The disk was fine at the beginning in the first 8 months, but after that, due to a cheap technology it has compared to other NVMe SSDs, it constantly crashes if it is 85-95% full and overall I am not satisfied at all. It's not worth it, don't get this piece of junk, spend twenty bucks that you would spend on a walk with a friend and get the Samsung 870 Evo, simply superior. I wasted my money on this disk...
Strange case. I have it on a laptop that I bought in December 2019. It's fast, but only when it has enough free space. When I reached about 85% and wanted to do a heavy task, it was at 100% usage and the read/write speeds were 10-15mb/s (yes, you read that right). With a very short duration (2-3 seconds), every 20 seconds it would hit 150-300mb/s in both read and write. This, from what I read, has to do with the type of cache it uses and the space it relies on, based on the total storage space used on the SSD (here's a diagram: [link]).
Indeed, when I checked its temperature, after about 30 minutes of usage at 100% and it being very slow, I saw that it was consistently at 65-70 degrees Celsius. 70 is the maximum limit mentioned by Intel. Of course, it's a laptop and there's nothing to cool it down, so it will be different on a desktop. The next day, I moved many files to the hard drive (which was writing at 50-100 mb/s without any problem) and now I'm at 250/475gb of free space, hoping that the cache will last more than 3 seconds.
So basically, you buy an SSD but you have to use much less storage space if you want the speed it claims, and it costs much more than an HDD... 55 euros for 475gb and I can only use up to 250 of them.
I have the SSD as my main disk and after 5 months of use, I have filled the 475GB, resulting in blue screen crashes when it is under heavy load. The SSD crashes as long as it always has less than 90% space filled
Absolutely satisfied with the performance of the disk, although I have had it for a short period of time. I installed games and photos on it to replace a WD Red because whenever I tried to view photos, the whole computer would slow down. Of course, this no longer happens. Compared to the Evo 970 that I have, it falls behind in terms of performance, but still meets the nominal specifications and more. I was a bit worried about it not having a heatsink, but it doesn't overheat. I got it for 100 euros and for this price, it's worth every penny so far. Time will tell about its reliability. I didn't use the software, so I don't have an opinion on it. The difference is noticeable even in the loading of games, even compared to a Patriot 500 SSD that I have.
This particular SSD is a really good case. It may not be the fastest one currently available, but unless you constantly copy large files, you won't notice the difference. It is perfect for everyday use and gaming.
Owner of the aforementioned disk since November 2019. Good disk and I plugged it into the asus rog strix b 450 - F gaming. I don't see any difference in boot compared to an SSD because I believe it's also a motherboard issue. On the desktop, it gives a faster sense of speed compared to a 120GB SSD I had before.
Now regarding the software it has for file transfer or commonly known as cloning, it doesn't compare to Samsung's, but it's okay. It is recommended for a clean install and not for copying the system from an older disk. For those who want system transfer, get the Samsung Evo SSD, which has a better file transfer program.
The price is satisfactory and it's worth getting the 2TB version for a few extra euros. That's it.
I put it in a gigabyte gaming b350m rev 1.0 and it simply works as expected. Very good value for money, I think it is the best choice in terms of performance for this price.
The disk was installed on a mini motherboard z270n-wifi from gigabyte. It was recognized directly in the BIOS and there was no problem from the Windows disk management. The file transfer was fast and the disk seems to reach the advertised speeds. Its use will mainly be for game installation, and I don't see a reason for someone to go for a more expensive disk with the same capacity.
Best purchase in terms of quality and speed! I bought it because I occasionally work and edit videos. The difference from an SSD is significant only when the workload is heavy. Otherwise, I didn't notice any particular differences in booting Windows and other small tasks. It's worth its money and more
If you don't have high expectations, it's fine. The only problem is with recording large files. It took almost an hour to copy about 800GB. Better as a second disk for games, etc.
Just installed it and the windows couldn't see it!
I went crazy!
In the Asus rog strix X470 gaming bios, nothing!
But it was visible to speccy and HWinfo that I had installed!
I downloaded the intel SSD toolbox, it could see it too but without full functionality...
Before I started banging my head against the wall, I downloaded the Intel Data Migration Software and ran the clone disk...
That was it! The C:/ clone was successful and worked perfectly immediately after shutting down the PC and disconnecting it from the power (according to the instructions)...
That's it, so that no other beginner like me goes through what I went through... :)
It does not come with screws or anything else "useful".
It has a 5-year warranty with 400 TBW or 0.1 DWPD, which is a bit low compared to the competition, but the price is great considering the speed!

Everything is good.
No longer supported by Intel but by solidigm...
15-1-2024 Still working without any problems! But the price has skyrocketed! Why?
