Awful Awful drive, please do not buy this, to anyone that sees this. This drive was bad originally as a TLC drive, then got downswapped to a QLC variant, I wouldnt even consider this a Nvme drive anymore due to the performance. please please please do not buy
These work fine if you have an older motherboard/cpu chipset that's locked into the PCIe 3.0 standard. I have a 500gb version of this drive in a 6th Gen i5 box that I use almost daily for work, and I've never had a problem with it. In fact I just benchmarked it a couple weeks ago and can't complain when you are just a tick under 2400mb/s reads after 30 months of usage. I have put a Samsung 970 EVO Plus in the same computer, and it benched a tiny bit better…but I rarely saw a difference in day to day performance. And with a $30 difference in price point….shrugs!
Of course, if you can afford a Samsung 970 Plus or 980 ($100-ish) or the Crucial P5 ($120), knock yourself out. But these are fine for $70. Not sure there's anything else at this price that I'd use in the 1TB class.
But would probably need to drop to $60-65 before I'd call it a true 'slick deal'!
