Quality


The good news is this drive is solid in every performance metric.


A well regarded controller and having a cache is good.


No adhesive is used, only thermal pads.


For reference, after 6 months of use, my main system drive has 14 tbw (so 1% of it's total rating) in about 5000 hours of use t...  Read More

Price


Got this ssd for an amazing price.


Well worth the price, even at the standard price point.


I purchased this on sale for $179.


But what it is is high performance ssd priced very well with a ton of storage and priced well (at least when i purchased it).

Competitiveness


- storage value - it's worth questioning when a drive is more than 20% cheaper than similar competition.


There are faster, but it's still twice as fast as gen 3, and the faster drives are within 10% of these speeds, and mostly not n...  Read More

    Given i was going to be recording and editing videos i wanted a high speed drive


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Also games are starting to use directstorage and the discount to drop down to half the speed gen 3 drives is not enough to really consider unless i was looking at a 3rd drive for store and forget stuff


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Knowing my use case this was not a major risk for me


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Of note its a innogrit ig5236 ssd controller with a dram cache


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Also of note im aware this is slower than gen 5 drives but gen 5 drives are super expensive and if you dont have a gen 5 slot or are doing constant data transfers that will actually hit the speeds regularly theres little performance gains once you get near the max of gen 4 speeds for most daily use cases


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Pros full gen 4 pcie speeds up to 7000mbs read up to 6400mbs write as advertised


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    There are faster but its still twice as fast as gen 3 and the faster drives are within 10 of these speeds and mostly not noticeable for 95 of all users
