I already considered I had quite a responsive W10 pc with a Sata SSD installed and 32 gb of ram. After reading about the speed of these M2 SSDs and as my motherboard had an M2 slot available I took the plunge and decided to reorganise the PC and put the OS and programs on this M2 device. leaving the data files on the Sata SSD. Certainly, the OS and programs load in seconds, and I am very pleased at the outcome. The improved response time is very noticeable although at present I don't use the PC for anything taxing. As I intend to digitise many old photgraphic slides in the near future I used this as an 'excuse' to spend on this M2 memory. However when I found that the cost of this device (500GB) was only about 15-20% more than a decent make Sata SSD, and could run at 3X speed I decided on the change. This ADATA device is certainly less costly than an equivalent Samsung 970 EVO and has had good reports in the technical press. I would certainly recommend this device if your PC needs a boost and can accommodate an S2 memory, either via an M2 motherboard slot or using an ISO extension card.Read full review

As my PCs motherboard does not have M2 connector I also purchased PCIe adapter to take this SSD and it went in and worked first time. It was very quick to install a new windows 10 (under 15 mins) and all looked to be fine. However when trying to boot this installed OS I came unstuck as my motherboard could not see it to boot from. This is no reflection on the SSD as I am now using it as general purpose data storage under windows 10 where it is equally fast at both reafing and writing. Just be aware that as a bootable OS disk drive the motherboard bios may limit your capability!

This NVMe SSD is really fast and lives up to NVMe 1.3 speeds. I have installed it on a Dell Latitude 7390 2in1 with an Intel Core i7 8650U and 16GB RAM. The advertised sequential read and write speeds are 3500MB/s and 2300MB/s respectively. I got 3200MB/s sequential read and 2200MB/s write which is good. I would recommend this SSD any day and would ever recommend it over the 970 Evo as they have the same performance buy the XPG is much cheaper. Make sure your system supports NVMe and make sure it has 4 PCIe lanes for the full speed; if you have 2 PCIe lanes, then you'll get a maximum of 2000MB/s read and write in which case it's not worth it as your losing so much performance and should get a something like the Intel 660p. NOTE: I used CrystaDiskMark for my benchmark.

This drive is excellent value and is super speedy - at least as good or better than my WD Blue. The heat sink is just a thin plate so I’m not sure how effective it might be, but my motherboard has its own heat sink so it’s no problem.

Very happy with it, cloned the ssd from my previous HDD and when i swapped over to ssd i immediately noticed a big difference in speed, editing my videos way faster now. Cheers
