Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

First time experience with ssd and the comparison is ferrari vs mustang. This ssd rocks, it makes no noise and is lightning fast.

The drives run cool, and are meeting the transfer and seek numbers that make ssds superior to traditional drives. At idle, the old drive sat around 1°c over ambient, this one sits around 5°c.

Installed on an acer swift 1 with absolutely no issues. It's too short to comment about durability, they are guarantee 5 years of 24/7 working time. The old cpu is perfectly capable of handling almost all basic computing tasks and internet browsing.

The ext4 file system allows the drives to be removed and accessed in an emergency. Tb drives for caching. Popped this into my nvr for use with my home security camera system.

Cons

The drives work, but because the s. Can’t disable individual alerts, it’s either shut off all critical alerts or leave them all on. It's kept failing and freezing my server. The package was melted.

I purchased a less expensive competitor before purchasing this drive and i had to return it because its throughput was abysmal

Your traditional 7200rpm magnetic storage mechanical drive transfers at about 120mb a second
