> 3 dayFirst drive sent out to me was capping out around 40MB/s on transfers through SATA3. Ended up getting a second drive and it performed as expected. For the price, I would recommend this drive. Minus star for first unit being a dud

> 3 dayThe price on SSDs have dropped but this 1T drive is only slightly less than a 2T mechanical drive. No problems migrating my boot disk to this drive with the appropriate software.

> 3 dayHaving 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.

> 3 dayFinally 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.

> 3 dayPictured above is storage size (Windows displays size in binary system, advertised as 2tb decimal and when plugged into my ps5, it reads at 2.05tb) Speeds are close to as advertised, but did not do extensive testing. Just making sure people know that about the size, because I forgot for a minute that there are 2 different units of bytes and got super upset lol. One downside, for some reason I could not get my pc to detect these drives. I have come across this issue once before, where I used my PlayStation to format it, but for these, I ended up plugging them into my phone and formatting them with it. Not sure why they didnt pop up on a laptop but will on a phone or gaming console.

Greater than one weekI bought this to use as a secondary drive for some more space as the NVMe drive on my gaming laptop runs Windows and is only 258gb. So I cant tell you how well it boots or runs windows. I wont post any CrystalDiskMark scores because what we really want is real world usage and nobody really gets those scores. Easy to install other than a few broken fingernails getting the back of the laptop off. Cmos disk error on reboot because I disconnected the battery during install but Windows fixed on reboot. Used the disk manager to initialize and allocate to drive D. Im posting some screenshots. C is my Windows Hynix NMMe drive. D is the Teamgroup AX 512gb SSD drive and E is my microSD card. Copying 160gb from my SD card to the Teamgroup drive took about 40 minutes. Not bad considering it was coming from a flash that doesnt read so fast. The Desktop (C) to Data were a windows 10 and 11 ISO files. The D to New folder is an example copying a file from D to D, in which it has to read and write at the same time. So there is some examples of real-world use. Speeds will vary depending on if youre copying from another drive, flash drive or within the drive as you can see. Fastest speed I saw was 450 mbps. Overall, Im more than happy with it. Considering I was getting write times in the 20s and 30s on my SD card this is super-fast. Would I have gotten faster speeds if I had bought a WD, Crucial or Samsung? Maybe. But not enough to justify the extra money. As far as longevity is concerned, lets just say that Ive never had a drive fail on me since I began using computers in the 90s. So take this for whatever its worth. Good deal at $28.

> 3 dayI 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.
