Pros & Cons
Pros
If you are looking for a drive to put in a portable enclosure this is plenty good enough. Not the fastest ssd in the world but for my application (in a hifi cd ripper) doesn't have to be.
Cons
Twice as slow as the crucial mx500 for me. Ended up returning this and spending a bit more money. These ssd drives are dramless but do not say.
Highlights
Quality
Great quality, speed tests are over 480-500mb/s really good value!
Shipping
Fast to boot, fast to use now.
Packaging/appearance
Packaging was great and the drive performs well above my expectations.
Competitiveness
Great 1tb ssd at a good price.
Read times of 500mb/s and write times of 400mb/s this has to be the best performing 256gb ssd for its price.

Mind you it does struggle to run more than 2 tabs in firefox but thats rather impressive for a dated laptop to still be useful
