Nvme Technology
Customers are highly satisfied with the performance of the Transcend NVMe SSD, particularly when used with Raspberry Pi 4. They praise its ease of installation and compatibility with various setups. Despite not being the fastest or having the largest storage capacity in the category, it is still considered a top-tier value SSD.
Fast Booting
Customers have generally positive feedback about the fast booting and improved performance of this SSD. Some report significant reductions in boot times, while others mention quicker writes and reads leading to faster loading programs. However, a few users note that write speeds are not as impressive but still consider it a worthwhile investment due to its affordability and better read speeds compared to micro SD cards.
Highlights
Quality
A remarkable improvement from the minutes spent booting from my previous top tier hard drive disk.
I highly recommend this drive with the ssk enclosure, as they both worked flawlessly.
Revived my old acer laptop that i thought was never going to function again.

I would use it again for other sbc computers as i experiment with the systems.

Now obviously the usb 3 interface slows things down compared to being able to install this directly into a computer with an nvme interface but the rpi doesnt have that option
