TEAMGROUP GX2 512GB 3D NAND TLC 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal Solid State Drive SSD (Read Speed up to 530 MB/s) Compatible with Laptop & PC Desktop T253X2512G0C101

Ya llevo usandolo mas de un año, y ha funcionado perfecto en mi portatil ASUS

This is my second TEAM SDD. Works great. Could have used installation procedures for initialing drive.

I appreciate Teamgroup for throwing the extra 12gbs on top of the 500, this means after windows 11 instal you’ll have about 490gbs remaining!

Este disco revivió mi laptop asus i5 8250U, quedó ejecutando todo rápido,

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.

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.

Ive purchased a total of 16 of these drives. Ive had one fail on me after about 2 months and have not sent it for RMA. Teamgroups RMA procedure on the website says I would need to pay to ship it to Taiwan and pay all customs / duties fees for shipping both ways, but they would pay the return shipping to me. Considering the low cost of the drive and the required amount of time this would take for international shipping, the cost of the international shipping, and the cost of the additional fees I would need to pay, I have waited and I am still debating if I want to deal with that and if its even worth it since Ive been so disappointed with these drives. Ive bought various other items from Teamgroup and so far have been happy with all except these drives and Teamgroups RMA policy. These drives worked well enough for basic single drive operation in a laptop/desktop as long as there was not any large amounts of data written to the drive. After the small internal cache of the drive is filled, they start to write data at ~15-25 MB/s. This is about 10% the performance of a traditional hard drive and about 5% of the performance of the drive before its internal cache is full. Using them in a RAID setup still cannot offset this poor performance. Even with 16 of these drives in a RAID0, they will still drop write rates to around 150-200 MB/s after the cache fills and will typically drop even lower to around 30-50 MB/s for large files (~5GB+). In comparison, a single 8TB traditional hard drive can sustain 180-220 MB/s for the entire file copy. For example, to copy 6.32TB of data over a 10Gb LAN from NVME drives, it took ~35hrs with these drives in a 16 drive RAID0 setup and ~10hrs to copy the same data to a single 8TB traditional hard drive. This is an average rate of ~180 MB/s for the 8TB HDD and ~53 MB/s for 16 of these drives in a RAID0. Setting these drives in other RAID setups was even worse: JBOD (spanned) = ~17 MB/s; RAID5 = ~29 MB/s; RAID6 = ~27 MB/s; RAID10 = ~32 MB/s. While the write speeds are very annoying if planning to write large amounts of data to these drives, it is the read speeds for large amounts of data that is why I am so disappointed. These drives could burst data at high rates and using synthetic benchmarks show very good read speeds in a 16 drive RAID0 setup, but under actual usage, they cannot maintain those speeds for very long and drop to very slow rates as well. The drop in read speeds isnt as significant as the write rates, but it is still an issue. Reading the same 6.32TB of data that was used in my write tests, these drives would average ~220 MB/s. This is much better than the write average, but still only slightly better than a single traditional HDD. Even short bursts are about the same speed when tested using random files. The synthetic benchmarks show read speeds of 4-5 GB/s, but it appears thats because the test file used in these benchmarks easily fit into the drives cache and is read from there during the benchmark tests. However, when testing using random files from the array, the read rate is much slower and mostly in the ~180-250 MB/s range. In summary, if you are looking for an affordable SSD for use in a laptop/desktop or as a boot drive for a server, these drives should be fine, but if you are looking to use these for a NAS or a server, keep looking and avoid these drives. I will note that some of my tests were done using only 15 of these drives in the various RAID setups as one of them failed. I also no longer use these drives and they are just sitting around. My use for these drives was at first for main NAS storage and that was downgraded to use as a backup for my main NAS and now nothing, because using two traditional HDDs in RAID1 for backup is faster than using 15 of these, even if used in RAID0 with no redundancy.

Legitimate product , I dont regret buying this...keep it up , thankyou for quality products. Hands down this is the one ssd your looking for.

Buena compra hasta el momento ha respondido muy bien el ssd

Finally decided to try an SSD after my wifes LAPTOP died. Once I figured out it was the 2yr old HHD was the issue, I started pricing a new drive. For the same price or even less I could get this SSD. Installed normally but WOW...what a difference. Windows 10 installed in less than 4 minutes (from USB). No more complaints about her laptop. And actually shes trying to keep me off it.
