    for the price, it is expensive compared to an SSD of about 500gb. TLDR: this m.2 970 EVO, windows loads in 5 seconds. from login screen to desktop screen, 1.4 seconds. also, Help at the bottom of this review, it's important to go into bios. find this info at the bottom. a typical mechanical HDD at 7200 RPM is barely 150mb/sec speeds a typical SSD is about 500mb/sec speeds this m.2 is a blazing 2.5gb/sec to 3gb/sec. i've tested it, it's fast. i had an 7200 RPM HDD with my PC, it slowed down a lot. windows took over 2 minutes to load, and log into windows. sometimes longer on my 12 core CPU, 24GB ram, 3000 mhz, RX580. this m.2 970 EVO, windows loads in 5 seconds. from login screen to desktop screen, 1.4 seconds. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, you must go into bios and do a safety erase on this before you can install windows. it's some kind of security thing. look it up. knocking down one star because of over a day of this simple issue.
