Great SSD
This is perhaps the best PCIe gen 4 SSD in terms of value. Performance is amazing, longevity is great, and an amazing price. Samsung do have better SSDs but they are usually much more expensive and not that big of a step up. No surprise that the best SSD PCIe gen 3 too is this one too but the gen 3 variant. The P1 and P2 are cheaper but they have much worse performance and definitely not as long of longevity. I personally won't cheap out on an SSD after my experience with a PNY SSD losing half of its lifecycle in just 1 year.

It stores stuff, really fast.
I installed this drive into an external M.2 Enclosure. (Asus ROG Strix Arion) It transfers data very fast over a proper high speed connection, as an NVMe drive should. Good stuff.

The SSD is operating as expected. It is fast and everything is great. I have been mulling over this upgrade for over 5 months now. I needed something faster than a 7200 rpm HDD to support my local server installations. This solution is working just fine. What surprised me most was how easy it was to copy over my windows installation to the new SSD from my existing HDD. Login to the Crucial website and download the Disk clone utility. Crucial has provided Adonis for the disk clone. After installation of the software suite, just select the source and destination and hit go. I had about 300 GB to be copied over and that took about 3 hours. I rebooted my PC and manually entered the boot menu (press F2 on ASUS while on the startup screen). Now there were two entries. I selected the second boot option and changed the boot order. And that is it, Windows booted up on the new SSD which had arrived 4 hours back. No hassle of installing the drivers or supporting software. Everything copied over just as is. All my projects and even the RDR2 save game was copied over with success. Next step was to just re-format the HDD and I was done with the upgrade.

Ich habe mein System aufgerüstet mit neuer Hardware. Mir hat man empfohlen von Sata SSD auf M.2 umzuwechseln. Eine sehr weise Empfehlung! Da mein System PCIe 4.0 unterstützt habe ich natürlich diese M.2 angeschafft. Mein System bootet gefühlt jetzt doppelt so schnell. 500 GB ist ausreichend für eine Systemplatte. Daraufhin habe ich für meine 2. Steckplatz eine weitere M.2 besorgt. Eine Datensicherung meiner Systemplatte hat früher ca. 5 min. gedauert (SSD->HDD). Jetzt nur ca. 1 min. (M.2->M.2). Zugegeben 5. Min. sind nicht lange, aber 1. Min. ist nicht zu verachten. Eine klare Weiterempfehlung!

Worth the money, not like cheaper 2tb variants, this has higher read write speeds. Working as expected. Do research before buying, such as chip used in SSDs. In this variant chip is there, so it works better than chipless cheaper variants.

Installation was iffy, as I didn't have the right screws, and decided to improvise with a longer but still functioning screw. Just a note that you should also purchase m2 screws with this. When installing a BeQuiet! heatsink (with copper pipes) it was amazingly easy and it functions since my temperatures are almost equal to my games SSD, both at idle. Speeds are amazing, but Task Manager makes it look slow when you look at the Read Write speed values. Loading times are above expected, as it takes literally 5 seconds from the BIOS options screen (not POST, since you get a delay for choosing options after the POST) before the login screen loads in. Discord loads in twice as fast, and Opera GX finally loads as normal, and doesn't skip the little intro when it starts. OBS is what reveals it's true power. The finalisation speeds of any recording is so incredible, that it doesn't even get to show you the prompt before it is complete. Overall, this is an amazing upgrade from a 5200RPM Hard drive, and is worth your money when purchased with a BeQuiet! MC1 Pro NVME Cooler. The storage capacity should be just enough for anyone who has another SSD for extra storage, especially for fellow gamers with an entire Steam Library of games.
