Added this to my gaming PC to allow more games. I also have Samsung 850 & 860 EVO 500GB drives, a 960 EVO 250GB drive, and an Inland Premium NVME 500GB drive. You'd think that would be enough space, but nope, games are HUGE! Popped this SSD in, initialized it, blah blah blah, firmware was already up-to-date, and started filling it up. Was able to free up some space on my other drives, download a ton more games, and still have half the drive left over. Ran AS SSD benchmark, and this thing performs every bit as good as my Samsung SATA SSDs - was only about 6% slower overall than my Samsung drives, but costs nearly 40% less than the Samsung 2TB TLC NAND equivalent! Don't know about you, but I'm not paying 40% more for 6% performance, especially when it won't be noticeable when loading games. Has the same 5-year warranty as Samsung, as well, backed by Western Digital, which has always come through when needed. Do yourself a favor and save the cash, get the SanDisk Ultra SSD over the Samsung EVO (not worth the extra cost) or QVO (slower and less write resistance)!

The speed is as expected, I'm using this with a USB to SATA enclosure and planning to connect to a Raspberry Pi and use it for storage. here is a capture of the speeds. Note that the USB enclosure is a USB 3.2 (Inateck USB 3.2 Gen 2 Hard Drive Enclosure for 2.5) and my laptop only has USB 3.1, I'm not expecting the speed to be more than 5gbps To compare, I have a Samsung EVO 870 1TB and the speed are similar but I see better Random speeds on the Samsung and also a capture of the Samsung speeds. Note that the Samsung SSD is connected directly connected to the SATA port in the laptop.

I have at least half a dozen Samsung SSD's running in Laptops & Desktops at my home office and i wanted to try something with a little more space for about the same price. Granted even when on sale the 2TB Sandisk is a good $60 to $90 more than the equivalent Samsang EVO. The performance is far superior on the EVO drives standing at; 17% overall slower than the Samsung EVO drives, which is in no way saying that the SanDisk drives are slow, they are not. Check comparisions for yourself at; https://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/SanDisk-Ultra-3D-2TB-vs-Samsung-860-Evo-2TB/m351750vsm430706 Additionally I have noticed a stubborn controller issue on my older C606 server chips motherboard, for some reason it is having issues communicating properly with the Marvell 88SS1074 controller on the SanDisk drive where as the Samsung MJX controller has been running in that system since last September without issues. Samsung EVO Controller: Samsung MJX. Memory: Samsung 64 layer TLC V-NAND. SanDisk Controller: Marvell 88SS1074. Memory: SanDisk 3D TLC. With this said I am going to try the SanDisk on my new system which is running a Z390 Aurous Master Motherboard with a Intel i9-9900KS CPU, 128GB RAM (4 x32GB 3200 MHz) and a older RX 480 8GB GPU to try and keep things as equal as possible as the C606 system with its 3930k (running at a consistent 4.08 GHz) Hex Core 12 Thread and Quad Channel 64GB of RAM should be somewhat in the same neighborhood as the dual channel 8 Octa Core 16 thread i9 (Base 4.0 GHz). I just ordered a SanDisk 512 GB SSD of the same model type to see if it is something with this particular drive or if it is indeed a issue with controller compatibility, otherwise I have tested the SanDisk 2TB in a Asus G75 Laptop and it gained noticeable performance over the stock 1TB 7,200 RPM HDD. With that said it is always recommended to do at least some research before jumping on Sales or specials as compatibility may come to cause you more trouble than the price difference in certain situations.

Solid SSD, it performs as well as my old Samsung EVO 850 that I replaced. It is a little slower than some of the more expensive drives, but using this as an overflow/data storage drive, the minute speed differences are well worth the lower price. I'm very happy with this purchase.

SanDisk - Ultra 2TB Internal SATA Solid State Drive I recommend it to you, it is very fast
