  • Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    Runs fairly cool and very fast

    Great Gen 4x4 2TB SSD that won't break the bank, and gets you nearly same performance of ones that cost much more. I was able to install this into the Asus ROG Ally X with no problems at all. It doesn't get any hotter in the ROG Ally X than the 1TB model it replaced in the ROG Ally X. I would not install this with a heatsink in the Ally X, but just re use the thermal pad that is in the stock Ally X SSD. While there is a bit of room there, you need to get the battery cable on the ROG Ally X over the top of the SSD and if you have a heatsink you may not be able to clear that height.
