Nothing to report, everything works fine. The product is as expected for the moment.
I have mounted this SSD as a system drive on a gaming oriented configuration, and to say the least, I am not disappointed!
Windows 10 boots up in the blink of an eye!
I also installed some games on it, especially online games, and I'm always the first to join the games. The maps are loaded very quickly.
The price of this SSD is also very attractive...so much so that I'm considering buying a second one to complete the second M2 port on my motherboard.
No surprises, went from an HDD build to a full SSD build, with this one as the main drive. Windows boots up in a snap and no problems to report.
Runs well on Windows 10 with an AMD Ryzen 5 3400G processor.
Windows boot time under 5s.
The switch from a SATA SSD to an M.2 SSD like this one is not as noticeable as the switch from an HDD to an SSD. It's a great improvement in terms of responsiveness, although file transfers are still not instantaneous ;-)
