Great Drive
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Picked this up on sale and it was a great value. Drive is pretty fast being NVMe and it is only triple layered vs the other budget drives that are quad layered. I still prefer single or dual for life of the drive, but for the price this is way better. :)

Fast and east to install
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, everything seems to be going well. There was an instance where my PC randomly shut down (forgot the error), but it has not occurred since. Upon arrival, everything was well packaged. I was also not expecting a meal card for HelloFresh. Upon taking the item out of the box, it was much smaller than expected. The installation was fairly easy. I am using a separate Hard Drive for paging file in order to preserve the writes to this SSD. (You should do if you have a lot of RAM or a separate hard drive, in order to preserve your SSD writes)

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionI see that the name of it says that it is for a laptop. In the description, however, it says it’s ideal for laptop and desktop. Will this work for both?
Asked by Desktop.
- A:Answer If your motherboard has an M.2 slot... or you adapt it using a PCI card, or SATA adapter, this will work just fine with a desktop. Most modern (past 2 years) desktops will have the M.2 slot inside

Q: QuestionIs this product compatible with the Playstation 5?
Asked by Joe.
- A:Answer Hello Joe ,Sony added support for external USB hard drives on the PS5 with their April 2021 update. However, due to PS5 restrictions, games can only be played off the console’s internal SSD. As such, external USB storage hard drives only function as a faster way to hot-swap games and data on or off the PS5’s internal storage. -Need Help? Please see our "'Contact Us" page for information.
