38 out of 100 medium confidence 16 reviews
This budget M.2 SATA SSD receives mixed reviews. While some users find it a cheap, simple upgrade for basic tasks, several report severe issues like random freezes, early failure signs within a month, and a lack of DRAM cache leading to increased wear. The drive is not recommended for heavy workloads, and some suggest spending more on a reputable brand like Samsung.
