A MUST BUY!
It works amazingly! I needed an extra storage of internal SSD for my computer since my 400GB M.2 SSD that came with my PC, has been almost full since 2022. Now that I have 2TB of SSD storage, playing newer games have been no problem! The write speeds are enough if you’re looking for stock quality SSD speeds, and games such as Fortnite, Marvel Rivals, Hell Divers 2, Elden Ring & more will run fantastic on it! That was my biggest worry: Would this product undersell the performance and load times of some of the newer, more faster big titles. It did not disappoint! I absolutely needed more storage. This is the way to go! Quick PSA to anyone who might have issues getting the SATA to be recognized— Look up on google “How to turn on SATA drive using command prompt” and follow the instructions google gives you to bring that baby online! It worked for me (Even while I had the drive plugged in, I couldn’t figure out how to bring it online until research brought me there!).

Should have upgraded sooner!
So far this SSD hard drive is working great! I cloned my existing drive that was starting to run very slow. Now my PC starts right up, programs and file load instantly. I bought a second to upgrade another PC.
