Good value for money

Bought this as a cheap boot drive for a linux-based media server. No complaints!

Unbeatable Value.

If you're trying to get past having an old mechanical hard drive, these are the perfect alternative. Though the speeds are incomparable to NVMe SSDs, the jump in performance from an HDD to this SSD is tremendous. Well worth the price paid!

This was used to replace my mother's dying HDD in her laptop and she has been incredibly happy with the performance bump.

Good but not amazing

SSD Capacity: 240GB

Needed more fast storage. My M.2 was pretty full and needed some quicker storage. Is reasonably fast but no where near as fast as stated. No drivers etc found as suspected this could have been the issue. Seems to be just not a 540mb read drive. Guess it is theoretical speed rather than actual.

Great budget SSD but not especially fast

Much, much faster than any hard drive, but has a few slow stutters for an SSD. But great value considering the low price. Would spend an extra 10-15% and get the MX500 next time.

Great replacement for internal PS4 drive

SSD Capacity: 1TB

Purchased this to replace the internal hard drive for my PS4. Have noticed a significant decrease in load times for a lot of games, and the extra ~500GB of storage is nice as well.

Must have upgrade for any PC with a normal HDD

SSD Capacity: 240GB

Great upgrade. My PC starts up and is ready to go in seconds.

I should have done this years ago.

Good quality product and no issues for about a month now.

If I had to go back I would buy one with a larger capacity, but this is fine for now.

Fantastic quality mid-tier SSD

Highly recommended. Good read and write speeds. Using mine in an enclosure as a portable movie drive. Far better than a flash drive.
