Yes its a QLC drive. Yes it will tank some on sustained writes and so on. However as a storage drive or game drive these work really well and are reliable. I have a couple of the 1tb versions as OS drives and Steam drives on family PCs and no one whines about things being slow. Intel 660p...

Adata up to their old tricks again by swapping in SKHynix NAND, reducing performance by approximately 23%. I dislike when companies do this yet realize they cannot always get the same components. In this particular case there was no warning ahead of time nor labels to differentiate changes...

My gaming rig's mobo is an older ASUS Maximus Hero VII. The board disables items when in "m.2" mode. I also have a Asus TUF Z270 that I don't see anything listed as being disabled when using m.2 drives. So my questions about the ASUS TUF Z270 are this. 1. It looks like it has two M.2 Slots...

I want to buy a m.2 ssd for this laptop but I've read that it has some sort of limitations in the bios when it comes to the m.2 slot, anyone has had any experience with this particular model? Thanks in advance.

Has anyone seen one of these? Does it exist? In my googling I've had a difficult time finding one. There are a few dual adapters out there, but they all seem to only hvae one M key slots for NVME and the other slot is for SATA only. Appreciate any suggestions.

Greetings! I'm a huge fan of Apricorn's ASW-USB3-25 (SATA to USB3) and AMSW-USB3 (mSATA to USB3) products that use a custom-branded version of HD Clone Pro called EZ Gig IV. It works great, simply, and easily! Now, I am looking for a rock solid reliable USB 3.x tool for M.2 SSDs (multi-key?)...

I've been reading about the Skull Canyon NUCs. They come with two M.2 slots. These slots are PCIe3 x4. So I'm wondering if you could run a GPU off one of them? With a ribbon cable to a x16 slot, that is. I'm thinking that current might be an issue, but could that be resolved if the card had a...
