Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

This is a great value nvme drive that competes with the best from samsung for significantly less money. Great ssdeasy install. Went with this drive as opposed to samsungs 970 evo mainly due to price difference. Long lasting ssd that's much faster than... Read More

It's specially good for laptops. But this nvme is perfect por the price, that's all. With a 5 year warranty, you just know it's a quality build.

This loads modern warfare to the main menu in 3. This is even on an nvme adapter card on an unsupported motherboard with a custom bios to support it. My os drive is a crucial m. Drive for steam and epic games.

Bought 2 of these for my server. Set them up in raid-0, results are in the pic.

Cons

Product is advertised as 500 gigabytes. Only has 465 gigabytes before installing windows. I don't think crucial, sabrent or samsung (they all make their own nand) have resorted to these deceptive practices so get an ssd from them instead.

2 drive that is at a great price, fast speed, and a truly quality product.

I went with the 250gb model as a boot drive.

Price

Got this drive when the price dropped to $129.

Some people have pointed out how this version is a revision of the original model, which had a higher tbw capacity, meaning it ... Read More

Shipping

Memoryc is a fast shipper, much quicker than amazon's free shipping.

Everyone seemed to like it, except for warranty, you pay shipping both ways.

Packaging/appearance

Also, the firmware on the orico was updated.

Competitiveness

It was also about $20 less than the western digital black competitor, and i've had good experiences with pny-brand hardware (be... Read More

I don't think that you should worry much, this is still a long lasting ssd that's much faster than the competition at the same price.

This is just 1 single drive in an x570 board.

I did select nvme, 3 passes and 1 gb, but i do not, for the life of me, understand why it is looking like the fastest nvme man ... Read More
