Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

A picture is worth a thousand words they say. Bought at discounted price for $369. Seagate is a definite winner!

If you don't have a pci 4 motherboard this is still a good option. Using x570 motherboard with ryzen 3900xt. Seagate has created their own firmware for the phison ps5016-e16 controller which makes it perform better than any other nvme in its class wit... Read More

The tricky part is to get the end into the connector slot. Just unplugged the old ssd and booted right to the new drive.

I have two desktops and upgraded the one with this drive for one of my games. It is unreal how quick things load and work off this drive. Loads gta 5 in 30 seconds.

Cons

Seagate sent me a defective product and now i have no way to get a refund for a very expensive product. The writing speed is up to 1000 mbs only on pcie 3. Tried it with a heating sink, with different slots, and with different computers - nothing work... Read More

Temperatures are good using the integrated heatsink on my asus tuf x570-plus in a moderate airflow case.

Drive cache fills and chokes just over 120gb copied, then the performance is abysmal.

My laptop is lenovo p1 gen 2 and it's not compatiblegood thing about this product, it (ssd m2 2tb) is made in taiwan , not china.

Price

Great price for the size and speed.

Solid deal i got with a credit card promo.

0 nvme drive for way less money.

0, and decided (after a price drop) to go with the 1tb firecuda 520.

Shipping

Very fast, and had no compatibility issues.

I had a minor problem, but thanks to amazon's friendly service, i can exchange it for a new product without much difficulty.

Competitiveness

They both use the toshiba bics4 3d tlc nand chips which are more advanced than any other as of this writing.

Still, these are some of the fastest speeds on the market right now and it comes with a hefty mtbf / tbw / warranty from seagate.

I debated whether to give 4 or 5 stars for not meeting the random iops, but decided to give seagate the same benefit of the dou... Read More

I tried another brand before this one and it lasted less than 24 hours before it caused a no post / no boot situation and i had... Read More
