Pros & Cons
Pros
Easy to install and works perfectly. Clear instructions for the os reinstallation make the process more manageable. Great price for size and performance.
Cons
I hope mine was just a dud, but after a full dd if/of transfer, the steam deck died and wouldn't boot into linux. Went with a sabrent instead.

Having tested, this will not work if you are trying to use it with a 3rd party xbox series s/x memory card case.
Windows booted 1st time with the new drive and i noticed no difference in speed.
Price
Easy to fit and great price for size and performance.
Went from 64gb to 1tb for a small price.
Btw i sent with this one as it was cheaper than sabretooth, i don't think there is any real difference in performance.
Packaging/appearance
Really easy to install (used online videos - aside from the heatshield removal, its a breeze), solid as a rock and well packaged.
Competitiveness
Well priced and easy to use, just as good as the original microsoft ssd speed wise.
Not the drive's fault, just the accepted spec of the xbox.
The xbox only sees western digital sn530 2230 drives in these cases, and this will not be accepted.

Used to upgrade my oled steam deck i know these have a premium because of the size but you can literally buy a 2tb full sized ssd for an extra £10 with similar readwrite speeds so i have a hard time believing a premium this large is actually warranted
