- Good Budget NVME - Jaco, 23 May 2019
Never heard of this product, but bought it.
One of the best purchases I've made.
I've tested the read speeds on Fallout 4 (modded) and my results for load times were as follow:
5400RPM HDD = 1m 25sec
Samsung EVO 850 SSD = 25 sec
Mushkin 500 Gig NVME = 15 sec
Fantastic product at a good price, especially if you can get it on a sale.
Highly recommended if you use a standard HDD for a laptop. - Goed! - Shaun, 21 May 2019
Die nvme is n monster! Windows 10 installasie in 10 minute! Ultimate kan sien hoekom mense vir hierdie maak gaan.
- Perfect Budget NVMe and First timer builds - Aaron, 7 May 2019
This drive is good, loads fast and very cheap for its performance* and storage space offered.
Would recommend it for either first time builders or as extra storage.
But for rela enthusiast then I would look at Samsung Evo NVMe for best possible performance, but for casual pc gamers that is looking for good cheap NVMe this is the way to go!
*Haven't tested it yet, but as for as from usage, program/gaming, it loads faster than my 2.5" SSD - *** fast and easy to install - Marthinus, 12 April 2019
This drive is fast, not as fast as the Samsung 970 EVO but considering what quality, and performance you are getting for this price, this is an awesome upgrade if you are coming from a regular spin up hard drive.
If you are planning to upgrade from an SSD, you'll still feel the difference for the most part.
Fits great, regardless of the proximity to the GPU PCI-E x16 slot. Doesn't come with screws so check if your motherboard has the required screw in place and ready to use. - Brilliant - NITRO, 10 April 2019
Performance in great, good quality build and at a very good price.
- Great performance. - Nathan, 11 February 2019
I was a bit sceptical when I bought this SSD but after I put it in my machine the performance blew me away. The price to performance ratio is great. I highly reccomened this SSD if you have an m.2 slot.
