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

Using an SSD 2.5 for your main disk is basically a thing of the past. All new motherboards have been equipped with NVMe M.2 slots for the past 3-4 years. All SSDs are limited by the SATA speed of 6gbs. So buying a premium brand may not be the smart thing to do. We often use the 4gbs versions of SSDs in our builds so customers have a built-in backup. The other day we used four 4gig SSDs that were connected as a RAID 1 to give the customer a fast, (that is much faster than conventional hard drives), internal backup system. The normal hard drives may copy/read in the 250 range while this RAID 1 was doing it at 725.

For gaming ... are you kidding ... its not that fast. That being said this was bought to replace a hard drive in a work laptop. The old 4200 RPM spinner was just dog slow. So slapped this in and the laptop is almost like brand new. I wouldnt buy this for a high end gaming system, but it works great for what it is.

Ive used it for a week on my PS4 Pro, the general speed and response has improved, overall Im pleased with it

100% exelente

Good quality SSD works every time. And fast.

So I have installed this particular drive in three separate system. It doesnt perform as fast as a Samsung but it reaches 90 percent of the speed. So fast enough seems pretty good on longevity as well

The product works well and as designed

It is a good product, I recommend it

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.
