Pros

The value is unbeatable! This is almost on par with samsung's top of the line models for ¾ the price. Research historical data for price fluctuations. Updated for 2022.

The silicon power 2tb ud90 nvme 4. Is my first nvme chip and it's 2 tb. Unbelievable endurance 3,600tbw in the 2tb model. A 1tb pci 4. Is also available.

The longest part of the boot process is the uefi bios. While not the fastest read/writes of the gen 4 drives.

This was installed on an asus tuf gaming x570-pro wifi. It is installed with the asus provided (with the motherboard) m2 heat sink. It has a high tbw rating (1,800 tbw rating) and i'm getting the advertised read and write speeds.



Cons

This used to be a go to brand but changing the controller after using a faster one used for reviews is sketchy. Cpu slot of the mb (z690 - intel 12700k - ddr4000mhz) and the writing performance is really poor in the best scenario 239mb/s for sequentia...  Read More

Price


No comment on longevity but for the price, assuming these last, this is a 5 star product.


Very nice item in a very cheap cost


But the cost was great and wanted a gen 4.


And doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Shipping


This drive gives you what you pay for, it's fast and easy to install


Then restarted but very slow and then stop again.

Packaging/appearance


Upon turning on the ps5 i was prompted to format it, which completed quickly and returned a read speed of 5,635mbps.

Competitiveness


Not to mention you get a 5-year warranty.


At most there is a couple percentage point difference over hours and hours of continuous use, but in value for money, this ssd ...  Read More


The nand height on the back side might also be an issue with some heatsinks.


To some extent there seems to be some bait and switch here as earlier reviews had 5600mb in ps5.

    I have not tested it in my pc to see if its replicable and actual false advertising


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Id wager in the future this would only be problematic with ps5 exclusives and its not deal breaking to limit it to only storing those few games that might be affected
