Decided to be a Guinea pig and try one of these sata drives out. So far everything has been fine, will update if I run into any problems

2 rubber plugs, a sticky thermal pad and a heat sink came with the casing.

The 2TB Crucial P310 comes with a great quality heatsink and was easy to install in my motherboard's spare PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slot. The 5 year warranty should bring peace of mind. Performance when the drive is nearly empty is great. Benchmark results are similar to my 2TB competitor's Pro version (which is half full), and faster in some tests. It's significantly quicker than my 2TB QVO SSD, as expected since that one is a SATA drive.


- high 2TB capacity - very solid higher mid pack speeds for the money - excellent drive for the money - it's been perfectly stable

- 2 TB for the price is phenomenal - Speeds are pretty good, obviously limited by SATA III

I like that the heatsink is optional. Speeds and the duration of disk performance are excellent, doesn't seem to bog down under load. I would highly recommend this as a performance drive.


I was a little leery about buying this, having been burned in times past, but I'm happy to report it does exactly what it says: Makes a true SAS hard drive visible via USB. I tested it under Linux (Kubuntu 24.04 LTS), with an old HP 146GB 2.5" drive, and experimented with both wxHexEditor and the standard Linux partition editor. I was able to, with the hex editor, literally step through every sector/byte on the drive and easily alter or search. This is a Great Thing for file recovery and similar disk forensics. As far as the partition editor goes, I was able to create a standard FAT32 partition on the SAS disk and write/read files on it. Was it the fastest thing on the planet? Of course not. You're going through the overhead of a USB port plus the USB-to-SAS bridge circuitry. But it WORKED!

-Faster than I thought it would be considering I'm stuck with SATA for a while -I installed MSFS2020 (a 130GB simulator without addons) in I believe less than an hour, which made me very happy! -ALL disk health parameters optimal upon arrival, according to S.M.A.R.T. -I had it air mailed across the US and the box was tiny enough to keep it from moving in the box at all. Not a scratch when I got it.

So far, so good! no problems so far. Purchased 2 and only installed one. Great price.


Runs fast downloads fast

well it's Samsung, plus latest model, so as expected everything good so far, hope it runs for years! enjoying it so far! extremely fast.

The sale price. FREE shipping. Easy to install hard drive. Only takes two screws to install the HDD. Works beautifully. No complaints.


Very pleased with the ease of purchase, delivery, and installation of the device.


Works well.
