Boasting read/write speeds of up to 2,200/2,000MB/s, A2000 delivers 3x the performance of a SATA SSD with quicker loading times, less power consumption and lower heat. A2000 SSD is designed for the entry-level user, purpose-built system manufacturer, DIY system builder and those seeking to upgrade their PC. With a single-sided slim M.2 design, A2000 works to its full potential when installed in an Ultrabook or a small-form-factor PC (SFF PC) system.

Very fast.
It go fast. Load quick. Nyoom speed.
Problems with Linux and Mac OS x
There is a known firmware bug with this SSD that causes lockups with non-windows operating systems. Work arounds are possible but need a bit of work.
Best value as of the moment.
If you are thinking of upgrading your hard drive to nvme ssd this one is the best value to date. fast and reliable! highly recommended!
Good value for money
Purchased as second SSD drive for my son's custom built PC - he had no issue installing and system BIOS and Windows picked it up perfectly.
Very happy with the purchase.
No problems
Good performance, working as advertised
Fast as and great price
I placed the order in the afternoon and collected the order under lvl3 at Penrose on the same day! Great service, Thanks PB Tech
Crazy reliable
I have been using these as cache drives non-stop, 24/7 on my Synology DS2018+ for close to two years now and they are just like workhorses. They are built for 24/7 operation.
Speedy Boi!
Best value m.2 going - good speeds, and a good price.
No brainer.
Not impressed
I managed to kill this within 48 hours. Apparently overheating under heavy continuous writing loads is not uncommon for this form factor and while the design of the case it was in has to share the blame somewhat it did have a heat transfer pad between the card and the aluminium chassis. I've never killed an M.2 drive before (I have several in constant use) so I was not impressed that it didn't go into thermal backoff or some kind of protection mode. I didn't bother replacing this but I happened to have a spare in a computer I decommissioned a while ago. That's surviving just fine in the same case. Cheap SSDs aren't worth saving a few bucks.
I cannot fault the SSD, good price, good value
I have been using the SSD in my MacBook Air for the last 2 or so months. I had to buy a converter to make it fit, but that was all part of the plan. This is great value for money. So far it has been reliable and has caused no issues for me what so ever. The MacBook runs well and now has about 4 times the storage capacity.
Great budget ssd
Great little ssd, good for the price, great little boot drive
Nice little drive
Purchased this to replace a failed one. Took the opportunity to upgrade the size. Works as expected and was a really good price for a local product.
