Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ 1TB of NVMe storage on a single M.2 2280 stick, no 2.5-inch bay or SATA cable needed
  • ✓ Sequential reads and writes both rated up to 1.76 GB/s over PCIe 3.0 x4
  • ✓ 256-bit encryption support for protecting a boot drive or work partition
  • ✓ Standard 80mm M.2 form factor drops into most desktop and laptop NVMe slots

Cons

  • ✗ QLC 3D NAND, so sustained large writes slow once the SLC cache fills
  • ✗ 1.76 GB/s trails current PCIe 4.0 and 5.0 drives by a wide margin
  • ✗ PCIe 3.0 x4 interface leaves newer motherboards' bandwidth unused
  • ✗ Retail single pack ships bare, with no heatsink or mounting screw listed
