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)

I am a technician, I always buy this product, very good and a fair value, I recommend it!

Makes a great clone drive and will buy again.

Im one to encourage smaller brands by buying from them ahead of the bigger, better known ones. Timetec, being a smaller brand, was no exception. The specs for write-read speed, the 1,800 TBW, the DRAM cache etc were comparable to bigger brands: WD, Samsung SN750, Crucial etc. Now, couple that with all the glowing reviews, and I was willing to give this one a try. My hope was really high on Timetec that I, in fact, bought their 3D NAND SATAIII SSD (1TB) as well. Installed the 2TB stick into my Dell Latitude E7470 with no problems. Installed my Windows 10 and booted up the system. Again, no problems. Then, I installed the CrystalDisk info to check for the SSDs health. And thats when things went south. Now, the health status read 98%. Odd, considering the SSD stick is brand new. So, I ran it again. Same thing. I got in touch with customer service. They replied promptly. Said it was indeed strange. I didnt hold this against them. After all, sometimes one slip through the cracks. So I returned it for a replacement. On receipt, I ran the same health check. Again 98%. I said to myself, maybe its not a big deal. Lets see if the read-write speed is as blistering as advertised. So, rather than a 3,400/3,000 MB/s value, I got readings that were almost HALF that: 1,735.64/1,634.45 MB/s. Now, keep in mind, I mentioned earlier that Id also bought the SATAIII SSD. Well, this experience prompted my running a health check on it too. Fortunately, it came back 100% good. I wasnt quite ready to give up on this NVME SSD, so I somehow tried to convince myself that perhaps the fault was with my laptop. So, I switched out the Timetec, for another fairly up-and-coming brand Inland by Micro Center. Specifically, Inland Premium NVME 2TB. Installed it. Ran a check. Health status 100% good. Enough to convince me to return this Timetec for a refund. Mailed customer service to share my experience and advised them to do a better across-the-board quality control check on this product. They replied with a courteous apology for my unpleasant experience. I wouldve given this a 2 star if not for their prompt CS response. That said, you can take your chances with this 2TB SSD. But off the top of my experience, Id suggest a pass on this one ... for now. Hope this review was helpful. * **************************************************************************************** * UPDATE (12/16/2022): As you can see, Ive upgraded the star rating from 3 stars to 5 stars. And heres why. The previous review (which Ill keep up to give you context) was based on the old logo Timetec. This is me, now, after purchasing the New Logo Timetec. My initial thoughts were: Itll take more than just window dressing the SSD stick with a new plastered-on logo to sway me. Whats under the hood of this newer iteration? Well, thats what I was about to find out. My previous qualms were twofold: 1) The health percentage was under 100%. 98% to be exact. 2) Write/Read speeds were less than half of what they advertised. But, since that time, Ive taken possession of a Dell Precision 5520, which has two SSD slots: One for SATA III SSD, and the other for M.2 NVME SSD. So, as I browsed through Amazon for a new SSD to slot in, Id noticed Timetec had updated their logo. And so I said to myself.Hey, why not give it another try? So glad I did. Trust, I ran a Chrystaldisk info heath check. Came back 100%. Same for the SATAIII SSD. Speed was also close to as advertised. Two thumbs up. Oh, and before I forget, let me add that the average core temp was sub 39 degrees (with a silicone thermal pad). Now I can confidently declare, go get Timetec. Theyre an upcoming US based brand with probably one of the best pricing you can find in the market.

Was quite easy to install this as an addon drive into a Lenovo laptop running Windows 11. Have been using it for about 4 months for backups, etc. No issues whatsoever until now, very good response times on both reads and writes.

For the money its a great investment loads games fast very fast

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)

De muy buena calidad, bastante rapido sin queja alguna

Fast, easy to install

The original ssd in my ancient Minix died. Purchased this as a replacement/upgrade. Installed windows and set this as main drive. Working well and speedier startup than the previous drive.

This is my 2nd purchase of Timetec ssd. VBery reliable. No issues. As fast as a sata ssd can go.
