This was my first NVMe SSD purchase, and I could not be happier! It's been running great, and my temps are great too! I was surprised how fast Windows 11 installed on this thing. It had those files copied over and installing in hardly no time. I've installed Windows many times, but never seen it install that fast. No issues with gaming. Games load pretty fast. Drive installation was easy. My motherboard had an included beefy heatsink, so I did not have to purchase one. So keep in mind, you don't need to buy a heatsink if your motherboard already includes a decent one.
Yeah, so far all is good and hoping it stays this way! And I would certainly recommend this drive!
Lastly, be sure to pull off the protective film covering the thermal pad on back of the heatsink before installing your drive. I've watched some YouTube videos of some installing their drives and forgetting to remove that film. That's not good!
I bought the 1TB with the Heatsink for my PS5, took me about 5 minutes to install. Runs great, copies games and other files really fast. Bought mine in Sweden so it was a little more expensive then it is now. I simply love it. All reviews says the same: it is the best! Better than Samsung and so on. But one advice, now that they are so cheap; go for the 2TB. Trust me you wont regret it.
