Overview
Not an NVMe stick, this is a laptop-size SATA drive that swaps into a hard drive bay. Its stacked NAND flash replaces a spinning disk, and a metal case protects the circuit board.
Dropping it in place of a hard drive cuts boot and load waits on an older machine. Mounting hardware and cables are not itemized, and the listed read speed differs between fields.
Who it's for
An upgrader who wants a large, fast drive in the standard small-format bay of a laptop, desktop or console. Owners of newer machines with only stick-style slots, or those seeking top speeds, need a different format.
Pros and cons
- Fits standard laptop-size bays
- Three year warranty
- Console support listed
- Read speed listed two ways
- Only the drive in the box
- SATA speed ceiling
- Part number field unreadable
Performance notes
SATA III caps throughput well below modern NVMe drives, and the stated read and write rates are close to that limit. Gains over a hard drive show up as faster boot, app launch and file copy. Sustained write speed after the cache fills is not described.
