Nadie te da más por tan poco, la velocidad no es de las mejores, pero tampoco de las peores, es muy alta y casi no se distingue de los ssds más rápidos, y el precio es muy contenido

Solid ssd to have in your build

I paid £185 delivered on 22/07/21 for the 2Tb model (at time of writing the proce has changed to £199) & knew it wasnt the fastest but was above middle of the road in terms of speed read / write performance (read quoted in the listing as up to 2600mb/s) and with Crystal reader Im getting 2,200-2,300 read & cant get near the quoted 2600, this may be because its the 2Tb model but I guess Im ok with that. The spec of the primary drive (a 1Tb Samsung) is listed at 3300 read & the CrystalRead / same test achieved 3300 repeatedly so I think theres probably exagerrated marketing going on for this WD Blue SN550 drive. I would return it however, I have installed it into an Acer Predator Triton 500 PT515-52 2020 model (with 10th gen i7 & 2080 Super Max-Q) & in this particular chassis, the motherboard is reversed so RAM & storage is on the adjacent side to that exposed after removingthe base-lid. So, in other words, its a royal begger to remove it now - only to have to do it again later when any replacement arrives later (aside from the risk of damaging screen & other ribbn cables on the Motherboard - all f which has to be completely released from the case to replace the RAM & add / replace storage). As the 2nd drive is merely for storage, in fact, at the price Ive paid, with the performance its ACTUALLY delivering, as another reviewer says (TJ); its quick enough for almost all tasks. I have to say though, MS Flight Sim 2020 Premium De-Luxe does take a wee-while to load (on my Desktop) which runs from a Crucual 2TB MX500 so, this should load quicker (except that the CPU in the laptop is an i7 rather than a 10th Gen i9 so perhaps I can;t expect better data throughput becuase of the class of machiens Im using). So all in all, I guess Im happy-ish! It would have been nice to have seen 2500/2600 read speeds as per my Sammy immediately exceeding stated performace but hey-ho! Formatted space (NTFS) is exactly 1.8Tb as reported by Win10 21h1 build. 1 final note, mine had a sticker saying Amazon Warehouse on it; it MAY have been pre-opened - but owing to reasons above, I deciced to crack on with installation - but I will be complaining to Amazon abou that - as it was a new / pristine model I bought! ** Update **, when buying I had 2 options; new but imported, import duty & deposit fees taken up-front - which was £2/3 cheaper but delivered 1 day later, or a NEW one - a day earlier - like I say - both New (Id swear) but now I check the order history; it does say Used - Like New so I kicked off a lil at Amazon & theyve given me 20% as if it was a Warehouse special, which I think is faor enough (as the special price on this seems to have ended now anyway). I just need to know how to determine how used it really is. I guess lightly but you never know! Caveat emptor folk!

Great all rounder
