it was this drive. In my opinion, if you have an M.2 slot this is better than an SATA, and the cost of this drive made it more practical than a smaller drive. The system I put it in is not generally used, For over a year I have been trying to find a replacement for Windows Media Center for doing OTA (over the air recording) so I can stop using my old DDR2 Windows 7 system which is getting flaky (paranoia: suspect MS sabotage).
