256GB M.2 NVMe Internal 2280 SSD

I ordered this on Auckland Anniversary Day, and expected to wait an additional day for its arrival. But no: it arrived the next morning, sent from Wellington. Cunning, and much appreciated.

The no-name SSD worked out just fine as a replacement for the three year old Samsung EVO which our NAS had chewed to bits before spitting it out. Figuratively, you understand.

Again, I appreciate PBTech's prices, quality and service. Always top notch. I ordered this on Auckland Anniversary Day, and expected to wait an additional day for its arrival. But no: it arrived the next morning, sent from Wellington. Cunning, and much appreciated.

They are much faster than my previous Sata ssds and work just as well as more expensive options. SMART data seems good. Have not had any problems yet with these drives.

I got a pm991a. It works and there is barely any wear on the drive. You must put a thermal pad and some metal on the chips or the temps won't be that great. I got a pm991a.

Surprisingly snappy for the price. Used as a boot drive in a compact HTPC — Windows 11 loads fast, no hiccups. Single-notch 2280 format fit cleanly, and thermals stayed cool under light gaming. Great value for plug-and-play builds. Surprisingly snappy for the price. Used as a boot drive in a compact HTPC — Windows 11 loads fast, no hiccups.

Bought on special for 30. For the money it was good value. Kioxia bg6. 3500 read, 2900 write. Bought on special for 30. For the money it was good value. Kioxia bg6. 3500 read, 2900 write.

I needed more capacity than an SD card, so I threw this 256GB NVMe SSD into an enclosure. Done. I needed more capacity than an SD card, so I threw this 256GB NVMe SSD into an enclosure. Done.

I have used this as a medicat usb and it is amazing. It’s not being used everyday but it is everything I wanted for the job I have it for.

Purchased this along with an enclosure which proved faulty and has to be returned. Installed it in an enclosure attached to MacMini
And worked no problem. Really cost effective option to store photos on hen I source another enclosure.
Pb Tech handled the purchase and return of enclosure in typically efficient manner. Purchased this along with an enclosure which proved faulty and has to be returned. Installed it in an enclosure attached to MacMini

Got this and another during the Winter sale and have started using them as spare storage using very cheap M.2 NVMe to PCI-E adapters. Got this and another during the Winter sale and have started using them as spare storage using very cheap M.2 NVMe to PCI-E adapters.
