Llegó muy bien todo

If you are shopping this, you are looking for the cheapest SSD that will still perform to spec. I am happy to report that this is indeed the case. I get reads/writes as specified. I copied my Activision library from an NVMe drive to this one ystd, ~400gb, and it sustained 400-500MB/s throughout. Mostly hovering around 450. This is pretty much standard for SATAIII SSDs at this point so nothing out of the ordinary. Doesn’t choke after a few GB like some cost-optimized drives will when they run out of cache. Physically, they definitely saved money. The case is plastic. The PCB is about 1/4th of the case. This is fine imo, it is not a display piece and the screw-holes have a metal insert so even if you’re moving it around a few times, the physical construction is probably more than adequate. It does have a metal-looking sticker on the top, so if it does happen to be visible in your build, it is not offensive. I’d buy it again if its cost is lower than similar models. Basically just a commodity drive at commodity price. Gave it a 3 stars on “for gaming” because I think gamers should be looking at PCIe-based storage these days. For games that don’t saturate SATAIII it is fine.

Exelente disco buena velocidad

Needed to upgrade the hard drive on my PS4 and this made the games load up quick. Theres times when youre waiting for maps to load and with the ssd drive they load up in secs. Highly recommend for PS4 users especially if you have a 5 year plus console because those drives will eventually die and whatever you have in them will be lost.

I bought this 2tb SATA III internal SSD for $72. Amazing value. I was a little worried that the performance would be poor but I am getting sustained writes just below 500MB/s and sustained reads just over 500MB/s. Very, very large writes eventually slow down but I was able to get decent speeds even when writing 500gb consisting of several hundred thousand of files for a big backup task – took about 30 minutes or an average of half the smaller sustained write speed which isnt spectacular but perfectly fine. And completely expected. Reads never slow down, its only writes that eventually get slower. In normal operation where you are writing only small amounts to the drive at any one time even if youre reading very large amounts, you will never see the speeds drop below about 500MB/s. This is a great archive, backup, and general storage drive. It cant compete with really fast modern SSDs with faster interfaces but the performance is right in line with other inexpensive SSDs using a SATA III interface. Most of those other inexpensive SSDs are more expensive than this one, sometimes a lot more expensive. I have it in a USB 3 gen1 enclosure and I can boot my computer with it just fine. Its certainly not the best boot drive but youd pay quite a bit more for a better boot drive let alone a best one. Just got it today so I cant speak about longevity. The TBW specified by the manufacturer for the 2tb version which I got is pretty good. I dont plan to ever fill it up more than just a bit past halfway and its for incremental backups so after today the writes will be pretty small and therefore I expect it will last me for as long as I care to keep it in service.

What a time to be alive, a 2TB high speed drive for less than hard drives used to cost. Used this to double the SSD capacity of my system, allowing no-compromise storage of games which take up more and more space.

... a great price and perfect install...what more do you need...oh yes and it works after disc activation...

Needed a speed boost on my Dell T30 Server. Not a bad price.

Having just received this new, it was formatted for the first time in a hdd enclosure without problem. I have not benchmarked it, but I suspect it will function on par with other SSD in its class. Only time will tell how welll it holds up. Thats the only real reason I gave it only 4 stars instead of 5. I may change that rating later based on performance later. I cant speak for modern gaming speeds. There are better options out there for that. But as a simple upgrade from a mechanical hard drive or smaller/older ssd, you will likely notice some performance increase. For the price, its an affordable replacement or upgrade.

I really like this drive. A great value and the drive works perfectly. I bought a second one for another laptop. All of the Team Group products I have purchased have worked exceptionally well.
