    Installed this in my new gaming build for Windows and a few games I'm playing regularly. From cold start to fully loaded windows ready to go (no spinning mouse cursor) is about 12-15 seconds. Amazing difference from my old PC

    I have purchased 2 of these 256 GB M.2 PCIE drives over the past year, once at regular price and recently on sale. Either way it's worth the purchase but if you can find them on sale, it makes it an even better purchase

    I bought this for my gaming rig and glad I did. I use it as a boot drive, and it's very fast. It's worth the investment. Downside is its small.

    I have this to run my O.S. and my Nvidia drivers on my PC build. Works great in my M.2 slot. I do recommend but I would opt for a 500gb next time. Just for a little extra space.

    I purchased this product because my new computer wasn’t as fast as I wanted it to be. There is a drastic change in boot speed so far, am highly impressed.
