    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.

    Been waiting for prices on SSDs to reach a good price. Using for back up for externals and they are worth it. Speed is good.

    I have been using two hard drives in my home system for many years. 1. Small-fast-expensive - to install the operating system. 2. Big-slow-budget - for data storage. At first it was on stationary computers, today many laptops are produced just for this scheme - a small M2 with a system, and an empty pocket for a 2.5 ssd. This disk is budget in price, but it has very good characteristics and a very large TBW (1600 for 2Tb) is declared. That is, for data, I suppose this is the best solution. Thank you. Update 2023.04.15. My friends made a remark to me: “You live well. If you consider M2 exclusively as a disk for the system. Of course! If you are upgrading an old computer, then to replace the HDD, installing TEAMGROUP AX2 256GB in place of the system one is great. This will increase the speed of the system several times. At the same time, buying a super-fast expensive SSD for old-heavy-metal - whats the point? He will not give the maximum he is capable of. So yes, TEAMGROUP SSD to replace your old HDD is a very good choice. Thank you.

    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.
