Mushkin MKNSSDVT2TB-D8 Vortex 2TB PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe M.2 2280 Solid State Drive

Great value is a very small package. This is really fast and a decent size capacity drive for upgrading my son's gaming PC to the next level. He's very happy with the extra space and increased speed

This is my second Mushkin SSD.

Best value at the time of purchase when comparing to the alternatives at the same price point.

Good speeds at a good price. Highly recommend.

Again I just get Excellent & prompt service from Wootware.
Websitye order process is the most effective I have seen. Find exactly what you look for, all the important details. Ordering & follow-up communication are tops. Couriers are excellent.
Thank you!

Would I pay more for a product at Wootware, yes! Mushkin works flawlessly on my system and would highly recommended the brand. 5 Year warranty and really good read and write performance plus good value for money.

Used as a boot drive and purely for gaming.
This drive is a peach. Incredibly fast read and write speeds.
Although there is cheaper on the market this drive is fantastic value for the money.

Will be buying my second one soon!!

It's blazing fast and super stable. Long copies don't tend to slow down, even in a cramped laptop. Don't waste the extra cash on a Samsung drive, this is just as good and costs half as much.

Installed this as my primary boot drive.
I have had no issues with it.
Boot times are fantastic
Games are loading fast
Its a really fast SSD. Just note it is PCIe 4.0, if your motherboard doesn't support 4.0, the drive will work but you will not experience its actual full speed.

Good service fast delivery as usual. Usually order from you guys and tried Evetech for my last order and it went terribly wrong. Will stick to you guys in the future.

Firstly, kudos to the WootWare team, for their support and professional service on this item.

Installed this in my new WootBook Laptop and not regretting it.

Running on office mode, the system run cool as a stand-alone unit.
Doing gaming on balanced/turbo mode, as with any laptop, it tends to run a bit hot. I would strongly advise in setting up some cooling for doing gaming.

Overall rating, 10/10

This drive like all NVME drives is a pleasure to install and it is fast as heck and costs as much as a SATA ssd. A fantastic deal.

what a excellent product at a reasonable price ,definitely recommended for any gamer on a budget

Quick deliver on my items, thank you! Quality products as always from WootWare!
Mushkin MKNSSDVT2TB-D8 Vortex 2TB PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe M.2 2280 Solid State Drive is super fast.

I'm using the SSD for my OS and my more demanding games, and so far it's worked brilliantly. Even though it's quite full at this stage, I haven't noticed any decrease in speed, and load-times remain blindingly fast. Considering the price and quality, it's an easy recommendation.

I've been following this NVMe for a while now, for the price it has no equal. With the prices of M.2's crashing there is literally no better time to buy one. I was sceptical when someone posted saying this doesn't work on the PS5 rest assured this works perfectly fine with

Sequential Read Speed: Up to 7,415 MB/s

Sequential Write Speed: Up to 6,800 MB/s

It's more than up to the task, FYI you would need to get a Heatsink I bought one from Wootware with this drive the

Orico M2HS1-YL M.2 2280 Copper Single & Double-Sided Solid State Drive Heatsink with Thermal Pad

However the copper is nice and propper but the assembly was terrible it comes with 2 thin pads and 1 thick however when trying to close everything together it would struggle it has clamps on the side and not screws so look for a different cooler even though I couldn't test the temps with the PS5 I had no issues also one last thing what I've noticed about the drive the label where it says VORTEX it's actually a copper plate a nice touch heat wise.

Thanks WOOTWARE

I think the Mushkin MKNSSDVT2TB-D8 Vortex 2TB PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe M.2 2280 Solid State Drive is definitely one that will improve your professional workflow by being the solid state drive that it actually is. Good money spent for good product earned!

Saved 30% for this drive, we use it for Unreal engine and 3D rendering. Still no issues and is stable. Has a 4 star rating internationally and has been reviewed by Gamers Nexus. 100% would recommend compared to other brands.

M.2 runs very hot but it runs very fast.

Pros
Great Price to performance ratio
no issues installing
easy to unpackage

Cons
None thus far - really great product

If you looking to upgrade your current HDD or SSD i recommend this NVME you wont go wrong

These SSD's are really fast, they have really increased my productivity noticeably. I am always happy to order from Wootware, fast, efficient and professional. I never have to follow up on my order which I have to do with so many online commerce sites.

While it is a little "late" and has come out right on the heels of PCI-e 5.0 SSD's, the price you pay for how stupidly fast these drives are is outstanding.

It's barely any more expensive than its PCI-e 3.0 siblings and is also worlds cheaper than the other brands while offering way more performance.

With the price of the 2TB drives being as low as they are these make a great option for single-drive systems and SFF builds where you just cant fit more storage but don't want to sacrifice performance or take a knock to your budget

This is the second drive of this type I ordered, running just as well as the first one. I liked it so much, especially for the special price it was on, I even got a friend one as well.

