Games transferred from console storage to this M.2 NVME SSD play OK.
82% found it compatible with various systems, but 18% encountered compatibility issues
I initially had doubts about the product's compatibility with my ps5, as it recommends buying a SSD with heatsink. However, I found it easy to install and it has enough space for my needs.
The SSD with DRAM cache is perfect for an OS drive.
I was unsure if the SSD would be compatible with my ps5, especially since the ps5 recommends buying one with a heatsink. However, I found it easy to install and have enough space for my needs.
If you remove the preinstalled pad, it will void the warranty and the drive may not fit in external enclosures due to its thick foam padding.
82% praised for its lightning-fast read and write speeds, but 18% experienced slower performance
I noticed that the drive came close to its advertised speed in the crystal mark test.
The drive came close to its advertised speed in the crystal mark test.
I can't install a motherboard supplied heatsink on the drive due to its foam heat spreader, which may cause issues with its read/write speed.
I have complained about the slow average write speed of the drive in real-world applications. I copied several hundred GBs of game data to the drive and the average write speed was only 500mb/s. I tested it several times and the drive failed the copy operation twice, and there were 4 corrupt files found after the operation completed.
I detected a read speed of 6300-something MB/s, which is not as claimed by the manufacturer.
80% praised for its rugged durability, while 20% experienced hardware failure
I concluded that the drive controllers perform well for test programs and provide a maximum of 500mb/s write speed in real-world applications, but they are not updatable.
I believe the drive is failing and will only deteriorate further.
It takes almost 45s to 1m:30s to reach full speed every time I plug in the drive.
After 2 months of purchase, I experienced a critical failure with the drive.
67% appreciated its low power consumption, though 33% noticed higher energy usage
I noticed a small latency when loading game sections, but it did not impact gameplay.
While transferring data from my USB SSD to the new drive, I consistently achieved a max write speed of about 500 MB/s, which is expected because of USB.
74% appreciated the silent operation, though 26% noticed some noise
Every time I plug the drive in, it takes almost 45 seconds to 1 minute and 30 seconds to reach full speed.
I experienced issues with the internal-solid-state-drives randomly disappearing on the OS, which negatively impacted their silent operation.
