- Well priced speedy drive - James, 3 July 2025
All my ports will fill with my nvme's but I still wanted something quality to test a Bazzite install with games, drive is working perfectly so far. Can't see any slow down or performance issues while playing CyberPunk, Battlefront 2, AtomFall compared to my windows on nvme. Great purchase
- Fabulous - Nabeelah, 4 November 2024
I use it to install all my games and they have all been running perfectly so far. Even my old graphics card has stopped crashing since I took the old HDD out and replaced it with this one. I don't even know how that works.
- Great product - Gavin, 24 October 2024
Delivery was fast and efficient and the product performs better than expected. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking. Thank you to Wootware for exceptional service.
- Amazing for the price - Bijoy, 21 July 2024
Damn fast for its price range. Bought this to replace the aging 5400rpm hdd on a 2018 laptop with a dual core cpu and it has a new life now.
- Mushkin MKNSSDS21TB Source 2 1TB 2.5" - Morné, 30 May 2024
The Mushkin MKNSSDS21TB Source 2 1TB 2.5" is what is says on the box.
SATA SSD, 600MB/s performance. It actually surprised me when in use. It sustained a large copy from an NVMe drive at near 600MB/s for the whole copy. This means the DRAM cache is big enough for large writes, and the controller is good at its work.
We shall see on the endurance of the drive over time, but the warranty is sufficient. - Really a Good Product - Sir Rascus, 18 May 2024
This drive will blow your mind. This drive is cool and fast. Lets me start saying that this drive runs at 25C max under full load and when not using at 21C(I am using a Montech Air 100 Lite Case). I installed windows on this and still on crystal disk mark(software) it sayus the reads is 564.17MB/s and writes at 521.95MB while running windows on it. Random reads and writes are as follow: Random 4k Reads(Q1T1) is 38.57MB/s(really good), and Random 4k Writes(Q1T1) 86.03MB/s. This drive has extremely good reads and writes because of the good memory controller, low temps, good modern nand flash memery and has some dram in it. If you want a quality drive that runs fast and can gives good random reads and writes while staying cool get yourself this product. You cant go wrong getting this drive.
- Solid product at a Solid price! - Bradley , 24 November 2023
Got this as an upgrade for an ageing PC, after it was using the same HDD for ten years. The performance improvement is amazing. PC boot times, disk read/write speeds and game loading speeds are now much faster. Money well spent. Bradley
- Great value drive! - Mark, 13 November 2023
Decided it was time to upgrade the storage in my laptop, had one slot open for sata, and this was a really good price. I've been playing some games in almost 40° heat and the drive doesn't even get a bit toasty. Its performance is great, particularly at the price point. Would absolutely recommend this buy, great product overall, great price, and wootware always delivers top class service too! Order arrived 3 days earlier than anticipated.
- Good price, Good Drive - Jacques, 28 September 2023
Ordered on Tuesday, received on Friday and I live all the way up in the North in Limpopo. The ssd is solid, performs great.
- Great! - Damian, 18 September 2023
Even for a smaller lesser known brand, it's a good priced SSD, and is just as fast as any other sata SSD :)
(Well I guess technically not as fast as ANY other sata SSD but c'mon people, we're basically comparing a Ferrari to a Lamborghini here, they're both REALLY fast) - Cannot Fault - Leon, 30 June 2023
Have grabbed a few Mushkin products from Wootware and have come to expect the products performance of doing what it says on the box. Delivers as expected and I cannot fault any SSD or NVMe that I have bought in the pass. Good product at a great price!
- Excellent Value - Ari, 24 April 2023
The Mushkin Source 2 is excellent value . It may not be PCIe4.0 , but still plenty fast to upgrade laptop old school platter drive . Thanks Wootware !
- Amazing service - Cj, 9 March 2023
This is my 2de ssd from wootware and i am so happy with there service.
I installed the ssd with no problem and it is working 100%
Tank you Wootware for you amazing service and i will buy from you again - My Purchase Experience - George, 26 August 2022
I ordered the product on Sunday. Chose Fed Ex 1-2 business day option the payment cleared on Monday FedEx only picked up the product at Warehouse on Wednesday received on Friday from RTT Couriers. Received in very well packed (with bubble wrap) around SSD in excellent condition. Am very happy with online purchase process directly from Wootware but am not happy having to wait almost a week to receive the product even when I chose the most expensive Courier option definitely wanted it insured delivery that's why I paid extra for it. For a product to just get a label printed and packed and to get stuck at a location for 1 whole day is completely unacceptable and it continued at the other hubs as well. I must say I'm from Klerksdorp so I sort of understand the delay especially with Cape Town and Klerksdorp Locations being over 1300km apart but honestly almost 4 whole days when I paid extra for 2. Come on Fed Ex you really dropped the ball on the one. You need to get your house in order.
- Value for money - Nicholas, 20 January 2022
Highly recommended for gaming and general use
- Happy customer - Julian , 29 December 2021
I have these drives for a week now and Im happy with their performance. Ive never heard of this brand before, but so far so good.
Wootware sent me the drives the day after ordering, so well done guys for the lightning service. - Gaming Excellence - Andre, 10 September 2021
I rate this drive 10/10. I was not familiar with the brand name. But with a 3 year warranty and for the price it was something I had to try. Very happy with the drive. I have been playing games off a 1TB 7200rps hard drive for so long. Moving to the Sata M.2 was well worth it as games load a lot faster now. Thank you Wootware for excellent service.
- Reliable, Fast - Michiel, 28 June 2021
Great product. Works as expected. Easy to use and quite fast. It's currently hosting our ARK server cluster and so far none of the players have experienced lag or rubberbanding usually associated with a slow hard drive.
- 5 Stars - Will, 24 June 2021
Always happy to shop at Wootware. Have ordered quite a few of their SSD's & Laptop's.
Very happy with their quality & prices. - Happy with my purchase - Lindes, 7 May 2021
I've had my new SSD for around a week now, it's been functioning well and it is definitely fast. I think it's faster than my Transcend SSD that I already had. This product is also good value since it gives the most storage per price paid.
- Fast SSD Storage at a reasonable price - Jarrod, 17 March 2021
SATA SSD's may seem like an odd choice in the world of M.2 NVME options, but when upgrading an old laptop that has a 2.5" HDD it's a simple process with fantastic results. Everything is snappy and fast with the new drive.
Yes, it's not as fast as an M.2, but I don't know if the jump from SATA SSD to M.2 would be noticeable, certainly not in the way that the jump from HDD to SSD was.
I'm very happy with my purchase. - Decent price for great change in performance - Barry, 15 February 2021
Moving from an old HDD to a SSD makes a world of difference to the general user experience. Have not had the drive for long now, but already the difference is visible when editing images or coding and running docker images locally
- Amazing - Wil, 25 January 2021
Had a few options when it came to my secondary SSD and ultimately decided to go with this.
- Read/write speeds are as described
- stays really cool, even under long usage like gaming (under 27 in a Corsair 4000D Airflow case)
Looking to add another one to my build soon, 10/10 would recommend
