    • Good Value for the price esp when on sale
Capacity: 250GB
Bought this 2 years ago to use as solely for OS drive, currently is on 92% health which is good, the advertised read and write speeds are slightly below whats is advertised but is to be expected.

    • Used my m.2 enclosure to copy the old drive to this one
Capacity: 500GB
And the copy worked like a charm. My system initially rebooted ok, but then wouldn't reboot at all. It turned out the motherboard bios needed an update. This drive has the newer protocols that my oldish MB didn't support. Updating the bios fixed it and it now works like a charm. So be sure to keep the old one around and in tact for a week or so before committing it to some other use. (like collecting gold from old parts...I'm gonna be rich, rich I tell you!) The speed is much faster then my 4 year old Samsung EVO, the system boots noticeably faster. Not every piece of software will be able to copy from the m.2 sitting on the motherboard to a m.2 enclosure connected via USB. I finally used Macrium Reflect and that did the trick, don't try to be clever and copy only the partition of interest, those other partitions are tiny and worth keeping... At any rate the drive is fast, has a excellent warranty and is as fast. ... show more

    • Great performance, great price
Capacity: 1TB
I installed this as an upgrade to a SATA SSD and performance is exactly what you want from a Gen3 NVMe drive, especially at the price point. It's competitive performance-wise with low-to-midrange Gen4 drives. Installation is a snap. PNY is a reputable brand. Pros: Performance and value, ease of installation Cons: Ships with 512ke firmware instead of 4KN mode which will provide a small hit to performance unless the part is reflashed. PNY had a tiny "scandal" a while back for quietly reducing the specified write durability of this product series after announcement. ... show more

    • Works in ROG STRIX Enclosure
Capacity: 1TB
I first received the hard drive today to use in an enclosure. I know PNY says they don't support use with an enclosure, but I decided to go ahead and give it a try anyway and worst case scenario I have another M.2 slot on my motherboard. Right now, it is THE fastest drive in the house using the USB-C connection, with only one exception. It doesn't accept connection to my 4 year old motorola android phone but I didn't expect it too (it just would have been a huge bonus to have NVME be usable with phone - but definitely not worth docking a point for in my use case). YMMV. Overall, it was very fast at a WINDOWS (I consider this important) write speed of 550MB/S. Now you may say that's USB 3.0 speed and that would be correct thought that's a theoretical maximum at USB 3.0. I am running this through a USB-C port in an external enclosure though (NOT in a motherboard M.2 slot). Basically I'm getting SATA speed through a USB-C port. Though not quite as advertised it is still a PHENOMENAL leap in performance. Earlier I was transferring RAW files from an old USB 3.0 hard drive. Transferring in real world cases with BIG files the hard drive CHUNKED along at 30 MB/S which is well below SATA speed spec. The fact that I'm getting (you sittting down, you ready?) 550 MB/S instead through USB-C is STILL a difference of almost 20x faster speed. The same chunk of files through a SATA External took 30 minutes. The same going through this enclosure took 75 seconds flat. BUY THIS DRIVE! I recommend pairing with the ASUS STRIX. I will re-update as time goes on but this is phenomenal for use with a laptop now. I am floored with such a lightweight external storage option. People just need to keep in mind that specs of an m.2 port will get that advertised 3500MBPs most likely! However running through cables and USBC will be a slight bottleneck. That bottleneck advertised speed is about SATA or 550MBPs. My test case was 50GB of RAW photo files from my camera. ... show more

Review Image by wingzero wingzero
Got this drive when the price dropped to $129.99 on amazon. I am certainly impressed by the performance. Hard to get a 2TB drive that used 3D TLC NAND flash and has DRAM. Comes pretty close to 970 EVO plus in terms of performance except the 4K random speeds.
