Timetec 1TB SSD 3D NAND TLC SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5 Inch 7mm (0.28) 800TBW Read Speed Up to 550 MB/s SLC Cache Performance Boost Internal Solid State Drive for PC Computer Desktop and Laptop (1TB)

This drive works well enough for my needs. It is not the fastest drive on the market however it works well for my primary computer needs. Which is internet browsing bill paying and shopping online.

Upgrading and older iMac (2013) and adding this and a 1TB nvme to a not as old 2017 iMac. Once I got the iMacs open (Thanks for nothing Apple), installed and initialized in the iMacs, getting really close to advertised speeds, And so far no issues. Made a huge difference in both computers, way zippier, than before. That being said I dont blame with them, one is used for daily stuff, Office apps, web browsing, and other not too awful apps. The 2917 I use Photoshop, and other creative (video, audio, drawing and 3d) software. So I am slinging around some fairly large files as well as lots of small to medium ones. It does kinda big down after many moves and copy tos, BUT still way faster that the old mechanical hard drive. And I dont sling that many very often, so for most swell f the time I am very happy with the drive. The final word will be longevity/durability. As I make sure I have at least one back up, I am not screwed if one dies. Not happy, but not the end of the world. (No excuse for NOT having a back-up with the prices of ssd and hdds so cheap, or cloud backup. Just saying). So providing you have a decent back-up process, and regardless of what drive(s) you use, you should, this is an excellent buy.

If you need a cheap fast boot drive, this is perfect!

Perfect easy to install. Great product.

The Timetec 1tb M2 ssd is definitely great value for your money. If you don’t want to drop $100 on a name brand ssd and don’t necessarily care about a few milliseconds in difference of loading speed in your games or large files then definitely get this ssd. I will say the speed of this SSD is a little slow compared to others but it is really great for the price. Great starter ssd or even an additional ssd to add some storage for non-essential files

Id like to say up front that this was my first SSD, so I had mixed feeling about changing from a HDD ( In this case, a WD Black 750 GB) which I had updated/upgraded from Windows 7 Pro to 10 Pro, using Acronis True Image 11, which Im familiar with and comfortable using. I had problems right away with the size difference, which Ive also had experience with and usually handled by using a manual method of partition-sizing, but had difficulty with this time. I finally decided to clone my source drive to another HDD (1TB) and try again...still had problems, but ended up using another HDD cloned backup with 7 Pro to make a successful cloning of the new SSD (both 1 TB) and finally doing a new update/upgrade to the SSD, now containing 7 Pro, to Windows 10 Pro. Note: after doing this last cloning of the SSD I noticed a message about a driver being installed for a new device which turned out to be the new SSD. This was the first time I noticed this message....the good news is everything now seems just fine - all is well. Long story short - Im happy with my choice of upgrading to Windows 10 and an SSD....I can hardly wait to move up to 2TB.

I ordered the wrong M.2 for my computer, and they contacted me, and sent the correct one. Im sure this doesnt happen often.

I got it to move my online storage backup, not planning to use it very often. The copy process was fast under a 500Mb fiber connection. Its stored again by using the original packing which Id add some more info and the brand colors. Im happy with the SSD so far.

so simple to get the basic parts and make your own SSD bkups today. save $$ going for the 3.5 in adaptor too for us Old Machines.

great value and performance! has been installed for a few days and ive run some benchmarks and it performs very well. made couple old laptops much quicker for a good price. i would absolutely buy more of these in the future if i need more 2.5 SSDs! (just an FYI, these come in just a plastic clamshell with no cables/screws/anything else... so if you need anything to install it like screws, cables etc you will need to buy those separately)
