    Unfortunately,BB did not price match on the drive I wanted. So I tried this PNY drive instead. I was able to make it work with my system. The drive did not come with any software for cloning. I was able to used "Macrium Reflect" free to clone my main drive to easy swap of my aging Samsung evo 850 ssd. It has been running very well for over a month now. Write and read speeds optimal.

    First one of these I’ve ever installed in on of my gaming PCs and now I’m wondering what took me so long. Bought it to install windows and all the drivers on. And boot up is fast and np at all. Very easy to install. Why would you not use one of these? Trust me, it’s worth the price.

    Purchased this drive as it was a last resort due to the WD Blue NVME being out of stock. I have owned PNY products in the past, particularly flash drives so I thought why not give it a shot? It was cheaper than the MX500 & WD Blue at the time. This NVME was very easy to install and format with no issues, although there was no m2 screw, my motherboard had one thankfully. This drive uses the E12 controller which is definitely one of the best SSD controllers many manufacturers use. This drive is on par performance wise with even some of the more expensive options such as the WD Black & 970 Pro. You get super fast speeds, and a drive from reliable brand you can trust.

    Bought this an OS drive for a budget build. Definitely does the trick. Pc boots Incredibly fast, is super responsive, and the read/write speeds are better than anything else I’ve used in the past.

    Windows starts up super fast and everything i have installed on it loads fast. It's good if you have a larger HDD and want something smaller for windows.

    This is the first M.2 drive I ever installed. I purchased this to install it in a Dell Vostro desktop. It was easy to install (one screw) and so far no issues.
