- Measured benchmark speeds meet advertised speeds - Heatsink is unlikely to interfere with components - 5 year warranty

Great drive

it was easy to work with.

This is a excellent item as so far Samsung item have always been and the software support is great to. I will use this one in a laptop should work out great over all. Not much to add its still a great item I love them always work so far!!

Was part of a bundle deal cant complain works good

- Much faster than my other SATA drives.

WOW 68 $ I BOUGHT 2 I HAVE 2 OF THE BLACK ONES HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS

Seems to work fine with full capacity


- good packaging. - this is a single sided SSD (500 GB).

Was worried the heatsink would inpinge on the graphics card, and it was close! Check your measurements carefully. As a happy accident it is now catching air off the graphics card exhaust hopefully its a net cooling but who knows. The heat spreader that came with the MB was useless so I'm glad I got something with a HS already attached. sequential read only is even close to 14K, IOPS read though is 4.7 GB! really nice! And you can tell the speed when installing software or moving data.

Install is pretty simple and using is as easy as any other USB device

Easy to install in a MAIWO M.2 SATA and NVMe Combo SSD Enclosure. I can boot Linux from this external drive -- Fedora Linux from one partition and Pop_os Linux from another.

Nice budget SSD

Built a PC from parts laying around for my sister. Needed a good boot drive without giving her one of my NVMe drives. Windows installed quickly and it is working plenty fast enough. It doesn't boot any slower than my 950 Pro did with the same MB, memory and processor.

First use was to create a windows 11 system image from an M2 C: to D: on this device. Now I have this to examine those old SSD SATA and M2 drives without opening the PC case. Works on spin SATA drives as well. Also used to clone a 512GB M2 to a 2TB M2.

CrystalMark 7 results Read 3427.53 Write 3107.15 note these speeds equal (read) and exceed stated specs (write). Packed well, arrived quickly, installed easily Installed using an adapter into short PCIe Gen 3.0 x 4 Slot in my Dell XPS 8900

Definite boost in performance over the previous SSD. It lives in a Dell Precision workstation and bumped up performance about 33%.

Cheap but excellent SSD enclosure
