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

Pictured 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.

Value for money SSD (AX200) which I will use for pictures and videos backup on my PC

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.

Very low price ($25 for 512GB). Works fine in a RAID1. Decent speed. It was odd that the 2-pack cost several dollars more than just buying 2 of the drives as individuals. (Im sure some customers made that mistake and felt ripped-off.) Hopefully they will last as many years as my non-Teamgroup SSDs have lasted. Good job TeamGroup! (Fix the 2-pack pricing issue and keep your customers happy.)

Perfect for secondary internal SSD.

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

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.

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.