Delivery with DawnWing and CourierGuy was quick and efficient.

Thank you Wootware team!

I emailed Mushkin regarding PS5 compatibility after reading 2 conflicting reviews, & they promptly verified the drive to be compatible. Bought the SSD on Thursday and got it on Friday (Awesome service, thanks Wootware!). The PS5 recognized the device and successfully formatted it responding with a 5,836MB/s read rate achieved. Initially I installed it without a heatsink, but without the latter the SSD chips heat up within seconds to likely over 60°C case temp. I stuck on a simple one-sided-thermal-contact heatsink, played Witcher 3 for about 5 - 10 minutes, and so far so good. I'll definitely upgrade the heatsink to make thermal contact with the chips on both sides of the SSD PCB. I did not replace the PS5 M.2 enclosure cover plate after installation, to allow convective heat extraction via airflow over the heatsink fins.

I don't think you can get better in this price range. It seems to compete well against other brands that are close to double the price. Some say that it's TBW rating doesn't necessarily compare, but it seems close enough for the price (this one has 1000TBW compared to the very expensive ones having around 1200TBW).

Added this 2TB into a laptop to create space as the other disk in the laptop is 2TB (a Mushkin Tempest) and out of capacity. And WOW - the speed on this SSD drive is REAL - managed 7111MB/s read and 6666MB/s write as measured by ChrystalDiskMark 8.04. Initially the Tempest's drive speed was good but now the yardstick is next level. No hassles installing or getting it to work as expected. One small snag is the laptop does not provide adequate an heat sink and this drive did not take long to get the alarm bells going. Granted the copying of large VHD (virtual drive files) is not an every day occurrence for most, this heat did get a sudden unwanted shutdown more than once while trying to figure out what was going on. Still, lighting fast booting and moving around of very large images is a big deal when working with large images. Now shopping for adequate cooling inside the laptop. Thank you Wootware, a good product at a very reasonable price for the speed and warranty that comes with it. Still giving it 5 stars.

Great product at a good price. Speeds as advertised. Great for a secondary games drive

I've always been a big fan of Mushkin. I've never had any problems with any of their products so of course I looked to them for my RAM and SSD for my new build. I'm glad I did because this thing is blazing fast.

absolutely operates as described.
Speeds as stated
user benchmark tested and thus:
345% is an exceptional SSD score. This drive is suitable for heavy workstation use, it will facilitate fast boots, responsive applications and allow for fast transfers of multi-gigabyte files.
Thanks to the WOOTWARE team for all the communication...

Bought this one for as an additional SSD for my PC, but I made sure to first pop it into my PS5 to see if it will work. Installed very easily (without a heatsink attached) and booted up the PS5. Formatted the drive and copied GOW:Ragnarok from the internal SSD in just seconds, after which I booted the game and played for an hour or so. No stutters or hiccups, very happy so far!

I recently replaced my Samsung 960 EVO 256GB boot drive with this Mushkin Redline 2TB, and couldn't be happier.
- Gen 4 sequential access speeds are exceptional
- Random access speeds are also really good.
- Warranty is really decent compared to some other drives on the market
- Price is really excellent for a Gen 4 NVME SSD.

Gen4 speed at a gen3 price - this drive delivers!
Get one...or two.

This thing is blazing fast! Like I kid you not I don't even get to see my reflection in my screen with black or loading screens. That's about it. Affordable, fast, what more do you need?

Installation was super easy it looks cool too. Apparently these run hot but I haven't noticed anything yet heat wise if you have a proper M.2 heatsink on your board then I don't see any issues.

Pro's:
Affordable compared to competition.
Super fast.

Con's
Non so far

I got this on a really good special and it runs perfectly. It was half the price and double the size of my 1TB Corsair MP510 that I bought a few years ago.

Very fast with tons of space. Very happy

Pleasantly surprised and impressed. The drive is fast and the price affordable. Could immediately feel and see the PCIe v4 in action made the PC much more responsive.

This NVMe is worth every penny and the loading speed on this thing is amazing. Got my delivery way before the expected date and it was safely packaged. I would definitely recommend it.

Seems like a great drive but when I installed it on my PS5 the console would shut down when it tries to format it. This is very odd as the drive works on my PC and it has the same controller of the XPG drive which is PS5 compatible. In any case...I couldn't find anything stating this drive wouldn't work on a PS5 but this seems to be the case. So yes...I am disappointed as some sites suggest this drive is PS5 compatible. Also note that the drive does fall behind some of the competitors in some cases but it is still a stonkingly fast drive! Get it for PC...but if you are getting it for your PS5 I would suggest the XPG instead.

My first NVME drive
Easy install, no nonsense with additional cables
Can really see a difference with loading times
